Hollow

There's a hollow behind my ribs

It feels like hurting, and giving in

It makes it hard to breathe sometimes

It makes me think I won't be alright


There's an emptiness in everything that I do

There's a smile and laugh even though I'm feeling blue

There's a brightness around me that's far too bright

And I've got moments, I just want to turn off the light


There's a hollow behind my ribs

It feels like hurting, feels like giving in

It makes it hard to breathe sometimes

It makes me think I won't be alright


There's a hitch in my breath, and I'm burnin up inside

I swallow down the pain and I lie that I'm alright

There's a sharpness, a dull ache, a pain that ain't okay

And I try, and I hide, but it just won't go away


My heart, beats too fast, sometimes, I don't know why

And I get scared, I get nervous, and I try not to cry

But sometimes, my hands just, start to shake

And I just, can't make it, go away


There's a hollow behind my ribs

And it feels like giving in

It makes it hard to breathe sometimes

It makes me think I'm not alright


But I try, and I try, and I tell myself I'm fine

I don't think about it, shove it in the back, of my mind

And I make myself okay

Just for, one more day


Cause there's moments and people I won't want to miss

And I know that I, yeah I can do this

Just make it one more day

Yeah I'll be, I'll be okay


There's a hollow, behind my ribs

But that doesn't mean I'm gonna give in

And yeah, it's hard to breathe sometimes

But I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be alright
