I Went Too Far

  • I went too far when I was begging on my knees
    Begging for your arms, for you to hold around me
    I went too far and kissed the ground beneath your feet
    Waiting for your love, waiting for our eyes to meet

    Crying 'give me some love, give me some love and hold me
    Give me some love and hold me tight
    Oh, give me some love, give me some love and hold me
    Give me some love and hold me tight

    I went too far when I was begging on my knees
    When I cut my hands, so you could stand and watch me bleed
    I went too far and kissed the ground beneath your feet
    Standing in my blood, it was a taste of bittersweet

    Crying 'give me some love, give me some love and hold me
    Give me some love and hold me tight
    Oh, give me some love, give me some love and hold me
    Give me some love and hold me tight

    Why can't I turn around and walk away?
    Go back in time?
    I had to turn around and walk away
    I couldn't stay, I had to walk away

    I'm left behind with an empty hole
    And everything I am is gone
    I tried to reach for another soul
    So I can feel whole
    Oh, give me some love
    Oh, give me some love

    Oh, give me some love, give me some love and hold me
    Give me some love and hold me tight
    Oh, give me some love, give me some love and hold me
    Give me some love and hold me tight

    Why can't I turn around and walk away?
    Go back in time?
    I had to turn around and walk away
    I couldn't stay, I had to walk away Writer/s: Aurora Aksnes, Magnus Aaserud Skylstad, Odd Martin Skalnes
