Hollow Rooms

Verse

You used to see me — now I fade,

A shadow built from what you made.

Each word you throw cuts clean and deep,

And still, I lie too tired to weep.

Verse

You call me stupid, I just smile,

Pretend your hate’s been gone a while.

You strip me down with every sigh,

Till even I believe the lie.

Pre-chorus

Your silence screams, it fills the space,

Where once I found your soft embrace.

Chorus

I tell myself you’ll change someday,

That kindness lost might find its way.

But time goes by and hope decays,

And still I stay — I always stay.

Verse

I do the chores, I play the part,

A servant with a breaking heart.

You eat, you scroll, you barely glance,

Our love’s become a circumstance.

Verse

You keep me small, you keep me near,

You like me best when drowned in fear.

I’ve learned to flinch, to hide my fire,

To settle for what love requires.

Bridge

But love is gone, and all that’s left

Are hollow rooms where love once slept.

And though my soul keeps softly praying,

It’s breaking too — beneath the staying.

Chorus

There’s nothing left that I can save,

No warmth to steal, no soul to crave.

You took my light, you left me bare,

And if I’m truly honest — I no longer care.
