Empty Bed, Empty Heart Lyrics

How cold love can be
I've nothing more to loose
I'm trapped inside and dying
I don't sleep without you
Empty bed-empty heart
And I'll wait for you
Years and years and years
How strange love can be
It bends and tears and screams
I'm lonely here inside my (head?)
I don't live without you
There's nothing I can do
I'm waiting always waiting
I'm waiting always and old
I'll leave you now
Alone forever
You're now gone
You're now gone forever

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song just screams with the lonliness and sense of alienation that dominated Numans' music (and life). You can't help but feel sad right along with him.
