Hollow

*********************************
I thought I was invincible
But I found I can wound
I thought I could conquer the world
But it’s left unruled
I thought I had everything I ever needed
But it’s run away
It’s run a-----way

I[‘m left standing here
A different man
I’ve been striped of everything
The way I am
I’ve got nothing else left
To care for in this world
I’ve got all this love
And no one to give---- it---- to----

I feel hollow inside
Like an empty vase
Which once held beauty
Now thrown aside
It’s the way I feel
There’s no reason to hide

I’d have given you everything
You had but to ask
I’d have roped you the moon
Or captured the stars
There’s nothing I wouldn’t have done
Just to see your smile

But
It’s the way I feel
All hollow inside
It’s the way I feel
Like an empty vase
It’s the way I feel
Being tossed away
There’s no reason to hide
It’s the way I feel inside

We’ve been together so long
And now it’s come to an end
I’ll never be the same
Not ever again

Cuz
Its the way I feel
All hollow inside
It’s the way I feel
Like an empty vase
It’s the way I feel
Being tossed aside
There’s no reason to hide
I feel hollow inside.
