Hollow

Behind illusion
They walk among us freely
If no conclusion
Their souls will not rest easy

I figured nothing could be done, so I ran
Then she appeared where my story began

Need a little time to wrap my mind
Around the truth and what's to follow
Never really understood what evil could do
Where the heart was now is hollow

I will not let anyone be taken from me
I won't fall

You can't bury a life the same
(When a heart is so hollow)
You can't truly erase the pain
(When a heart is so hollow)
Gotta stay focused, no regrets
Can't do this alone, I confess
You can't bury a life the same
(When a heart is so hollow)

They took her away
The rain was gently falling
Tears running down my face
Something inside was calling

Need a little time to wrap my mind
Around the truth and what's to follow
Tell me I need ten, I'll do it in five
Can't let the waters I'm in get shallow

I will not let anyone be taken from me
I won't fall

You can't bury a life the same
(When a heart is so hollow)
You can't truly erase the pain
(When a heart is so hollow)
Gotta stay focused, no regrets
Can't do this alone, I confess
You can't bury a life the same
(When a heart is so hollow)

Now breathe and don't forget
It's a choice to regret
Gotta stay focused, no regrets
Can't do this alone, I confess
It's a choice to regret

You can't bury a life the same
(When a heart is so hollow)
You can't truly erase the pain
(When a heart is so hollow)
Gotta stay focused, no regrets
Can't do this alone, I confess
You can't bury a life the same
(When a heart is so hollow)
