Black Hole Where My Heart Used to Be by ElCeviche - Zona

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You weren't supposed to leave me here alone

I kissed you goodbye for just a day or two

Now you've gone to Heaven without me

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do

I do it for the children every day

Paste on a smile I cannot even feel

Tell them everything will work out somehow

Though nothing around me seems real

[Chorus]

There's a black hole where my heart used to be

Pulling all the feeling from everything I see

Love and laughter, hope and pain

Disappear before they reach me again

I was angry at God for taking you away

But even that got swallowed eventually

There's a black hole where my heart used to be

And it's taking pieces of me

[Verse 2]

I love our kids and I'm holding on tight

Trying not to let them slip away

But even that feels distant sometimes

Like a fading photograph turning gray

You were God's gift, the best thing I knew

The one who gave my life a meaning beyond me

Before you came my world was small and quiet

Then you turned it into something beautiful to see

[Chorus]

There's a black hole where my heart used to be

Pulling all the feeling from everything I see

Love and laughter, hope and pain

Disappear before they reach me again

I was angry at God for taking you away

But even that got swallowed eventually

There's a black hole where my heart used to be

And it's taking pieces of me

[Bridge]

Our plans were made for two, not one

We dreamed together, side by side

Now every road looks unfamiliar

And I don't know how to make this ride

You always knew what the children needed

You made the hard days easier somehow

I wish that I could ask you one more question

I wish you could help me now

I can't even feel despair these days

The darkness feeds on that as well

And I know God is standing near me

Though I cannot feel Him like I felt you

If you were here you'd take my hand

And tell me where my strength begins

You'd say, "Give it all to Jesus"

And trust Him with what you can't mend

[Final Chorus]

There's a black hole where my heart used to be

But maybe grace can reach where I can't see

Maybe love is stronger than this pain

Maybe one day I'll feel alive again

I still miss you with every breath I take

And some wounds never fully heal

But you trusted God when you couldn't see

So I'll try to trust Him too

There's a black hole where my heart used to be

But I'm placing it in His hands

And though I cannot feel Him yet

I'm doing the best I can
