Hollow Words
Emotional melancholic rock ballad with a somber, intimate tone. Slow-to-mid tempo (70–90 BPM). Soft electric guitar arpeggios, warm but sorrowful chords, gentle bass, and light rock drums with a muted, reflective feel. Add subtle reverb for a distant, melancholic atmosphere. Vocals should sound vulnerable, expressive, slightly raspy, carrying emotional pain and quiet frustration. Occasional harmonic layering in the chorus. Overall mood: sad, introspective, raw, focused on heartbreak caused by hurtful words.

Lyrics
Verse 1
You said you didn’t mean it,
But the echo still remains,
Every letter like a dagger
Falling deeper through my veins.
I tried to keep my balance,
But your silence pulled me down,
Now I’m drowning in the memories
Of the things you won’t renounce.
Pre-Chorus
And I wish I could forget it,
But the scars don’t fade with time…
Chorus
Your words cut through me
Like a winter breaking stone,
Left me standing in the shadows,
Feeling smaller, so alone.
You don’t see the pieces
That your anger left behind—
But I’m bleeding from the echoes
Of the lies you called “just fine.”
Verse 2
I walk around the ashes
Of the trust we used to keep,
Every promise now feels fragile,
Every night I fail to sleep.
You speak like nothing happened,
But I tremble at your tone,
‘Cause the quiet between sentences
Hurts more than what I’ve known.
Pre-Chorus
And I’m trying not to lose me,
But I’m breaking line by line…
Chorus
Your words cut through me
Like a winter breaking stone,
Left me standing in the shadows,
Feeling smaller, so alone.
You don’t see the pieces
That your anger left behind—
But I’m bleeding from the echoes
Of the lies you called “just fine.”
Bridge
Maybe someday you’ll notice
What your voice has done to me,
But I’m tired of pretending
That the hurt can set me free.
Final Chorus
Your words cut through me
Till there’s nothing left to save,
And I’m learning how to live now
With the heart you couldn’t brave.
Maybe I’ll grow stronger—
But tonight I’m still confined
To the pain inside the echoes
Of the lies you called “just fine.”
