Tommy E Dowd - Empty Space Lyrics

I've always had an empty space somewhere deep
Inside
I never-could have fill it up, no matter how hard I tried
I tried to fill in with money, I even tried some fame
I bought new cars and a big new houses, but nothing ever seems to change

Lot's of sex didn't do it, now I'm old enough to know
It wore me down and confused me, leaving me an empty soul
There's times I don't know what to do, to fill this
Emptiness
Trying drugs and alcohol just left me a bigger mess

So I'll try to keep letting go, of the dream I beat to death
Hoping that it will all come true, but it hasn't
Happened yet
A labor of love might be torment, feeling sorry
With regretA trying to fill this empty space
Chasing dreams I cannot catch

For many years I've hid behind
A sadness deep inside
I've blamed it on my father's death
And feelings I tried to hide
