My Kind of Love
Unwavering Heart: Emeli Sandé's My Kind of Love
Lyrics
I can't buy your love, don't even wanna try
I am not willing to attempt to purchase or acquire your love.
Sometimes the truth won't make you happy
Sometimes the truth doesn't bring happiness.
So I'm not gonna lie
I won't deceive or mislead despite knowing the truth may not bring happiness.
But don't ever question that my heart beats only for you
My devotion and love are solely directed towards you, without any doubt.
It beats only for you
My heart beats exclusively for you.
I know I'm far from perfect
I acknowledge that I'm far from flawless or ideal.
Nothing like your entourage
I'm different from the people in your social circle or group.
I can't grant you any wishes
I cannot fulfill all your desires or requests.
I won't promise you the stars
I won't make extravagant promises or commitments.
But don't ever question that my heart beats only for you
Reiterating that my heart is committed only to you.
It beats only for you
My heart's allegiance is solely to you.
'Cause when you given up
When you've given everything and it's still not enough.
When no matter what you do, it's never good enough
Regardless of your efforts, they seem insufficient.
When you never thought that it could ever get this tough
Unexpectedly facing extreme challenges.
That's when you feel my kind of love
During these tough times, you experience the depth of my love.
And when you're crying out
When you're calling out for help or support.
When you fall and then can't pick
When you stumble and find it hard to recover.
You're heavy on the ground
Feeling emotionally burdened or weighed down.
When the friends you thought you had haven't stuck around
Realizing that the friends you believed would stay aren't there for you.
That's when you feel my kind of love
During these moments, you experience my sincere form of love.
You won't see me at the parties
I don't engage in social gatherings or parties.
I guess I'm just no fun
Perhaps I'm not entertaining or enjoyable in the conventional sense.
I won't be turning up the radio
I don't express affection through loud declarations.
Singing baby you're the one
I don't publicly proclaim affection or admiration.
But don't ever question that my heart beats only for you
However, my heart remains dedicated exclusively to you.
It beats only for you
My heart's devotion is solely for you.
I know sometimes I get angry and I'd say what I don't mean
I admit to occasionally getting angry and saying things I don't mean.
I know I keep my heart protected, far away from my sleeve
I guard my emotions and keep them protected rather than openly expressing them.
But don't ever question that my heart beats only for you
Reaffirming that despite my shortcomings, my heart belongs only to you.
It beats only for you
My heart's loyalty is solely to you.
'Cause when you given up
Similar to lines 14-17, emphasizing the depth of love during tough times.
When no matter what you do, it's never good enough
Reiterating the feeling of inadequacy despite efforts.
When you never thought that it could ever get this tough
Reiterating facing unexpected, severe challenges.
That's when you feel my kind of love
During these trials, you experience the genuineness of my love.
And when you're crying out
Reiterating the call for help or support during tough times.
When you fall and then can't pick
Reiterating the struggle and difficulty in recovery.
You're heavy on the ground
Feeling overwhelmed or burdened emotionally.
When the friends you thought you had
Realizing that expected friends aren't present in difficult times.
Haven't stuck around
Emphasizing the absence of anticipated support during hardships.
That's when you feel my kind of love
During these moments, you experience my sincere form of love.
'Cause when you given up
Reiterating the feeling of inadequacy despite efforts.
When no matter what you do, it's never good enough
Reiterating facing unexpected, severe challenges.
When you never thought that it could ever get this tough
Reiterating that despite unexpected challenges, my love remains unwavering.
That's when you feel my kind of love
During these trying moments, you experience my genuine form of love.
