[Verse 1 – soft, late-night emptiness]
In the quiet I can hear my heartbeat stumble
Every thought I try to hide begins to rumble
I fill the room with shadows just to feel less hollow
But every step I take, your ghost is there to follow
[Pre-Chorus – rising ache, emotional pull]
I’ve been trying to outrun all the weight
But the silence hits harder when it’s late
And the truth keeps whispering my name
Telling me I’ll never be the same
[Chorus – wide, emotional, raspy lift]
I feel hollow in the quiet
Where your love used to breathe
Echoes living in the spaces
Where your hands used to be
I try to fill the darkness
But it still swallows me
I feel hollow in the quiet
Where you’re gone but never leave
[Verse 2 – warmer tone but still broken]
I’ve been sleeping with the lights on just in case
Trying not to drown in memories of your face
Every promise we made sounds different now
But I still hear them even when I’m breaking down
[Pre-Chorus – same rising tension]
I’ve been trying to outrun all the weight
But the silence hits harder when it’s late
And the truth keeps whispering my name
Telling me I’ll never be the same
[Chorus – emotional release, late-night soul]
I feel hollow in the quiet
Where your love used to breathe
Echoes living in the spaces
Where your hands used to be
I try to fill the darkness
But it still swallows me
I feel hollow in the quiet
Where you’re gone but never leave
[Bridge – stripped, soft, painful]
If healing is coming
It’s moving so slow
I’m trying to hold on
But it’s hard to let go
Your shadow still lingers
In every part of me
And silence reminds me
You’re where I can’t reach
[Final Chorus – strongest emotional hit]
I feel hollow in the quiet
Where your love used to breathe
Echoes living in the spaces
Where your hands used to be
I try to fill the darkness
But it still swallows me
I feel hollow in the quiet
Where you’re gone… but never leave
[Outro – soft fade, whispered ending]
I feel hollow… in the quiet…
