Hole In The Heart - Karine Polwart

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

I used to make everything run on time

‘Til I made the whole world stop, I made it stop

CHORUS

Now I’m watching the world move in slow motion

Now I’m finding it easy to breathe

For too long I was trying to walk

In high heels through a river of mud

For too long I was 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

CHORUS

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

First verse repeat

Just like my heart outro
