HOLLOW ft. KASANE TETO (SynthV Original Song)

I'm hollow, oh, inside out And yet you insist, without a doubt That I'm not hollow, oh, in the end But words aren't enough, don't play pretend That I'm not hollow, so leave me be There's nothing to save inside of me Because I'm hollow, oh, what will it take To see that our bond is fleeting It'll always fade away I swore to never reveal myself No matter the cost to my own health Because I know none of this will matter Even if I feel like I might shatter Deep down I know nothing ever lasts It will just leave a scar on the past But sometimes I wish I could break the barrier So maybe then I won't feel like... I'm hollow, oh, inside out And yet you insist, without a doubt That I'm not hollow, oh, in the end But words aren't enough, don't play pretend That I'm not hollow, so leave me be There's nothing to save inside of me Because I'm hollow, oh, what will it take To see that our bond is fleeting It'll always fade away Despite all of my expectations I see You persist in staying with me Maybe I can relax and let the light in Because- I'm hollow, oh, but now I see That opening up has set me free I may be hollow, oh, but I'll try To fill in the blanks festering inside So even hollow, oh, ones like me Can learn to become a whole being And maybe hollow, oh, ones like me Aren't without hope for new beginnings So I will fight on to stay by you And ensure our love will remain true So I will trust you to stay by me No matter what comes, unbreakably I was once hollow, oh, now I've changed As the seasons pass, it feels so strange But I won't return to where I was Because our bond is healing And it will not fade away #synthesizerv #vocaloid #kasaneteto #synthv
