lyrics
I feel it's time to stray
From the road I was bred for
A burning thirst for more
Than you could give me on your own
So don't ask me to return
To the road I came from
Your cold controlling love
Always telling me I have a home
Oh my love, oh my love
How I hate all I've done
But I don't want forgiveness
I just want to have some fun
I don't want to fix this
And face the man that I've become
Blood sweat and tears
Just to atone
My sin is my own
That's more clear to me every day
I keep on thinking back
To when I was younger
Those days I was stronger
But I know I can't go back that way
Oh my love, oh my love
How I hate all I've done
But I don't want forgiveness
I just want to turn and run
I don't want to fix this
And face the man that I've become
And all in all, I knew it
As you were standing to leave
They fell right out of your mouth
The words I couldn't believe
But if there's no one standing in the way
Of who I want to be
If you can't hold me down
My feet will never touch the ground
Oh my love, oh my love
How I hate all you've done
How I hate the bitch that you've become
But I don't want forgiveness
I just want to have some fun
I don't want to fix this
And face the thing that you've become
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
