I Hate You
The Mole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me where you go, the place where you hide
The less that you know, the more than you're mine
And all that I am, the words that I say
The love that I have, the curse that I break
And I'll be there and I won't turn away
In the lions den I'll never let you be
Afraid
I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you
When you know my song in your broken heart
And your hope is gone, I'll be holding on again
I'm with you
I'm with you
Yeah

Tell me where you're gone, bring me your case
The worst that you've done, the least of my grace
And take what you see and take what you know
And leave it with you and let them all go
And I'll be there, just let me in your heart
In your despair I'll never let you fall
Apart

I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you
When you know my song in your broken heart
And your hope is gone, I'll be holding on again
I'm with you
I'm with you
Yeah

(Oh)

Take my heart
Hold my hand
All I want
All I am
Know my voice
Know my plans
'Cause we know you get tired and I'm better than I've ever been

I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you
When you know my song in your broken heart
And your hope is gone, I'll be holding on again
I'm with you
I'm with you
