Running on Empty Lyrics by Hardline

Human Nature

2016

[Verse 1]
Still I see a reason to believe
Just trust in me and you'll be free
I'll be the shelter from the storm
Come here, somebody to keep you warm

[Pre-Chorus]
Pray for sunshine after the rain
Don't cry for love

[Chorus]
I keep on standing with my back against the wall
I'm still running on empty
I am the one to save you right before the fall
I'm still running on empty, running on empty

[Verse 2]
Still you see a reason to give up
Why don't you fight instead of crying?
You'll be your worst enemy
Come here, I'll show you the way out

[Pre-Chorus]
Pray for sunshine after the rain
Don't cry for love

[Chorus]
I keep on standing with my back against the wall
I'm still running on empty
I am the one to save you right before the fall
I'm still running on empty, running on empty

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I keep on standing with my back against the wall
I'm still running on empty
I am the one to save you right before the fall
I'm still running on empty, running on empty

[Instrumental Outro]
