Hollow
Nick Black Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Isn't it right?
Isn't it great?
Pick up the pieces together again
Don't forget
Have no regrets
Only leaves you hollow

Wasn't it fright?
Wasn't it fear?
I think that I thought you were gone but you're here
Whatever I said
Whatever I did
Only left me hollow

You're wasting time but so am I
The pictures on the wall
Wherever you go,
You and I both know
That I will follow

Wasn't it twice?
Wasn't it shame?
You thought it was you but I'll take all the blame
Only yesterday
Was it just today?
Will it be tomorrow?

Didn't it shine?
Wouldn't it fade?
Was it a difference that you and I made?
If you forget
Have no regrets
Only leaves you hollow

You're wasting time but so am I
The pictures on the wall
Wherever you go
You and i both know
That I will follow

You're tasting life and so am I
We stumble and we fall
Wherever you go




You and I both know
You leave me hollow
