Little Hell

City and Colour · Little Hell [2011]

What if I can't be all that you need me to be?

We've got a good thing goin',

we have some promises to keep.

But my addiction, it can be such a detriment.

Please believe in this my dear, I am more than penitent.



What if everything's just the way that it will be?

Could it be that I am meant to cause you all this

grief? My warships' are lying off the coast of your

delicate heart and my aim is set in true,

as it's been right from the start.



CHORUS: There's a degree of difficulty in dealing

with me. From my haunted past,

comes a daunting task of living through memories.

If we could just hang a mirror on the bedroom wall,

stare into the past and forget it all.



So when we leave, be a quick,

midnight escape. We'll disconnect ourselves from all

of yesterday. I'll dig for water and fashion our very

own wishing well. Then we'll throw our coins down hoping

to rid us of this little hell.



CHORUS: There's a degree of difficulty in dealing with

me. From my haunted past, comes a daunting task of

living through memories. If we could just hang a mirror

on the bedroom wall, stare into the past and forget it all.



Will we get out of this little hell? X4
