[Intro – gentle acoustic picking]
[Soft hum]
Mmm… been runnin’ too long…

[Verse 1]
Been runnin’ on fumes for far too long,
Chasin’ every fire ‘til the light was gone.
Hands keep workin’, heart’s near broke,
Can’t keep givin’ when you’re out of hope.

[Chorus]
You can’t pour from an empty cup,
Can’t give more when you’ve given enough.
Fill your soul, let the light back in,
Rest these bones, start again.
‘Cause you can’t pour from an empty cup.

[Verse 2]
Ain’t no shame in layin’ down the load,
Let the river wash your weary soul.
Even the strong need time to heal,
To find that fire the dark can steal.

[Bridge – soft & spoken/sung]
Take a breath, let the world wait,
Tomorrow’s still there at the gate.
Love yourself like you love your kin,
You can’t help ‘em ‘til you’ve helped within.

[Final Chorus – warm harmonies]
You can’t pour from an empty cup,
Can’t lift ‘em high when you’re stuck in the dust.
Fill your soul, let the light back in,
Rest these bones, start again.
‘Cause you can’t pour… from an empty cup.
