  • I don't wanna be the last man standing
    I don't wanna be the lonely one
    Picking petals when the party's over
    No, it's not any fun

    'Cause I'm fragile
    And you know this

    So hold me
    Wrap me in love, fill up my cup
    Empty and only your love can fill up my cup
    'Cause I'm hollow
    Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh
    'Cause I'm hollow
    Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh

    I don't wanna be the first one folding
    I don't wanna be the joker heart
    Tell me, darling, will you understand me?
    And not show me your cards?

    'Cause I'm paper-thin
    And you, you make me whole again

    So hold me
    Wrap me in love, fill up my cup
    Empty and only your love can fill up my cup
    'Cause I'm hollow
    Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh
    'Cause I'm hollow
    Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh

    Look, I know you've been up at night
    Trying sleep with one eye open
    Crying out enough tears you could fill up the Atlantic Ocean
    Don't front being home alone we learn this from Macaulay Culking
    So I'm just waiting on you
    I've been calling, pick me up, I know you need to pick me up
    I need you to grip me up, you my baby girl no sippy cup, cup
    Half empty or half full, I mean neither way just come and fill me up
    Let's take it back to the old days, head down town and light the city up
    On the late night, just pick a date and its date night
    Karaoke, no stage fright, girl you were made for the stage light
    'Cause you got that phenomenal, most honorable, got me falling, domino
    Take you home to mama though, you know

    Hollow
    Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh
    'Cause I'm hollow
    Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh
    'Cause I'm hollow (yeah)
    Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh (oh yeah)
    'Cause I'm hollow (I'm hollow)
    Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh Writer/s: HAYLEY WARNER, LINDSEY RAYMOND JACKSON, SEAN MICHAEL ANDERSON, THOMAS WILLIAM MACKEN, VICTORIA LOREN KELLY, ZACHARY SCOTT POOR
