Heaven Help Me
Reflections on Love and Redemption: Heaven Help Me
Lyrics
What I get from you I sometimes steal
Stealing emotions or reactions from someone
When I let belief invade what I should feel
When allowing belief to override genuine emotions
Still I do believe that men are fools
Belief that men can act foolishly
And you don't always escape that rule
Acknowledging that even the person addressed doesn't always avoid folly
But this time there will be no fight
There won't be a conflict this time
For this time you are in the right
Acknowledgment of the other person's correctness this time
And even I can see
Even the speaker can perceive the situation
So heaven help me
Plea for divine assistance due to personal shortcomings
I only want a room to call my own
Desire for personal space and a comforting home
And a bright shiny hearth to call my home
Desire for warmth and a stable dwelling
But when you give me love I don't deserve
Questioning self-worth when receiving undeserved love
I wonder how I have the nerve
Amazement or guilt at receiving such affection
To number you amongst the ones
Realization of insulting or mistreating the person
That I call every name under the sun
Admitting to verbally abusing others
Unjust I must be
Recognizing personal injustice towards others
So heaven help me
Reiterating the plea for divine help due to one's wrongdoings
And all the things I yearn to possess
Disinterest in possessing desired things once acquired
When they fall into my hands I could not want them less
Feeling of dissatisfaction upon acquiring desired possessions
And are you supposed to smile and say it didn't matter anyway
Questioning if the other person should overlook grievances
And if you are a fool you'd be
Warning of foolishness to overlook mistreatment
To shrug off all this cruelty
Not advisable to ignore such cruelty
If goodness is wrong in heaven you will never belong
Belief that goodness is not valued in certain places
And I'll never fall on my knees and say heaven help me please
Refusal to ask for divine help despite difficult circumstances
Heaven help me please [Repeat x2]
Repetition of the plea for divine assistance
Heaven help me
Final plea for divine intervention
