Baby, I’ll admit, I made a mistake
Don’t know what I was thinking, what I had was so great
Charged it to my mind but not to my heart
I know it ain’t fair, sometimes I want it all
Go ‘head and cuss me out, girl, I understand
I’ma stay right here and take it like a man
I really need you back, babe, what I gotta do?
Let me be honest and straight up tell the truth
I haven’t been the same since I left you
I can’t enjoy myself, even if I tried to
I’m not happy, it ain’t a laughing matter
And you don’t understand
My heart is hollow
I didn’t know I’d end up like this
I said I didn’t want it, now I miss you
My heart is hollow
And I don’t care if the neighbors hear me loud
Baby, I’ll scream it out
Don’t know what I was thinking ’bout
Hollow
I thought I wanted to spread my wings
But I’m empty tryna do my things out in these streets
I wanna fly back, can I come back home?
Without your love, it’s hollow
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Girl
I will never be the same no more
Promise I can do you better, sincerely yours
And them times I didn’t even try
And even when I told them lies, you stayed wonderful, girl
Can I least just get the chance to show you I
That I’m not a little boy, I won’t make you cry
And it means now, all we need is time
And we can get back to the way things were
I haven’t been the same since I left you
I can’t enjoy myself, even if I tried to
I’m not happy (Happy), it ain’t a laughing matter
And you don’t understand
My heart is hollow
I didn’t know I’d end up like this
I said I didn’t want it, now I miss you
My heart is hollow
And I don’t care if the neighbors hear me loud
Baby, I’ll scream it out
Don’t know what I was thinking ’bout
Hollow
I thought I wanted to spread my wings
But I’m empty tryna do my things out in these streets
I wanna fly back, can I come back home?
Without your love, it’s hollow
Only so much I can take, this love is breaking down
Come rescue me, I need your arms gently wrapped around
Say you need me and don’t let go, whoa
And just to put it simply, girl, my heart is empty
(Hallow) My heart is hollow
I didn’t know I’d end up like this
I said I didn’t want it, now I miss you
My heart is hollow
And I don’t care if the neighbors hear me loud (I don’t care)
Baby, I’ll scream it out (Scream it out)
Don’t know what I was thinking ’bout
Hollow
I thought I wanted to spread my wings (Yeah)
But I’m empty tryna do my things out in these streets (Oh, I’m so empty)
I wanna fly back, can I come back home?
Without your love, it’s hollow
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Girl
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Girl
