Lyrics

Empty Bed

I was eight years old with a furry animal

Had to say goodbye to the fuzzy little guy, oh no

Asked my neighbours "Would you please take care of him for me?" Don't let him know I'm goin' Take care of him for me Take care of him for me

I was thirteen years old with a heart made of gold, oh-oh

Tried to make some friends Almost killed myself instead, oh no

They said the meds will take care of things for me I don't think they are working Take care of things for me Take care of things for me

Today I felt scared Thinking 'bout your empty bed, oh-oh

But I know you'll be fine Yeah, you've got to stay alive, oh-oh Just don't forget to take care of you for me I've been where you are goin' Take care of you for me Take care of you for me
