Hollow

I tell one how I feel,                
        But no matter how I implied.         
It’s all just the same,         
        Because I’m empty inside.         
       
Before when I felt,          
        I’d set my things aside.         
Now I don’t feel,         
        Because I’m empty inside.         
       
I tell her I love her,          
        But feel that I've lied.         
Just because my heart,          
        Feels empty inside.         
     
I used to have someone,         
        To stand by my side.         
Now I don’t care,         
        Because I’m empty inside.         
       
We were great together,          
        Then our worlds collide.         
All of this makes me feel,         
        That I’m empty inside.         
       
People try to talk to me,          
        And they feel denied.         
 I give no response,                                                                                                                               Because I’m empty inside.          
     
I show no emotions,           
        And everyone else cried.         
I have no feelings,          
        Because I'm empty inside.         
       
I used to give in,          
        And swallow my pride.         
Not anymore,          
        Because I'm empty inside.         
       
At once I was open,          
        My perspective was wide.         
Now I can’t feel it,         
        Because I’m empty inside.         
       
I don't care to even,           
        Show that I've tried.         
Not even a little,          
        Because I'm empty inside.         
       
Maybe it’s better,          
        If I run away and hide.         
Then nobody will see me,          
        While I’m empty inside.         
       
I used to know what I want,          
        Now I can’t decide.         
All because I only feel,         
        That I’m empty inside.         
       
They all think I look normal,           
        On the outside.         
But nobody knows,          
        That I’m empty inside.         
       
Now I just feel,           
        That I've went and died.         
All of this because I feel,          
        That I’m empty inside.
