Hollow

[Matt]

Here's a song I've written recently. I'm going through a rough time.

Hollow

Verse1:
I always thought you were my friend,
But it turns out you're more than that.
I would make that clear to you,
If I could just turn the clock back.
Why couldn't I just tell you?
I only have myself to blame.
Now it haunts me everytime,
Everytime I say your name!

Chorus1:
You left me empty!
Where has my core gone?
You left me empty!
I've been hollow for so long!
LONG!(x3)
I'VE BEEN EMPTY FOR SO LONG!
LONG!(x3)
I'VE BEEN EMPTY FOR SO - long.

Verse2:
Every second I'm with you,
I feel a bit more whole.
Don't you realise I love you?
Don't you care or don't you know?
I have to keep it locked inside,
My love for you ain't on show.
But I hollow out everytime,
Everytime I see you go!

Chorus2:
You leave me empty!
Where has my core gone?
You leave me empty!
I've been hollow for so long!
LONG!(x3)
I'VE BEEN EMPTY FOR SO LONG!
LONG!(x3)
I'VE BEEN EMPTY FOR SO - long.

Verse3:
Hearing about him slowly kills me!
Seeing you with him slowly kills me!
Knowing you're with him slowly kills me!
Living without you slowly kills me!!!
Jealousy floods my mind,
And only envy replaces time gone by.
Is loving you really such a crime?
I just wish that you were...
Mine.

[Brittney L]

Glad you were able to write about this experience, Matt. Painful, as it seems.

Hearing about him slowly kills me!
Seeing you with him slowly kills me!
Knowing you're with him slowly kills me!
Living without you slowly kills me!!!
Jealousy floods my mind,
And only envy replaces time gone by.
Is loving you really such a crime?
I just wish that you were...
Mine.

I can hear the sorrow in your words. You have a certain longing here.
Nearly everyone here can empathize with the idea and feeling you are talking about, I'm sure. The situation is very personal to you, I know.

You've written this one well.

[Matt]

Thank you... Brittney

Matt this is fantastic! I have gone through this recently and it hurts like hell! Seeing that person with someone else feels like your heart is being ripped apart.

An excellent song!

i like it too, nice solid work. Second verse was my favorite.

[Matt]

Thanx darkfaze...

Thanks a lot jess... you're right too, it does hurt like hell.

Matt, this is very raw emotional powerful stuff. I can definately relate to this. I also appreciated the "hollow" lines...I recently used that in a new song of mine. Bien- Lyly

I'm sorry to read of your pain. You can tell that you are a really good songwriter by the layout. Definetly has it's own rhythm. I can relate - it's sometimes hard to tell someone how you feel about them.

[Matt]

Thank you everyone! This is probably my favourite song I've written. I just so you know I recently told her how I feel and it's got considerably better. We're still not together because she's in a long-term relationship and is happy but she feels the same way. Not perfect... but it's progress.

i love this, i know exactly where your coming from. It should be easy telling someone how you feel about them but it isn't. I have sat back and watched that person be with someone else, it sucks.

[Matt]

Thanks Insanity.
