Devotion Lyrics

Used to feel so close to me
Everything happened so easily
Life with you is like a dream
Without you there's no way to be

I need your devotion
I need your devotion

Ready to love but do you want it enough
Can we find a way to bring it back again
You say you want to love but do you want it enough
The end of us it never hurt so much

I need your devotion
I need your devotion

Don't leave me in the dark
Don't leave me this way
'Cause nothing's making sense today

I need you in my heart
I need you to stay
(I need your love)

I need your devotion
I need your devotion

Running away are you running to me
Running away are you running to me
Running away are you running to me
Running away are you running to me
Running away are you running to me
Running away are you running to me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Devotion lyrics by Jessie Ware

To me it's about the trepidation of reuniting with somebody who has hurt you before, how you feel simultaneously needy and powerless to do anything about it. The speaker seems especially self-aware in that she recognizes her uncertainty about whether her counterpart is trying to rekindle things with her because he (I assume) wants to, or because he's just trying to flee his own problems.

This song also makes me think of somebody, when listened to alone at night. How human of me.
