brakes wont work please help

My Breaks go to the floor when you pump them while the car is on but they get tight when you pump them while the car is off. I only have breaks when the car is off. Can anyone please help.

Do you mean the pedal gets hard(er) with the engine off, or they actually don't work with the engine running but do with it off?
