What if I can’t be all that you need me to be
We’ve got a good thing going, we have some promises to keep
But my addiction it can be such a detriment
Please believe in this my dear, I am more than penitent
What if everything’s just the way that it will be
Could it be that I am meant to cause you all this grief
My war ships are lying off the coast of your delicate heart
And my aim is steady and true as it’s been right from the start
There’s a degree of difficulty in dealing with me
From my haunted past comes a daunting task of living through memories
If we could just hang a mirror on the bedroom wall, stare into the past and
forget it all
So when we leave it’ll be a quick midnight escape
We’ll disconnect ourselves from all of yesterday
I’ll dig for water and fashion our very own wishing well
Then we’ll throw our coins down hoping to rid us of this little hell
There’s a degree of difficulty in dealing with me
From my haunted past comes a daunting task of living through memories.
If we could just hang a mirror on the bedroom wall, stare into the past and
forget it all
Will we get out of this little hell
Will we get out of this little hell
Will we get out of this little hell
Will we get out of this little hell
Holy man I love this song.. was a drug addict for 2 years ended up leaving my girlfriend for drugs.. we where dating for 5 years. this song just hits me deep i love it. I have been sober for almost two years now.. i hope everyone struggling gets help or decides to change their life around as I did.
Music can always touch our hearts because it proves to us we arent the only ones going through these hard times.. Maybe we just need someone to talk to about these things.. Someone who wont just say sorry but will feed us with care that they been through hard things as well....
If you wanna hear something equal in folk sounding soul, but with a glimmering light radiating into your spirit check out john butler-ocean 2012 studio version. Perfectly personal..
Deep, haunting chills every time. This song is beautiful and crushing at the same time. Lord help everyone living in a little hell and bringing casualties along with them.
