Devotion
Hurts(Feat. Kylie Minogue) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Inside the heart of every man
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
Ears open
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

Dentro do coração de cada homem
Há muita coisa para se entender
E comigo é a mesma coisa

Quando todo o amor for embora
E a paixão me encarar
Eu poderia ir embora?

Há esperança
Você me ajudará a ser corajoso

Devoção, me salve agora
Eu não quero me desviar do solo sagrado
Eu driblarei a tentação
Eu estou pedindo para você me levar para a segurança neste momento

Perdoe meus pensamentos enquanto estou dormindo
Perdoe essas palavras, eu ainda estou à falar
Eu me sinto tão envergonhado

Agora você parece estar tão longe
Tanta confusão embaça a minha mente
E eu não sei qual caminho tomar

Há esperança
Você irá me ajudar a resistir

Devoção, me salve agora
Eu não quero me desviar do solo sagrado
Eu driblarei a tentação
Eu estou pedindo para você me levar para a segurança neste momento

Devoção, devoção
Eu sou um escravo até a piedade do seu amor
Por tanto tempo, eu estive tão errado
Eu nunca poderia viver sem você.

Devoção, devoção
Leve-me para a segurança
