Hole in the Heart lyrics

I made everything come undone

I made everything fall apart

I quit running to the finishing line

And I went back to the start

I found a great big hole in the middle of my life

Shaped just like my heart, just like my heart

I lost sight of what was under my feet

'Cause I always had to be on top

And I was so drunk on love

That I didn't taste a single drop

And I used to make everything run on time

Till I made the whole world stop, I made it stop

Now I'm watching the world move in slow motion

Now I'm finding it easy to breathe

For too long I've been trying to walk

In high heels through a river of mud

For too long I've been trying to talk

Over the sound of rushing blood

Where truth is a story scribbled in chalk

Just an hour before the flood, before the flood

Now I'm watching the world move in slow motion

Now I'm finding it easy to breathe

I made everything come undone

I made everything fall apart

I quit running to the finishing line

And I went back to the start

I found a great big hole in the middle of my life

Shaped just like my heart, just like my heart

Just like my heart
