RUNNING ON EMPTY Lyrics

Why I ain't a first-class citizen

Why I always gotta sit back in coach

Is it cause I'm a pushover

Or do y'all think I'm a go

All the shit I've done for ya

It's all just to make you float

But I can't teach you how to fly

That takes your own guts, not a boat

Girl it's time to start living

Fuck death even though the clock stay tickin'

Stay giving, staying livin' man

I'ma catch my own breath

Life unforgiving, I'ma go-on, that's my God-send

That's my God-send, that's my God-send

Girl, I need some fucking love, shit, that's like my God-send

Can't even leave up to my lost friends

That's where this story ends

I've been running on empty for the past five years

And the times before that I wasn't running at all

Man, I pulled through twenty times, fighting back tears

Every time, no one knows that I'm a fighter at all

I've been running on empty for the past five years

And the times before that I wasn't running at all

Man, I pulled through twenty times, fighting back tears

Every time, no one knows that I'm a fighter at all

But it's only the beginning

Stop playing life like it's a scrimmage

Sometimes it's hard to stay grinning

Sometimes it's hard to stay living

Going too fast gotta slow down

Take it in, take it all now

Don't be shy, just a little potion

Just be calm, going through the motions

It was never about the drugs, it was never about the fun

It was always about the love, not a little bit

Look at us, future sounds, holy shit, we killing it

Man, I'm on my path, out of the sunken place, my sentiment

But it only gets harder for me

And I don't know where to go now

I could be finally free

But I don't want to go up

I've been running on empty for the past five years

And the times before that I wasn't running at all

Man, I pulled through twenty times, fighting back tears

Every time, no one knows that I'm a fighter at all

I've been running on empty for the past five years

And the times before that I wasn't running at all

Man, I pulled through twenty times, fighting back tears

Every time, no one knows that I'm a fighter at all

I've been running on empty for the past five years

And the times before that I wasn't running at all

Man, I pulled through twenty times, fighting back tears

Every time, no one knows that I'm a fighter at all

I've been running on empty for the past five years

And the times before that I wasn't running at all

Man, I pull through twenty times, fighting back tears

Every time, no one knows that I'm a fighter at all

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
