About This Track

‘Devotion’ by Hurts is a 2010 pop track from ‘Happiness - Deluxe Edition’. The lyrics frame inner temptation and lingering passion, even after love has gone, with the narrator weighing whether they can walk away. A vow of sorts follows, expressed in a plea for help to stay brave, as the song turns from self-interrogation towards a more resolved hope.

"Devotion" is a track by Hurts, released 27th August 2010. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Devotion

[Verse 1: Theo Hutchcraft]

Inside the heart of every man

There is a lust you understand

And I'm just the same

When all the love has gone away

And passion stares me in the face

Could I walk away?

[Pre-Chorus: Theo Hutchcraft]

Here's hoping

You'll help me to be brave

[Chorus: Theo Hutchcraft]

Devotion, save me now

I don't wanna stray from the hallowed ground

I'll turn temptation down

I'm asking you to take me

To safety this time

[Verse 2: Kylie Minogue & Theo Hutchcraft]

Forgive my thoughts when I'm asleep

Forgive these words I'm yet to speak

I feel so ashamed

Right now you seem so far away

So much confusion clouds my mind

And I don't know which path to take

[Pre-Chorus: Kylie Minogue & Theo Hutchcraft]

Here's hoping

You'll help me to resist

[Chorus: Kylie Minogue & Theo Hutchcraft]

Devotion, save me now

I don't wanna stray from the hallowed ground

I'll turn temptation down

I'm asking you to take me

To safety this time

[Bridge: Theo Hutchcraft]

Devotion, devotion

I'm a slave unto the mercy of your love

For so long, I've been so wrong

I could never live without you

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: Kylie Minogue]

Take me to safety
