**"The Hollow Heart"**
*(Verse 1)*
I walk alone through empty streets,
The shadows whisper my defeat.
A thousand faces pass me by,
Yet none can hear my silent cry.
I’ve searched for someone who’d understand,
But love just slips right through my hand.
*(Pre-Chorus)*
The stars don’t shine, they just burn out,
A mirror reflects my endless doubt.
I’m chasing ghosts in the dark,
Forever missing that elusive spark.
*(Chorus)*
I’m a soul lost in the tide,
Searching for a place to hide.
The world keeps spinning, but I stay still,
A broken heart that time can’t heal.
Love’s a dream I’ll never know,
A seed that’s cursed, it’ll never grow.
*(Verse 2)*
I’ve built my walls so high, so tall,
Afraid to rise, too scared to fall.
I’ve given pieces of my heart,
But they just tear it all apart.
The echoes of my lonely plea,
Are swallowed by an endless sea.
*(Pre-Chorus)*
The clock keeps ticking, the years go by,
I’m left with nothing but a sigh.
The love I crave feels out of reach,
A distant shore I’ll never breach.
*(Chorus)*
I’m a soul lost in the tide,
Searching for a place to hide.
The world keeps spinning, but I stay still,
A broken heart that time can’t heal.
Love’s a dream I’ll never know,
A seed that’s cursed, it’ll never grow.
*(Bridge)*
I’ve traced the lines of every scar,
Each one a reminder of who we are.
We’re ships that pass in the night,
Never destined to ignite.
The universe is cold and vast,
And I’m a shadow from the past.
*(Chorus)*
I’m a soul lost in the tide,
Searching for a place to hide.
The world keeps spinning, but I stay still,
A broken heart that time can’t heal.
Love’s a dream I’ll never know,
A seed that’s cursed, it’ll never grow.
*(Outro)*
So I’ll wander through this empty haze,
A prisoner of my lonely days.
The hollow heart inside my chest,
Forever longing, forever oppressed.
Love was never meant for me,
I’ll fade into obscurity.
