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
