Hollow by Melodie Yvonne

Drag me in the deep end and then tell me that it’s shallow
All your fucking promises are nothin’ more than hollow
And now I’m thinkin’ those words don’t mean what you think they mean
‘Cause “soon” sure don’t mean “never” and I know you’re ghostin’ me

Just because you’re polite don’t mean I’m not huffin’ gas
I breathe it in each time you sit there talkin’ out your ass
I get all dizzy when you spin that web of lies you’re spewin’
I don’t know why it’s so damn hard when I know what you’re doin’

Drag me in the deep end and then tell me that it’s shallow
All your damn apologies are nothin’ more than hollow
And now I’m thinkin’ “homiez” don’t mean what you think it means
‘Cause real pals feed your soul they don’t just feed you gasoline

But every piece of me just aches from wantin’ you right here
Even though I know you’re fake and oh so insincere
But even though you’re so damn selfish and your ego’s epic
I can’t help but hop in line each time you start two steppin’

Drag me in the deep end and then tell me that it’s shallow
All your hollow promises are gettin’ hard to swallow
And now I’m thinkin’ your words don’t mean a damn thing to me
‘Cause “soon” sure don’t mean “never” and I know you’re ghostin’ me

Yeah, buddy, I’m chokin’ on fumes and you’re still spewin’ gasoline
My “homie”, please stop stringin’ my heart and playin’ and makin’ a fool of me
