Black Hole Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now and then
Your name comes up in conversation with my friends
I hate how much I feel it right there in my chest
I hate how much I feel it, yeah
Like, how are you?
It seems like things are going really well for you
I wish that I could say the same about me too
I wish that I could say the same
[Pre-Chorus]
And boy, you know I've tried to pray
I've bruised my knees
I've tried to bring you back to me
I've tried my best to find some kind of peace
Don't you see?
[Chorus]
There's a big black hole where my heart used to be
And I tried my best to fill it up with things I don't need
It don't work like that, no, it's not easy
To fill this gap that you left in me
There's a big black hole where my heart used to be
And I wish that you would realise I'm all that you need
It don't work like that, no, it's not easy
To fill this gap that you left in me
[Verse 2]
Without a trace
You disappeared and took some of me with you, babe
Like the way I used to laugh until my belly ache
Well, that's all gone away now, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
And boy, you know I've tried to pray
I've bruised my knees
I've tried to bring you back to me
I've tried my best to find some kind of peace
Don't you see?
[Chorus]
There's a big black hole where my heart used to be
And I tried my best to fill it up with things I don't need
It don't work like that, no, it's not easy
To fill this gap that you left in me
There's a big black hole where my heart used to be
And I wish that you would realise I'm all that you need
It don't work like that, no, it's not easy
To fill this gap that you left in me (That you left in me)
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh, oh (There's such a big black hole)
Oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh, that you left in me)
Oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh-ooh)
[Chorus]
There's a big black hole where my heart used to be
And I tried my best to fill it up with things I don't need
It don't work like that, no, it's not easy
To fill this gap that you left in me (Oh, that you left in me)
There's a big black hole where my heart used to be (Oh, yeah, you left in me, yeah)
And I wish that you would realise I'm all that you need (No)
It don't work like that, no, it's not easy (Oh no, it's not easy)
To fill this gap that you left in me (Yeah, that you left in me)

Black Hole was produced by LOSTBOY.
When did Griff release Black Hole?
Griff released Black Hole on Mon Jan 18 2021.
What did Griff say about "Black Hole"?
I actually love how melodramatic it is, as there’s obviously not ‘a big black hole where my heart used to be’. But the melodrama of the lyrics – over a really interesting beat – keeps the song fun, and not too serious.

What have the artists said about the song?
This was written in my last session before COVID happened. I was writing with [UK songwriter] Lostboy and [producer] SIBA. We landed on there being this big black hole. On one side, there’s a real honesty and ruthlessness about talking about the emptiness we can all feel. But then the production bri...
