lyrics
I was the truth trapped inside the walls of your heart
And you never thought to tear them down
And I was the love you left behind when you decided not to face the death
That lives inside you now
It's all around
I thought that I should lend a helping hand, before you finally drown
But I felt myself begin to change
I felt my pride corrupt the best of me
It hardened up my heart
But I've been trying to make that right
But every time I see the damage that I've done
I know this salvation cannot be mine
I've wasted all my chances
I've let them all slip away
And I think you'll find that
I'm just tired
I can't hide it anymore
I've run myself to the ground
And I think you'll see that
I climbed atop to get a better view
But I could hardly see
Not everything is made so bright
And I've spent the last two year searching for myself
And I've come face to face with who I oughta be
And it's exactly who I hate
But I've wasted all my chances
I've let them all slip away
And I think you'll find that
I'm just tired
I can't hide it anymore
I've run myself to the ground
And I think you'll see that
I've been the best that I could be
Though my best is hardly anything
But I think I finally see
I think I deserve some sleep
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
