Can you hear my hearts beating but I'm feeling pretty empty inside

Expressing a sense of emotional emptiness despite the apparent vitality suggested by a beating heart.

One hit is worth another but I'm feeling pretty empty tonight

Suggesting that the pursuit of certain experiences or substances is not fulfilling the emotional void.


You're struggling with love

I'm tryna figure out a way to make this feel right

Attempting to find a solution or path to make the emotional situation feel right.

without making you numb

But oh what a time to make you feel alive

Reflecting on a significant or impactful moment in time.

I wonder if the taste was your own

And I can't lie it feels like I'm on fire

I know that you're not sleeping alone

So alone tonight

The stars don't shine as bright

But I'm feeling pretty empty tonight
