There’s a hole in my body where my heart used to be.
I’m torn and I’m tattered and I’m down on my knees
My mind is a window and it’s easy to see.
There’s a hole where my heart used to be.
My soul is a prison, memories and all
An endless black ocean and my boat is so small
And I’m drowning and I’m dying, but I try to stand tall
If you could, why wouldn’t you call.
I got no right to be here if you cannot stay
If I can’t figure out what took you away
All the truth in the world, all that wisdom revealed
There’s a hole where my heart used to be.
All the streets are deserted, my eyes have gone blind.
If you’re looking for love, well it’s sure hard to find
And even harder to hold on to, in a world so unkind
In a world so unkind.
So I guess it’s farewell my lover, my friend
I wish just for one second, I could see you again
And hold you like a mother, right til the end
My partner, my lover, my friend.
There’s a hole in my body where my heart used to be.
I’m torn and I’m tattered and I’m down on my knees
If this is freedom, I hate being free.
There’s a hole where my heart used to be.
There’s a hole where my heart used to be.
