Lyrics
Little Hell
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 of 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?
