[Verse 1]
There’s an empty hole in my life,
A void that cannot easily be filled,
Something missing, inexplainable,
Zest and passions quietly killed.

I wore a badge, I played my part,
Mended wings, kept engines turning,
Watched the sunrise on distant tarmac,
While the world behind me kept on burning.

[Chorus]
There’s a hole in my life that no one can see,
A shadow that follows, a ghost haunting me.
I laugh and I love, but it’s never the same—
The silence returns, and I whisper your name.

[Verse 2]
I saw good men fade in the desert sun,
Lost friends I’d trust with my soul,
Came home with medals and stories to tell,
But silence was all that took hold.

The bottle offered a hollow escape,
A fire that burned no warmth,
It dulled the ache, then sharpened the hate,
Left me stranded, battered, and worn.

[Chorus]
There’s a hole in my life that no one can see,
A shadow that follows, a ghost haunting me.
I laugh and I love, but it’s never the same—
The silence returns, and I whisper your name.

[Bridge]
If you meet someone quiet, alone at the bar,
Please don’t judge the tears or the pain.
Some wounds are hidden, some battles remain,
Some hearts just break in the rain.

[Chorus (repeat, with feeling)]
There’s a hole in my life that no one can see,
A shadow that follows, a ghost haunting me.
I laugh and I love, but it’s never the same—
The silence returns, and I whisper your name.
