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
