Beth Hart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna talk to you
On a phone, in a house, on a hill
Wherever you want to
I was hard, I was hard, I was so hard on you
I was wrong for so long
Could you ever forgive me?
I guess I have never really learned to
Maybe you, only you
Would you teach me to?
In the park, at the beach, in the sand
Just like we used to do
I'll kiss your cheek while you comb my hair
Before the world, 'fore the world
Before the world comes to an end
I wanna be, wanna be
I wanna be your friend again
Before the sun, before the sun
Rises
I wanna hold your hand in the morning twilight
Sister dear, are you there, are you there?
I wanna talk to you
On a phone, in a house, on a hill
Wherever you want to
I been hard, I been hard, I been so hard on you
But I love you, I love you
That's all that I wanna say to you
To you
To you
To you

Just wrote this while listening to Sister Heroin for about the twentith time in the last couple of days, Powerful truth about love, sorry for your loss.
So many words I had to say
They just got buried on the way
Lost in word craft suicide
Spoken to the dead after they've died
Cried in the night and never sent
Buried deep in life's regret
Broken lines on broken faces
Broken people in empty places
Time for song sung in the dark
Warning heard you never hark
Some time for dreams before I wake
Remembered nevermore
Did I say the words
I can't remember
Where we were
When it turned December
How you cried
When life turned cold
Were we ever young
Or forever old
Lay a pebble by my stone
Turn to go
Then walk alone
I can't remember anymore
If I said I love you

An absolutely incredible song, a sad commentary on the truths of love and pain. I just found this song for the first time today, wrote this while listening to it again tonight.
So many words I had to say
They just got buried on the way
Lost in word craft suicide
Spoken to the dead after they've died
Cried in the night and never sent
Buried deep in life's regret
Broken lines on broken faces
Broken people in empty places
Time for song sung in the dark
Warning heard you never hark
Some time for dreams before I wake
Remembered nevermore
Did I say the words
I can't remember
Where we were
When it turned December
How you cried
When life turned cold
Were we ever young
Or forever old
Lay a pebble by my stone
Turn to go
Then walk alone
I can't remember anymore
If I said I love you

What in the hell is wrong with the music industry??? The shit they promote and award as music is a joke, while this amazing artist is barely recognized. She's too good for the commercial garbage. You f'ing rock, Beth!
@RiseUpAC
A true musician/songwriter that produces music that comes from their soul doesn't care about awards or recognition.
