[Verse 1]
Tryna make it make sense
I just stare at the wall, feeling nothing at all
And you said it was all in my head
Told myself it was you, never wanted the truth
[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to, tried to give you space, but I was never able
Oh, you told me, told me you could love me
That's what it made painful
[Chorus]
I never felt so hollow and heavy at the same time
I know these tears won’t follow, this lonely heart's running dry
And what hurts the most is feeling so unwanted
After all you said, after all you promised
I feel so hollow and heavy at thе same time
[Verse 2]
I try to talk to the stars
Ask thеm if they know what happened to you and I
I've been falling apart and you still don’t care
After all we shared
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to, tried to give you space, but I was never able
Oh, you told me, told me you could love me
That's what it made painful
[Chorus]
I never felt so hollow and heavy at the same time
I know these tears won't follow, this lonely heart's running dry
And what hurts the most is feeling so unwanted
After all you said, after all you promised
I feel so hollow and heavy at the same time
[Bridge]
You don't know what this feels like
No
You don't know what this feels like
No
[Chorus]
I never felt so hollow and heavy at the same time
I know these tears won't follow, this lonely heart's running dry
And what hurts the most is feeling so unworthy
After how you left, after how you hurt me
I feel so hollow and heavy at the same time
[Outro]
You don’t know what this feels like
Tom-king-pop released Hollow on Fri Jul 30 2021.
Ollie and I wrote this song together from the ground-up – both of us bringing together lyrics and melody with Ollie on the piano. It’s about the sad part of a breakup and that feeling of utter emptiness you get after all the anger has gone. It’s a sad one… you might want a tissue.
