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 arive
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
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?

Way beyond empty inside
Awaiting my last day to arive
Way beyond empty inside
Awaiting my end to arrive

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 arive
Way beyond empty inside

Awaiting my end to arrive
Oh yeah child

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 arive 
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
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?

Way beyond empty inside 
Awaiting my last day to arive
Way beyond empty inside 
Awaiting my end to arrive

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 arive 
Way beyond empty inside

Awaiting my end to arrive 
Oh yeah child

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.
