Empty Lyrics by Raheem DeVaughn

Love Behind the Melody

2008

[Intro]
Close your eyes and imagine life with me
Now imagine life without me
Could you do it?
I couldn't imagine life without you
Without you I'd be empty
To lie in the bed alone — empty
Shotgun in the ride — empty
My heart, my heart — empty

[Verse 1]
Ooh, you know you're lovesick
When you answer the phone
And you hope to hear her voice
Ooh, you know you're lovesick
When your shut it down
And make that girl your only choice
Ooh, lovesick when
When you wake up in the morning
(Just to fix her breakfast, yeah)
And I'll tell you how you know, your heart'll tell you so
When you find something good, you just can't let it go, and

[Pre-Chorus]
One might spend a whole lifetime (Whole lifetime)
Tryin' to find the love that I have here with you
(It's the love that I have for you)
My heart won't run out of space for you

[Chorus]
Without you I'd be lovesick and empty
(I'd be empty without ya)
Love, so empty
(Ooh, so empty without ya)
Lovesick and empty
(I'd be empty without ya)
So empty
(Ooh, so empty)

[Verse 2]
Ooh, you know you found the one
When you get on bended knee
And words come out like "Marry me"
Ooh, yes, you know you found the one
When the seconds feel like heaven
In the blink of an eternity
Ooh, you know you found the one
When there's no thought of time
And she's always on your mind
Ooh, you know you found the one
When you wanna be a better man
And man up like you can

[Pre-Chorus]
One might spend a whole lifetime
(See, one might spend a whole lifetime)
Tryin' to find the love that I have here with you
(For the love that I have, baby)
My heart won't run out of space for you
(It's yours, said my heart won't run out of space, oh)

[Chorus]
Without you I'd be lovesick and empty
(I'd be empty without ya)
Love, so empty
(Ooh, so empty without ya)
Lovesick and empty
(I'd be empty without ya)
So empty
(Ooh, so empty)

[Bridge]
I would be empty
Only gonna be alone
Searching the world for what you got at home (Oh yeah)
That would be a tragedy
If you miss out on what's meant to be
(Better keep your thing together)
Only gonna be alone (You'll be alone)
Searching the world for what you got at home
(Searching the whole wide world)
That would be a tragedy
If you miss out on what's meant to be

[Pre-Chorus]
One might spend a whole lifetime
(One might spend a whole lifetime)
Tryin' to find the love that I have here with you
(Love that I have here)
My heart won't run out of space for you
(Said I'd go out of my mind)

[Chorus]
Without you I'd be lovesick and empty
(I'd be empty without ya)
Love, so empty
(Ooh, so empty without ya)
Lovesick and empty
(I'd be empty without ya)
So empty
(Ooh, so empty)

[Pre-Chorus]
(Hey) One might spend a whole lifetime (I know)
Tryin' to find the love that I have here with you
(The love that I have for you)
My heart won't run out of space for you
(Sugar, I know)

[Chorus]
Without you I'd be lovesick and empty
(I'd be empty without ya)
Love, so empty
(Ooh, so empty without ya)
Lovesick and empty
(I'd be empty without ya)
So empty
(Ooh, so empty)

[Outro]
Oh, right after a light rain
Have you ever seen a rainbow that touched the sky?
Where it meets next to a pot of gold
That's what your beauty, your beauty reminds me of
Like a full moon, it hangs next to the heavenly clouds
From which you came
You're my shining star
I'd be lovesick
