Only My Heart
Unveiling the Tapestry of Love: Only My Heart by Elise Eden
Lyrics
This thing's got a half a million miles
This thing has endured a significant journey of half a million miles.
But it's still beating wild
Despite its extensive journey, it remains lively and passionate.
Something about you
There's a special quality about you that affects the speaker.
Makes it go faster
Your presence accelerates the speaker's emotions and experiences.
It makes up my mind
It influences the speaker's decision-making process most of the time.
Most of the time
Despite challenges, the speaker's determination persists.
It don't give up
Persistence is a characteristic of the speaker's heart until it achieves its goals.
Til it gets what it's after
It doesn't relent until it attains what it desires.
It's only my heart, everything I can give you
The speaker expresses that they are offering everything they have, which is their heart.
I don't want it back, boy take it with you
The speaker doesn't expect the heart back; they want the listener to keep it.
It's covered in love songs, goodbye's, and gone wrongs
The heart carries a history of love, farewells, and mistakes.
Every broken piece, every stitch and every scar
Every aspect of the speaker's heart, including brokenness, repairs, and scars, is present.
It's only my heart
Reiterates that what is being offered is solely the speaker's heart.
Takes up most of my sleep
The heart occupies the speaker's thoughts, impacting their sleep.
But that ain't where it oughta be
However, it is suggested that the heart should be elsewhere.
It's an open book
Describing the heart as transparent and easy to understand but prone to intense emotions.
Reads easy, falls harder
It falls passionately and deeply despite being easily understood.
Right here in your hands
The heart is now in the possession of the listener and cannot be concealed.
I can't hide who I am
The speaker cannot hide their true self, akin to the vulnerability of the Tin Man without protection.
Like the tin man
Like the Tin Man without armor, emphasizing the exposed and defenseless nature of the speaker.
Without a suit of armor
Restating that what is given is solely the speaker's heart.
It's only my heart, everything I can give you
The speaker doesn't want the heart back; it's a gift for the listener.
I don't want it back, boy take it with you
The heart is marked by love, farewells, and mistakes.
It's covered in love songs, goodbye's, and gone wrongs
Every aspect, whether broken or healed, is part of the heart's narrative.
Every broken piece, every stitch and every scar
Reiteration that what's offered is exclusively the speaker's heart.
It's only my heart
Emphasizing that everything presented is the speaker's heart.
The blood I bleed, the breath I breathe
The heart is closely tied to the speaker's life essence and existence.
What you get is what you see
The speaker is genuine and transparent, and what is seen is an authentic representation.
It's only my heart, everything I can give you
The speaker is once again emphasizing that everything they can offer is their heart.
I don't want it back, boy take it with you
No expectation of return; the speaker wants the listener to keep their heart.
It's covered in love songs, goodbye's, and gone wrongs
Reiterating that the heart is marked by love, farewells, and mistakes.
Every broken piece, every stitch and every scar
Every aspect, whether shattered or mended, is part of the heart's narrative.
It's only my heart
Final emphasis that what is being offered is solely the speaker's heart.
It's only my heart...
Concluding that what is being given is only the speaker's heart.
