Burning on Empty Lyrics by Fialta

Shadow of a Drought

2016

[Verse 1]
Our second well had run dry
But we showered all through the night
Where’d you go, where’d you go?
Follow me, follow me

[Chorus]
Every time you fall you break a little bit more away from me
We’re burning on empty
Though I try, the battle cries are echoing

[Verse 2]
The glass broke hard by your side
‘Cause our hands were caught in the tide
Where’d you go, where’d you go?
Follow me, follow me

[Chorus]
Every time you fall you break a little bit more away from me
We’re burning on empty
Though I try, the battle cries are echoing
But I know why:
‘Cause every time you fall you break a little bit more away from me

[Bridge]
I’m waiting on you tonight — waiting on you to try
I’m waiting on you tonight (everybody, everybody)
I’m waiting on you tonight — waiting on you to try
I’m waiting on you tonight (everybody, everybody)
Everybody, everybody

[Pre-Chorus]
Even though you’re lying now
The truth on your face is killing me

[Chorus]
‘Cause every time you fall you break a little bit more away from me
We’re burning on empty
Though I try, the battle cries are echoing
But I know why:
‘Cause every time you fall you break a little bit more away from me
