Oh yeah wooh Hey hey hey hey hey yeah Life's ambition occupy 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 Hole hearted [Repeat: x2] This heart of stone is where I hide These feet of clay kep 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 Hole hearted [Repeat: x6] Yeah
