I think the chorus of this song is really about seizing the day and making the most of it. She starts out saying "Don't waste it /It's only here for today", and also says "Get wasted on love, get wasted on life, get wasted on anything that's right", which is about enjoying everything you can in the moment.
It then goes on to say
"Don't mess with my heart
Don't mess with my mind
Won't let you get us down this time.
You'll like what you see and take it from me
You'll learn to see it over time."
Which I interpret as being about someone the singer is interested in. She's asking the person to see the good things about the relationship and not mess with her. Also, she's saying the other person will like what they see (as in, like her) over time.
I think the last part about being empty and "If you don't give/You're never going to get" is about not getting anything out of the relationship. She's encouraging the other person to put more into it.
