    This slower version is beautiful but the original has seen me through some very cathartic moments after a violent ex-husband. Got home from hospital one day (pregnant) and played it all day. This is so much more mellow and I love it. I heard a busker singing this outside the Arndale in Manchester and it felt like a sign. Thank you Damien...

    The 'Live from the basement' videos are incredible. Probably some of Damien's best performances ever.
    This in essence is what music is about - broken down to its most raw & simplest form.
    What really comes through in these performances is the meaning of the lyrics and the emotion behind the delivery.
    Music is a connective medium. Damien really connects with the listener in all his songs. You feel his pain, you feel his joy. Each song is a well crafted episode(s) of his life.
    Inspiring.

    There are just some songs that seriously feel like they were written for you. The way Damien's intense emotions come through all his songs is so beautiful because you know he's putting himself in that 'moment" It's like he's reliving the pain as if it just happened. I cry every time I hear this song because I have been with someone I loved so much but wished i could hate just so we can move on. It's massively painful. this song is the anthem for relationships that just wont end when they should!

My favorite line is "What I want from this is to learn to let go" because it is very hard for me to let go. Thanks for this song Mr. Rice.

    Lyrics
    What I want from you is empty your head
    Well they say be true, don't stain your bed
    Well we do what we need to be free
    And it leans on me just like a rootless tree
    What I want from us is empty our minds
    Well we fake a fuss and fracture the times
    We go blind when we've needed to see
    And this leans on me just like a rootless
    So fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
    And all we've been through
    I said leave it, leave it, leave it
    It's nothing to you
    And if you hate me, hate me, hate me
    Then hate me so good that you can let me out, let me out, let me out
    Of this hell when you're around
    Let me out, let me out, let me out
    Hell when you're around
    Let me out, let me out, let me out
    What I want from this is learn to let go
    No not of you, of all that's been told
    But killers reinvent and believe
    And this leans on me just like a rootless
    So fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
    And all we've been through
    I said leave it, leave it, leave it
    It's nothing to you
    And if you hate me, hate me, hate me
    Then hate me so good that you can let me out, let me out, let me out
    Of this hell when you're around
    Let me out, let me out, let me out
    Of this hell when you're around
    Let me out, let me out, let me out
    Hell when you're around
    Let me out, let me out, let me out
    Hell when you're around
    Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
    And fuck you, fuck you, I love you
    And all we've been through
    I said leave it, leave it, leave it
    It's nothing to you
    And if you hate me, hate me, hate me
    Then hate me so good that you can let me out, let me out, let me out
    Of this hell when you're around
    Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
    Let me out
    Hell when you're around
    Let me out, let me out, let me out
    Hell when you're around
    Let me out, let me out, let me out
    It's hell when you're around
    Let me out, let me out, just let me out
    Hell when you're around

    Everybody always focuses on the the dislikes, but counting from july 27th, 99,3% of people who chose to say something, said that they liked this. I'd take 99,3% any time of the week. Summary in one word: BRILLIANT!!
