I've got a hole in my heart
Where your love used to be
I've got no air in my lungs
Where I used to breathe
I've got a hole in my heart
Where your love used to be
And I don't wanna close my eyes
And fall asleep

Cause every time I do
I'm only dreamin' of you
Oh, I don't wanna live my life half awake
Wishing for the words to say

If I asked you to stay
Just for a little while
Just for a little while longer
Would you push me away
Or would you stay awhile
Would you stay awhile with me
And fix the hole in my heart
Where your love used to be

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

You are the thorn on the rose
That I used to hold
You're the light on the match
When I'm getting cold
And there's no easy way to live with you
Taking all I have to give
I'll pick you up each time you fall
When we've had too much alcohol
Oh, oh, oh

If I ask you to stay
Just for a little while
Just for a little while longer
Would you push me away
Or would you stay awhile
Stay awhile with me
And fix the hole in my heart
Where your love used to be

The words are falling out my mouth again
Don't listen to a thing
It's funny how three words
They don't mean a thing
When you're not here with me

If I asked you to stay
If I asked you to stay
Won't you please fix the hole in my heart
Where your love used to be
