Hiding Under Water

Beth Hart · Live At Paradiso [2005]

Heaven don't want me

Heaven dont' fool me

No-one will understand

and it's alright



Feelin' these changes

Everybody is strangers

Noone will lend a hand

And I guess that's life.



You say you got a feeling

You figured out the writing on the wall

And angels on the ceiling

Don't calm you when you call

So you found your own religion

And search youre heart for something more

Stood naked in the kitchen, trying to wipe yourself off of the floor



No, I won't take you for granted-

These broken arms can hold you

No, I won't take you for granted



You say it don't matter-

I'm living loud and living long!

And I hear the phony laughter

Echoing on and on.

I'm hiding under water

I pray to god wash me away.

Can't hear the childs wonder.

My innocence got hushed along the way



Now you say, now you say:

No, I won't take you for granted

These broken arms can hold you

No, I won't take you for granted



No, I won't leave you abandoned

This broken heart can love you still

No, I won't take you for granted



And you don't say a word

But inside I know

You don't say that it hurts

And tonight killed slow

All the love in the world

Won't let you let go

Let you let go now, alright



Now hold on, your soul will rise again,

I know that it will

And hold on, your soul will rise again,

I say that it will

And hold on your soul will rise again,

I know that it will now



(Maybe heaven'll want me

Maybe heaven won't fool me

Maybe someone will give a damn

And have a live, yeah.



You say you got a feeling, oh, my.)



Heaven don't want me

Heaven don't fool me

No one could give a damn

And i guess thats life

You say you got a...feeling.
