Ophelia Lyrics
Woe is me, something dramatic like that I could be
Ophelia
Love's labor lost, before it began
I’m not tryin’ to be clever
I’m just sayin’ what I am
Ophelia
Oh, I’m turning over will
And I’m cleaning up this holy mess I made
Everything’s fine
Everything’s okay
Everybody loves a fool
Everybody walks away
Everybody walks away
Oh, my love
Oh alas, this has been such a sad affair
Such a sad affair
Oh and here I go again
Oh I’m sinking in my faithlessness and fear
Everything’s fine
Everything’s okay
Everybody loves a fool
Everybody walks away
Everybody walks away
Oh, I’m turning over will
I’m cleaning up this holy mess I made
I want to feel your arms around me
I want to know your love is real
I want to give you all you’ve given to me
But I’m still afraid to leave, to you
Woe is me, something dramatic like I could be
Ophelia
Ophelia
Love's labor lost, before it began
I’m not tryin’ to be clever
I’m just sayin’ what I am
Ophelia
And I’m cleaning up this holy mess I made
Everything’s fine
Everything’s okay
Everybody loves a fool
Everybody walks away
Everybody walks away
Oh alas, this has been such a sad affair
Such a sad affair
Oh and here I go again
Oh I’m sinking in my faithlessness and fear
Everything’s okay
Everybody loves a fool
Everybody walks away
Everybody walks away
I’m cleaning up this holy mess I made
I want to feel your arms around me
I want to know your love is real
I want to give you all you’ve given to me
But I’m still afraid to leave, to you
Ophelia

More Bethany Joy Lenz
Halo
When the Stars Go Blue
If You're Missing (Come On Home)
Let Me Fall
Feel This (featuring Enation)
I know that everyone keeps saying that this is about Joy's connection with God, but to me this song is about loving yourself, and always coming back to who you are.
this is such a pretty song.
Does anyone else find any connections with Shakespeare?
Someone has a video where she's talking to Joy about this song and she said that it's a break up video...
"Everybody loves a fool, Everybody walks away" "This has been such a sad affair"
And I think she was also alluding to Hamlet with the use of the name "Ophelia"
Beautiful song :)
