joel ansett - idols lyrics
[verse 1]
i’d been searching for that something
that would make my joy complete
once i thought that i had found it
i made it mine and mine to keep
[verse 2]
i had never loved so deeply
in my heart, i gave it a throne
and from there i let it rule me
oh, if only i had known
[chorus]
that i love the right things
but i love them too much
when you hold on too tight
you’re bound to lose touch
oh, i love the right things
but i love them too much
when you hold on too tight
you’re bound to lose touch
[verse 3]
all my hopes and expectations
they were dashed against the wall
i had made them my salvation
and for that i lost it all
[chorus]
oh, i love the right things
but i love them too much
when you hold on too tight
you’re bound to lose touch
oh, i love the right things
but i love them too much
when you hold on too tight
you’re bound to lose touch
[post-chorus]
and now it’s too late
but now i realize
that you lose what you idolize
[verse 4]
clean this house, oh, clean this heart
be as violent as you must
brick by brick, oh, bring them down
turn our idols into dust
