Just a Little Hole
Beth Hart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could you ever
Laugh out loud while you cry
It will own you, you can't let it
While it holds you you can't even try
You're so unsatisfied
You're so damn petrified
You ain't got nothin' to prove
Just a little heartache
Just a little hole
Just an itchy finger
And nobody knows
Just a little heartache
Somethin' for the soul
Fingers on the trigger
And nobody knows, what she knows
I got a secret and how you dread it
I should have known by
The lonely look in your eye
You made a promise never kept it
You didn't even tell me good-bye
You're so unsatisfied
There's no more tears to cry
You ain't got nothin' no
You ain't got nothin' to prove
Just a little heartache
Just a little hole
Just an itchy finger
Nobody knows
Just a little heartache
Somethin' for the soul
Fingers on the trigger
And nobody knows, what she knows
Nobody knows, what she knows
In December, I got your letter
And by the springtime
They let me know you were gone
And if I only loved you better
I'd see you smile again
But what's done is done
Just a little heartache
Just a little hole
Just an itchy finger
And nobody knows
Just a little heartache
Somethin' for the soul
Fingers on the trigger
And nobody knows
Just a little heartache
Just an itchy finger
And nobody knows
Just a little heartache
Just a little hole
Just a little hole
Just a little hole
Just a little heartache
Just a little hole
Fingers on the trigger
Just a little hole

You didn't even tell me good-bye
Feeling abandoned by someone without any closure
There's no more tears to cry

In December, I got your letter
Receiving a letter from someone around the holidays
And by the springtime
Some time later after receiving the letter
They let me know you were gone
Finding out that someone has passed away
And if I only loved you better
Regretting not showing more love and affection
I'd see you smile again
Wishing to see someone happy again
But what's done is done
Accepting that the past cannot be changed
