A Hole in My Heart

I’ve got a hole in my heart,
A great big bottomless hole.
It aches and groans when I’m all alone,
So I try to fill it, this hole in my heart.

I tried to fill it with beer.
Let’s have a toast and then another my dear.
The booze was curse, the hole just got worse.
I can’t seem to fill it, this hole in my heart.

I tried to fill it with food.
Seconds? Don’t mind if I do.
Despite all the pie, I felt empty inside.
I can’t seem to fill it, this hole in my heart.

[CHORUS]

I tried to fill it with sex.
The one night stands left me in a mess.
When I got home I felt so alone.
I can’t seem to fill it, this hole in my heart.

I tried to fill it with work.
No time for friends, I feel like a jerk.
I’d work for the dollar, but inside I felt hollow.
I can’t seem to fill it, this hole in my heart.

[CHORUS]
I tried to fill it but failed.
I’ve cried, I’ve wept and I’ve wailed.
It’s either the noose or time for a truce.
‘Cause I tried to fill it. I tried to kill it.
I can’t seem to fill it, this hole in my heart.
Yes, I can’t seem to fill it, this hole in my heart.
