Hellhole - Tellison

Love

I was a hopeless heart

I was the tiniest light in an endless dark

Dilute to the billionth part

Till I met you

Honey

I was an open wound

I was an open noose that my head fit through

And I hoped that I’d need it to till I met you

Because her love was the only thing I ever understood

And hope didn’t bring me the things that I hoped it would

Because she kicked me to the kerb

But then you said no

Just leave it to me

Forget your hurt, step away, just wait for me

I said my heart is a hellhole but leave that to me

If I save you from it

Will you save me from me?

Love

I felt old and weak

Drunk in the belly of the goddamn beast

At the bottom of the deepest deep till I met you

Honey

Was at the end of my road

I felt that I’d walked all my life just to lose control

Felt myself running for the nearest hole

Until I met you

Because her love was the only thing I ever understood

And hope didn’t bring me the things that I hoped it would

Because she kicked me to the kerb

But then you said no

Just leave it to me

Forget your hurt, step away, just wait for me

I said my heart is a hellhole but leave that to me

If I save you from it

Will you save me from me?

Cos my body of work don’t lie

A surge of relief once their hurt subsides

And all the while I remember that

You’re all I have

Just leave it to me

I said my heart is a hellhole but leave that to me

If I save you from it

Will you save me from me?
