Hole In My Heart

from Wicker Forest by Jonathan Atkins

/

lyrics

Stop, stop the trees from blowing in the wind,
Stop the world from making me sick,
From spinning way too fast,
From making contrast,

Between me with you,
And me without you too.
I've got this gaping hole in my heart,
It'd be better to let someone tear it apart.

So if I let you in are you going to tear it apart.
If I let you into the hole in my heart.
I've got no expectations, just a big stupid hole in my heart.
If I let you in are you going to tear it apart.

The dead seasons will go,
We can't make the leaves grow,
But we can clear some paths in the snow,
And no one has to know, no one has to know,

That we've found a divide,
Between ourselves on the inside,
And everything happening on the outside,
And everything that's going on through the night.

So if I let you in are you going to tear it apart.
If I let you into the hole in my heart.
I've got no expectations, just a big stupid hole in my heart.
If I let you in are you going to tear it apart.

I don't mind all the places I've been,
I don't mind, if you'd rather take me down familiar sins,
No I don't mind, if there's somewhere your more comfortable,
Just as long as you take me with.

Stop, stop the wind from blowing through the trees
Stop the world from making me believe,
It's spinning way too fast,
And making contrast,

Between ourselves on the inside,
And everything happening on the outside,
I've got this gaping hole in my heart,
It'd be better to let someone tear it apart.

So if I let you in are you going to tear it apart.
If I let you into the hole in my heart.
I've got no expectations, just a big stupid hole in my heart.
If I let you in are you going to tear it apart.

about

Jonathan Atkins Mississauga, Ontario

"A singer-songwriter with a devastating ear for harmonies and a delicate touch with lyrics that slide perfectly into a horrid winter. There's a definite Celtic touch, but far sweeter than something like Mumford & Sons." - Andrew Fifield (Metro News)
