Way Beyond Empty

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 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? (Yeah) Way beyond empty inside Awaiting my last day to arrive (Yeah) Way beyond empty inside Awaiting my end to arrive Oh-o Oh-o-o-o Oh-o Oh-o-o-o (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-o-o) Awaiting my last day to arrive Oh yeah, child
