Way Beyond Empty lyrics

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?

Or leave me way beyond empty inside

Awaiting my last day to arrive

Way beyond empty inside

Awaiting my end to arrive

If I could 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?

Yeah, way beyond empty inside

Awaiting my last day to arrive, yeah

Way beyond empty inside

Awaiting my end to arrive, oh

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

And would you promise me

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?

Or leave me way beyond empty inside

Awaiting my last day to arrive, yeah

Way beyond empty inside, oh...

Awaiting my end to arrive

Oh yeah, child
