Heartthrob is a a post break-up album; one of the many reasons why I love it - since I can relate to it a lot.
"I run Empty" is one of the most underrated ballads we can find in Heartthrob - my interpration is that Sara/Tegan is thinking about that person now that all is gone.
They know they messed it up.. yet, they don't think they "deserve" whatever the other person did to them; they shouldn't have lost the relationship, or whatever.
This song represents that mental state you enter when you are in your room regreting everything you have done now that the relationship is over. Missing that one special person, wishing to go back and fix everything. and "I run Empty", I think it means to cry until you kill the feeling that day; cry until you fall asleep... cry until you run empty.
not rocket science. This is heartbreaking science.
