Devotion
Hurts/Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is so much to understand
And I'm just the same
When all the love has gone away
And passion stares me in the face
Could I walk away
You'll help me to be brave
Devotion save me now
I don't wanna stray from the hallow ground
I'll turn temptation down
I'm asking you to take me to safety this time
Forgive my thoughts when I'm asleep
Forgive these words I'm yet to speak
I feel so ashamed
Right now you seem so far away
So much confusion clouds my mind
And i don't know which path to take
Ears open
You'll help me to resist
Devotion save me now
I don't wanna stray from the hallow ground
I'll turn temptation down
I'm asking you to take me to safety this time
Devotion, devotion
I'm a slave onto the mercy of your love
For so long I've been so wrong
I could never live without you
Devotion, devotion
Take me to safety
