When The Clock Strikes - Head Empty

I used to think
And now I’d rather not
The best escape from
Disillusionment I’ve got

My empty head
Won’t heal a heavy heart
But baby no one cured the blues
By being smart

So I might try to get by
On my charm for a while
Until you don’t like me
But I can take that in stride, I’ll
Zone out with a smile
To keep my head empty

No I’m not here to deal with my problems, babe
Shut up and let me have a good time
It’s free
To have a little escape
As a treat
Let it go
And move in closer to me

I used to think
But sometimes I relapse (oh God not again)
And each time I’m reminded why
I’ve had enough of that
Why enjoy life when I could fill my head
With every horrible thing that might happen instead
Keep track of who’s problematic
To prove that I’m not
Or remember the people
Who ghosted

So I might try to get by on
My charm for a while
Until you don’t like me
(It won’t take long)
But I can
Take it in stride, I’ll
Zone out with a smile
To keep my head empty

No I’m not here to deal with my problems, babe
Shut up and let me have a good time
It’s free
To have a little escape
As a treat
Let it go
And move in closer to me

For all that I’ve learned
I still act like a fool
And I forget all my words
When I’m staring at you
Everyone else is a downer
The world is a drag
But you could give me a reason to be here
For all that I’ve learned
I still act like a fool
And I forget all my words
When I’m staring at you
Everyone else is a downer
The world is a drag
But you could give me a reason to be here

No I’m not here to deal with my problems, babe
Shut up and let me have a good time
It’s free
To have a little escape
As a treat
Let it go
And move in closer to me (and move in closer to me)

No I’m not here to deal with my problems (so I might try to get by on)
(my charm for a while until you don't like me)
It's okay, let it go
It's okay, let it go (I can take it in stride, I'll)
We can have a good time (zone out with a smile to keep my head empty)
