Empty pockets

Mom called at midnight, car won't start

Dad's got medical bills tearing him apart

Sister needs tuition, brother's in a bind

I'm the only one with cash, so I don't mind

But my account's bleeding red

Paying rent and other people's dread

I'm drowning here

But no one sees

I'm done being the walking bank

Running on fumes, running on blank

Gave till it hurt, gave till I broke

Now I'm gasping for air, I can't stay afloat

I love you all but I gotta say

I can't save you if I fade away

Remember that Christmas I missed the show?

Working doubles just to help them out, you know

Skipped my own birthday, missed my best friend's call

I've been the safety net, but I'm losing it all

They never asked how I'm doing fine

They just see dollar signs behind these eyes

I'm drowning here

Can't pretend

I'm done being the walking bank

Running on fumes, running on blank

Gave till it hurt, gave till I broke

Now I'm gasping for air, I can't stay afloat

I love you all but I gotta say

I can't save you if I fade away

So I'm drawing the line tonight

Gonna fix my own life

You're stronger than you know

Time for me to grow

I'm done being the walking bank

Running on fumes, running on blank

Gave till it hurt, gave till I broke

Now I'm gasping for air, I can't stay afloat

I love you all, that won't change

But I'm taking back my life today
