Primal Scream - Heal Yourself Lyrics

Primal Scream - Heal Yourself Lyrics 

I submerged myself for so many years

Hardened my heart, I cried no tears

I was running away

I was trying to hide

Thought I knew myself, but my truths were lies

My distorted sense of self left no space for anyone else

Behind the wall of sleep I felt safe and out of reach

There was a hole inside of me just as deep as any sea

Just as dark as any pit, still, I had to fill it

She healed me and set me free

Give me love and sweet release

Heal well well heal yourself

Reach out now to someone else

I met someone special, we fell in love

She knew I was sick but she didn't let on

God gave me an English rose

To heal my heart and save my soul

Her love couldn't lift my sadness

I wouldn't let her in to share my darkness

Then she told me with a smile

She was carrying our child

It seemed like a miracle

Would I care to share her dream?

She healed me and set me free

Give me love and sweet release

Heal well well heal yourself

Reach out now to someone else

We set up home, times were good

I really tried the best I could

Now and then I slipped and fell

Become a stranger to myself

A second child was born out of love

Still the sly and snaky feelings wouldn't stop

I had trouble on my mind and in my blood

Thought I was free but was in jail

Thought I won but I had failed

Only weak men run away

You have to face yourself someday

If you find someone you really love

Just hang on in there and hang in tough

If you've no love for yourself

How can you love somebody else?

My warring heart tore me apart

Spent too long in the dark

Angry, a closed book

She opened it to live

She opened it to give

She opened it to live

She healed me and set me free

Give me love and sweet release

Heal well well heal yourself

Reach out now to someone else

She healed me and set me free

Give me love and sweet release

Heal well well heal yourself

Reach out now to someone else
