[Verse 1]
I kept running, staring straight ahead without looking back
As if I was drawn to this place, simply by destiny
Checkmarks on my list, but my chest stays flat
Spotlights blur while your name echoes through the city
I wake to quiet rooms and coffee gone cold on the tray
A sweater on the chair — small proof you slipped away
[Pre-Chorus]
Someone, please fill my thoughts, quench this thirsty night
I keep trying, climbing, but there's no answer in sight
No words are enough, I'm calling out, please don't let go
I can't take it no more — can't live half of a glow
[Chorus]
Even if I embrace everything and run, why do I feel hollow?
No matter where I am, I end up feeling lonely, I'm alone
Your voice fills this hollow, a whisper soft and low
Even if I force myself to feel full, I'm so... hollow
Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (oh na na na na)
Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (ah)
Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (oh na na na na)
Even if I force myself to feel whole, I'm so hollow
[Verse 2]
My tone's gone flat instead of bright, the highs don't land the same
I built up my own ladder, gave the world a polished name
I learned to shine for others while you were out of sight
The hall of lights feels distant when your shadow's not in mine
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Someone, pour a signal into my silence, break this cold refrain
I reach for warmth but only echoes answer back my name
Words start to tremble — still I beg you, don't leave me with ache
I'm on the edge; I need a reason now that I can take
[Chorus]
Even if I embrace everything and run, why do I feel hollow?
No matter where I am, I end up feeling lonely, I'm alone
Your voice fills this hollow, traces where your fingerprints go
Even if I fake the smile and laugh, I'm still so hollow
Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (oh na na na na)
Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (ah)
Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (oh na na na na)
Even when the lights are bright, I'm so hollow
[Bridge]
The moon hides in the clouds, a night without its light
A heart without a name, passing through the skyline
I'm trapped in a maze of mirrors, searching for the door
If you're the echo, be the hand that fits into my core
If you're the echo, be the warmth that answers when I'm cold
If you're the echo, let your love stay steady, let it hold
[Chorus - Final / Choice]
Even if I embrace everything and run, I'd rather not be hollow
I'd rather feel the ache of real than lie alone in gold
If you answer, fill my hollow — don't let what we had go
If you come back, I'll choose the part of you I used to know
Hollow no more, hollow no more, oh (oh na na na na)
Hollow no more, hollow no more, oh (ah)
Hollow no more, hollow no more, oh (oh na na na na)
If you answer, fill my hollow — don't let it go
[Outro / Ad-libs]
It's just an echo — or maybe it's you
I can hear it all night, the sound of my life, it's true
Stay... stay... don't leave me hollow (ooh)
Hold... hold... don't let me go (na na na)
Your voice — fill my hollow, don't let it fade
