Trapped in the Heart: A Poetic Journey of Love and Longing
Lyrics
Wherever you go I hope you’re happy there
Wishing happiness for you wherever you may be.
It’s been too long since I’ve breathed your air
It's been a significant amount of time since I've experienced what's familiar to you.
I hope you can smile right through your doubt
Hoping you can maintain a positive outlook despite uncertainties.
I’m trapped in your heart and I can’t get out
Feeling emotionally confined or stuck in your affection and unable to escape.
I lived in my heart and I can’t get out
Feeling emotionally confined within myself.
I’ve scratched my fingertips to the bone
Putting in immense effort or work.
Hear your voice in every dial tone
Hearing reminders of you in various mundane sounds.
Shrinking place, the ceiling’s falling down
Feeling overwhelmed by a restrictive environment or situation.
I’m trapped in your heart and I can’t get out
Continuing to feel emotionally trapped within your affection.
Gave you my heart, now I’m tapped out
Having given all of my emotional capacity and feeling exhausted as a result.
You pretend you’re strong, make believe you’re brave
Putting up a facade of strength despite underlying fear.
Just like me I know you’re afraid
Recognizing similarities in dealing with fear and insecurity.
Seemed so sure you had to get away
Seeming certain about needing distance or separation.
I’m trapped in your heart and there’s no escape
Feeling emotionally confined without any possibility of escape.
Gave you my heart, now my chest is concave
Having given all my emotions, now feeling emotionally hollow or collapsed.
If you want to go back, then just let me know
Open to reconciling if you desire to return.
There’s too much history to let it go
There's too much shared history to simply forget or move on.
And I’m waiting for you to show praying, Lord, have mercy on my soul
Expressing hope and prayer for relief or mercy regarding the situation.
And you say, you say you had to get away but I’m left in the rough
Acknowledging your reasons for leaving but feeling abandoned and left in a difficult situation.
While you still play
Meanwhile, you continue with your life as I struggle.
And maybe you could think about me and smile
Requesting consideration and remembrance with a hopeful tone.
Though this depression’s not my style
Feeling down but expressing that depression is not typical for me.
Echoes loud, I hope I see you around
Desiring future encounters or hoping for a chance to meet again.
I’m trapped in your heart and I can’t get out
Feeling emotionally confined within your affection, unable to break free.
I lived in my heart and I can’t get out
Feeling emotionally confined within myself, unable to break free.
I gave you the world, now I’ve run out
Having given everything I could and now having nothing more to offer.
Followed my heart and I can’t stop now
Continuing to follow my emotions despite the circumstances.
Trapped in your heart and I can’t get out
Still feeling emotionally trapped within your affection.
I’d follow you straight out of bounds
Willing to go beyond conventional limits to follow you.
I’d follow you straight out of bounds
Willingness to break rules or norms to stay connected or be with you.
