Empty hole and a broken heart

Verse 1)

In a dim-lit bar, where the shadows play,

I sing my songs, the same old way.

With a heavy heart, and a glass in my hand,

I've been driftin' through life, a broken man.

(Chorus)

There's an empty hole, and a broken heart,

Torn apart, right from the start.

I've been chasin' dreams, and playin' my part,

But I'm leavin' this world, with this empty hole and a broken heart.

(Verse 2)

I've seen love's light, and I've seen it fade,

In the darkest corners, where the memories are made.

Now the highway stretches, dark and long,

And I'm singin' my last sad, lonesome song.

(Chorus)

There's an empty hole, and a broken heart,

Torn apart, right from the start.

I've been chasin' dreams, and playin' my part,

But I'm leavin' this world, with this empty hole and a broken heart.

(Bridge)

I've loved and I've lost, I've felt the pain,

I've carried my burdens, I've walked through the rain.

Now I'll rest my soul, beneath the stars above,

In the arms of the angels, in the arms of love.

(Verse 3)

As the curtain falls on this tired stage,

I'll leave this world, turn the final page.

With my guitar by my side, and the crowd's applause,

I'll find my peace, in the great unknown's cause.

(Chorus)

There's an empty hole, and a broken heart,

Torn apart, right from the start.

I've been chasin' dreams, and playin' my part,

But I'm leavin' this world, with this empty hole and a broken heart.

(Outro)

So remember me kindly, for the songs I've sung,

For the battles I've fought, and the wars I've won.

In the end, I'll find a brand new start,

Beyond this world, with this empty hole and a mended heart.
