Way Beyond Empty

[Verse 1]

If I could I surely would

Child ease your pain

But if I could no longer

Would you still know my name?

If I couldn't drain the tears

That pour from these eyes

Would you turn your back on me?

Would you wave goodbye?

[Chorus]

Leave me way beyond empty inside

Awaiting my last day to arrive

Way beyond empty inside

Awaitin' my end to arrive

[Verse 2]

I couldn't be the shoulder

Which your head would rest upon

Would you still be waiting, mama?

Or would you be gone?

If I couldn't keep the smile

Forever on your face

Would I still be around?

Or would I be replaced?

[Chorus]

Yeah, way beyond empty inside

Awaiting my last day to arrive, yeah

Way beyond empty inside

Awaitin' my end to arrive, oh, oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Would you promise me

That things, they'd never change?

Could you promise me

That things, they'd stay the same?

If I couldn't clear the clouds

From over your head

Would you keep your word to me?

Amongst all the things you said?

[Chorus]

Or leave me way beyond empty inside

Awaiting my last day to arrive, yeah

Way beyond empty inside, oh, oh-oh

Awaitin' my last day to arrive, oh yeah, child
