Dying to live, living to die
Ain't no hellos here, nothing but goodbyes
It's like singing a song that cannot be sung
It's like having to end, child,
what's yet to have begun
(Chorus)
Hey, hey, hey now
Where I am at times I just can't tell
Hey, hey, hey, now
I'm lost somewhere Between Heaven and Hell
All that you know and all that you knew
In the end, child, tell me what's it all mean to you
Don't forget just who and where you are --
You can spread your wings son
But don't you spread yourself too far, yeah
Hey, hey, hey now
Where I am at times I just can't tell
Hey, hey, hey, now
I'm lost somewhere Between Heaven and Hell

I look around I see that time ain't changed
Same old faces, Same old names
All the things we thought we knew
You lied to me & I lied to you
(Now) All this time
You never sympathize
All this time
I can't find my way back inside
What you give is what you get
But you drew the line on me baby
Tears falling free but you can't see (child)
I'm just a touch away baby

Chorus
Tell me where am I now (oh-o)
Why, where & how
Show me the road back home (oh-yeah)
Tell me where am I now (oh-o)
Why, where & how
Show me the road back home, back home

The pain blew in like a hurricane
Stranger in this town bearing your name
Trapped in the silence with my memories
It's cutting me deep & its tellin' me

All this time
You never sympathize
All this time
I can't find my way back inside

Going nowhere & I'm headed there fast & I
don't mean maybe
The light is getting low & my touch is growing cold
Oh just hold me baby

Tell me where am I now (oh-o)
Why, where & how
Show me the road back home (oh-yeah)
Tell me where am I now (oh-o)
Why, where & how
Show me the road back home, back home

Guitar Solo

What you give is what you get
But you drew the line on me baby
Tears falling free but you can't see (child)
I'm just a touch away baby

Tell me where am I now (oh-o)
Why, where & how
Show me the road back home (oh-yeah)
Tell me where am I now (oh-o)
Why, where & how
Show me the road back home, back home

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
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 arive (yeah)
Way beyond empty inside
Awaiting my end to arrive



(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 arive (yeah)
Way beyond empty inside
Awaiting my last day to arrive
Oh yeah child!



Más que vacío

Si pudiera calmar tu dolor
Lo haría con seguridad nena
Pero si no pudiera
¿Aun así sabrías mi nombre?

Si no pudiera llorar estas lágrimas
Que salen de mis ojos
¿Me darías la espalda?
¿Me dirías adiós?

¿O dejarme más que vacío por dentro?
Esperando a que mi último día llegue
Más que vacío por dentro
Esperando que llegue mi final

Si pudiera ser el hombro
En el que descansara tu cabeza
¿Seguirías esperando (mamá)
O te irías?
Si no pudiera mantener la sonrisa
Por siempre en tu rostro
¿Te quedarías conmigo?
¿O me reemplazarías?

(Sí)
Más que vacío por dentro
Esperando a que llegue mi último día
Más que vacío por dentro
Esperando mi final

Oh-o
Oh-o-o-o
Oh-o
Oh-o-o-o

¿(Y) Podrías prometerme
Que las cosas nunca cambiarán?
¿Puedes prometerme,
Que será todo igual?

Si pudiera quitar las nubes
Que están sobre tu cabeza
¿Mantendrías tu palabra
Sobre todas las cosas que has dicho?

¿O me dejarías más que vacío por dentro?
Esperando a que llegue mi último día
Más que vacío por dentro
(oh-o-o)
Esperando mi final
¡Oh sí, nena!

We were friends
Yet never all that close
Two different people, lord
I guess, yeah, I suppose
Well I could see by the lines on your face
So much on your mind
Searchin' for someone, anyone, something to treat you kind, oh yeah
(Chorus)
I hope you found what you were lookin' for
'Cause I haven't seen your face around here no more
When did life become a chore?
When was it that you couldn't take it anymore?
With nothin' above you and nothin' below
Couldn't cure the need for somewhere else to go
I just hope ya found what it was,
what it was you were lookin' for
Sweep all your fears
Beneath the rug there on the floor
Shed a new skin
No longer insecure
You're livin' harder, yeah
Harder than you know
Tell me - how fast can ya burn?
And how far can ya go?
I hope you found what you were lookin' for
'Cause I haven't seen your face around here no more
When did life become a chore?
When was it that you couldn't take it anymore?
With nothin' above you and nothin' below
Couldn't cure the need for somewhere else to go
I just hope ya found what it was,
what it was you were lookin' for

It'll leave you with nothin' to say
Lost without a way
Ain't it funny child
Love sometimes leaves you
As dead as yesterday
Hoping to hold a handful of sunshine
Like a child told it cannot play
Never ever figured Lord love would leave me feeling
As dead as yesterday

Lord could you help me find some shelter?
Lord could you help me find some shelter?

It'll leave you feeling hollow & helpless
And there is where you'll stay
Ain't it funny child love sometimes leaves you
As dead as yesterday

Color my world all black & blue
The hell you dish out
Comes back three-fold to you
Inside your riddled rotten core
I hope you get what you deserve
Worse, and even more
even more, even more
(Chorus)
How could you do the things you do?
You make Satan look like Christ, I swear its true
How could you do the things you do?
How could you do, the things you do?
The Rolling Stones once sang a tune
Singing words of sympathy
Yet none were sung for you
If the lord of darkness seen you comin' his way
He'd get on his knees and look to Jesus
and start to pray

Sailing across my ocean, I'm sailing across my sea
I fill it up with hope, Lord, I drown in empty misery
Sailin' across my heaven, I'm sailing across my star
Until I find the voice I've been hearing in my head
Forever couldn't be too far, Forever couldn't be too far, yeah
Oh it couldn't be to far, Oh it couldn't be to far
The cold wind blows like a leaf on a tree
I can feel myself fallin, lord
I need your guiding hand to catch me
When you hear yourself this song
I hope it brings yourself a smile
The times we had we thought would last forever
But forever only lasts a little while
Forever only lasts a little while, yeah
Oh, just a little while
Oh, just a little while
Loneliness, my friend
I think about you every day, yeah
As I sail into, into the light, oh yeah
Lord, a million miles away, oh yeah
A million miles away
Loneliness, my friend
I think about you every day, yeah
As I sail, sail, Lord, into the light, oh yeah
Lord, a million miles away, oh yeah
A million miles away
A million miles away
