lyrics
I burned my Sunday clothes
Thought I had found my gold
But here I sit, picking up the pieces
And I've given up my hope
replaced with will to cope
I lost my friends to drugs and drinking
I'm slowly slipping away
Is it sad to say I feel okay?
I've tried my changing
But God, I just don't care at all
But God knows that I've been playing a fool
I've been staying up and torturing myself
And if I could, I would save my own soul
I would burn my cross, burn it to the ground
So I screamed my final words
Not sure they would be heard
But I packed my bags and I carried on
And now I stay up nights
Contemplating the value of one life
But like Eric told me, "Keep on keepin' on"
Am I broken, is there just too much to fix?
Like a puzzle who's pieces just won't fit
I'm sick of hauling myself in
To learn there's just nothing that can be done
But God knows that I've been playing a fool
I've been staying up and torturing myself
And if I could, I would save my own soul
I would burn my cross, burn it to the ground
And I was too scared to face it
I settled for fool's gold
Now I'm trying to make it worth something it's not
But God knows that I've been playing a fool
I've been staying up and torturing myself
And if I could, I would save my own soul
I would burn my cross, burn it to the ground
it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha
The Oh Hellos have come to hold a very special place in my heart, not just in this album, but in others as well. Hello My Old Heart was one of the first songs I ever heard by them, and it's been a treasured journey listening to them ever since. ladyoforion
