Don't try to reach him, he'll just back away
He doesn't mean to, it's just his way
He keeps his distance so he won't get burned
That's just a taste of the tactics he's learned

Chorus:
He's got a hole in his heart no ordinary girl could ever fill
F#7 Bm
He's got it down to an art, making sure no one ever will
Well he thinks he knows the ending, so he's afraid to start
Just no mending that hole in his heart

Ask his no questions, he'll tell you no lies
He doesn't like to deal with goodbyes
He's changed his mind about what "forever" means
He's starting to believe there may be no such thing

Chorus

Bridge:
Where something's missing since the day he was betrayed
He's been feeling like a little piece of him was torn away
Now love can't hold him, 'cause he can't hold love
It just seems to seep away through the gaping wound of...

That hole in his heart no ordinary woman could ever fill
He's got it down to an art, making damn sure no one ever will
Well he thinks he knows the ending, so he's afraid to start
Just no mending that hole in his heart

He's got a hole in his heart
He's got a hole in his heart
Ooh he's got a hole in his heart
