Hell Is

(album: Beneath The Roses - 2023)

Thought I could ignore you and you'd go away
But the less I care for you, the more that you stay
I guess since you're here now, I'll ask you to reach
Into my broken skull and pull out clarity

But you don't know me now
(You don't know me now) oh
You don't know me now
(You don't know)

Thought it'd be easy to be somewhere else
But the further I walked, oh, the more that I fell
I'm sinking in mud, ankle high in the creek
And these hands reaching up pull me into the weeds

But you don't know me now
(You don't know me now)
You don't know my hell
(You don't know)

Hell is to love you (always love you)
And never be loved by you (I don't, I don't)

I wanted to change every part of me bad
But the price of your love was worth more than I had
So I paid you off with a promise of hope
But a promise ain't worth anything when it's broke

But you don't know me now
(You don't know me now)
You don't know my hell
(You don't know)

Hell is to love you (always love you)
And never be loved by you (I don't, I don't)
Hell is to hold you (always love you)
And never be held by you (I don't, I don't)

I'm getting so tired tryna outrun myself
If I stand long enough, maybe silence will tell
But maybe these hands will keep dragging me down
Until I'm deep enough to see everything!

Everything
Everything
Everything

Hell is to love you (always love you)
And never be loved by you (I don't, I don't)
Hell is to hold you (always love you)
And never be held by you (I don't, I don't)

Hell is to love you (always love you)
And never...
