 (Opens with Verse Riff x2)
 (Verse Riff)
Life's  ambition occupies my time
Priorities  confuse the  mind
Happiness  one step behind
This  inner peace I've yet to  find
Rivers flow  into  the sea
 Yet even  the  sea is not so  full of  me
 If I'm  not blind  why can't  I see
 That a circle  can't fit  where a square should  be
 There's a hole  in my heart
 That  can only  be filled by you
 And this hole  in my heart
 Can't be filled  with the things I do
 (Chorus Riff 1) -
 Hole hearted
 (Chorus Riff 1)
 Hole hearted
 Verse Riff 1x
 This heart  of stone is where I  hide
 These feet  of clay kept warm inside
Day  by day less satisfied
Not  fade away before I  die
Rivers flow  into  the sea
 Yet even  the  sea is not so  full of  me
 If I'm  not blind  why can't  I see
 That a circle  can't fit  where a square should  be
 There's a hole  in my heart
 That  can only  be filled by you
 And this hole  in my heart
 Can't be filled  with the things I do
 There's a hole  in my heart
 That  can only  be filled by you
 Should have known  from the start
 I'd  fall short  with the things I do
 (Chorus Riff 1) -
 Hole hearted Hole Hearted

 Hole hearted Hole Hearted

 Hole hearted Hole Hearted
