Hole in My Heart
Christian Caldeira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And tell me what you're thinking
Open up wide and put away your pride
'Cause without you, I've been sinking
What would it take to convince you to stay?
Won't you listen to my heart's song?
It's hard to describe what I'm feeling inside
There's a hole in my heart where this love used to be
And I've been trying to fill it up
Oh, but nothing compares to the love that we shared
So, darling, won't you come back, come back to me, yeah?
Must planets align before you'll give me time
To explain the situation?
My days have no light without you shining bright
And I'm losing concentration
So, don't shut me out 'til you've heard what I'm about
I'm a-give it to you damn straight
We could pack up and go, leaving all that we know
And start over with a clean slate, yeah
'Cause there's a hole in my heart where this love used to be
And I've been trying to fill it up
Oh, but nothing compares to the love that we shared
So, darling, won't you come back, come back to me, come back to me?
We're losing time with every
Single step that we take
In this wrong direction
Don't you know what we have?
I can't believe it's all an act
Ooh, yeah
'Cause there's a hole in my heart where this love used to be
And I've been trying to fill it up
Oh, but nothing compares to the love that we shared
So, darling, won't you come back, yeah?
'Cause there's a hole in my heart where this love used to be
And I've been trying to fill it up
Oh, but nothing compares to the love that we shared
So, darling, won't you come back, come back to me, come back to me, yeah?
Come back to me
Come back to me, yeah, oh
