This Heart Belongs to Me
Unveiling the Heart's Longing: Air Supply's 'This Heart Belongs to Me'
Lyrics
Where are all the tricks that people play
Questioning the deceptive actions people take when afraid to express their true feelings.
When they're afraid to say
Referencing the hesitation to admit feelings openly.
I want you to hold on to me
Expressing a desire for emotional connection and support.
If I let you go again tonight
Concern about the possibility of losing someone again.
Whose arms will keep me warm
Wondering who will provide comfort and companionship.
And take me where I want to be
Desiring to be taken to a place of emotional fulfillment.
But if I lose and then surrender all I know
Contemplating the consequences of losing and surrendering everything.
What would I do if you decided to let go
Reflecting on the uncertainty of the other person's commitment.
Hopelessly I'd stand there with everything all gone
Feeling helpless and empty if the relationship falls apart.
My head down in my hands
Visualizing a scene of emotional distress with head down in hands.
Just wondering why
Pondering the reasons behind the potential separation.
CHORUS
CHORUS - Affirmation that the heart belongs to the speaker.
This heart belongs to me
Declaring ownership of the heart.
And I know what I believe
Asserting confidence in personal beliefs.
But now it longs to be
Expressing a strong desire to be with the person the heart belongs to.
Only with you
Emphasizing exclusivity and commitment in the relationship.
Where are all the words I sometimes say
Questioning the absence of words due to fear of rejection.
When I'm afraid to ask
Describing the fear that hinders open communication.
I want you to hold on to me
Reiterating the desire for emotional connection and support.
Anyway you want to let me know
Expressing willingness to receive communication in any form.
You're sharing my belief
Highlighting the shared belief in the importance of the relationship.
Of wanting to hold on to me
Reciprocal desire to be held onto emotionally.
I tell the truth and risk you running from my life
Weighing the risk of truth leading to the other person leaving.
So much to lose and yet
Acknowledging the high stakes and potential loss in the relationship.
You know how hard I try
Recognizing the effort put into the relationship.
Hopelessly I'd stand there with everything all gone
Imagining a scenario of emotional devastation if the relationship fails.
My head down in my hands
Visualizing a posture of defeat with head down in hands.
Just wondering why
Questioning the reasons for potential separation.
