Hollow – Andy Brown

It started with a couple of blue lines
In the bathroom in the summertime
And the first five minutes
We already pictured
Your whole life in a blink of an eye
You were gonna look like her
But talk like me
Probably give us hell
When you were sixteen
We were tying dreams
In ribbons and bones
Now you’re someone
That we’ll never know

We only got twelve weeks
On that Saturday
And a few heartbeats
And you were torn away

We don’t talk about it
We just tip toe around it
But you can’t grieve the unspoken
You can’t fix what’s been broken
I think the hardest part is
It was gone before it started
The truth is hard to swallow
She’s hollow
Hollow
Hollow

Had to play a show in Liverpool
It was the last thing I wanted to do
Tryna sing songs
About love to strangers
When they don’t know
What I’m going through
In a three xxx house outside of London
You were too far gone all of a sudden
You were hundred of pages
Of a story untold
But forever written on our souls

We don’t talk about it
We just tip toe around it
But you can’t grieve the unspoken
You can’t fix what’s been broken
I think the hardest part is
It was gone before it started
The truth is hard to swallow
She’s hollow
Hollow
Hollow

We only got twelve weeks
On that Saturday
And a few heartbeats
And you were torn away

We don’t talk about it
We just tip toe around it
But you can’t grieve the unspoken
You can’t fix what’s been broken
I think the hardest part is
It was gone before it started
The truth is hard to swallow
She’s hollow
Hollow
