Devotion
♡ Hurts Lyrics

Inside the heart of every man
Deep inside each person is a complex and intricate emotional world

There is so much to understand
There is so much to learn and know about ourselves and our emotions

And I'm just the same
And I, the singer, am no exception to this complexity of emotions

When all the love has gone away
When love disappears or fades away

And passion stares me in the face
And I'm faced with intense emotions and desires

Could I walk away
Would I be able to resist the temptation and leave these desires behind?

Ears open
Ready and attentive to receive guidance

You'll help me to be brave
Someone or something will give me the courage to face my struggles and challenges

Devotion save me now
The singer is making a plea to devotion to rescue them from their current emotional turmoil

I don't wanna stray from the hallow ground
The singer wants to stay true to their values and not deviate from what they know is morally correct

I'll turn temptation down
I will resist the allure of what is tempting me

I'm asking you to take me to safety this time
The singer is asking for guidance and protection to help them navigate through this difficult time

Forgive my thoughts when I'm asleep
Please pardon the singer's subconscious thoughts when they are unaware

Forgive these words I'm yet to speak
And forgive the words the singer may say in the future that they do not mean

I feel so ashamed
The singer feels guilty and embarrassed about their thoughts and potential actions

Right now you seem so far away
The singer feels disconnected from the source of their guidance and protection

So much confusion clouds my mind
The singer is feeling lost and unsure about what to do

And I don't know which path to take
The singer is uncertain about which decision to make

You'll help me to resist
The singer's guide or source of inspiration will help them fight against their temptations

Devotion save me now
The plea for assistance is repeated, emphasizing the importance of getting help in this difficult time

I don't wanna stray from the hallow ground
The idea of staying true to one's values is reiterated again

I'll turn temptation down
The singer will do everything they can to resist temptation

I'm asking you to take me to safety this time
The plea for guidance and protection is repeated once again

Devotion, devotion
The singer is emphasizing the importance of devotion, mentioning it twice

I'm a slave unto the mercy of your love
The singer admits they are entirely reliant on the grace and mercy of their source of inspiration

For so long I've been so wrong
The singer acknowledges their past mistakes and wrongdoings

I could never live without you
The singer recognizes their dependence on their guide and source of inspiration

Take me to safety
The final plea for guidance and protection
