Of All the Hearts
Broken Hearts and Fateful Encounters: Gary Allan's Soulful Tale
Lyrics
Of all the hearts
Expressing the focus on hearts, possibly a romantic context.
In this big ol' world
Highlighting the vastness and diversity of the world.
Please tell me
Pleading for an explanation or reason.
Why did you have to break mine
Questioning the motive behind breaking the speaker's heart.
For every tear I've cried
Referencing emotional pain through tears.
There must be a million fools
Suggesting there are numerous other potential partners.
That could have caught your eye
Implies others could have been chosen instead.
What were the odds
Raising the question of the probability of the speaker and the person meeting.
That you and I would meet
Expressing surprise or fate in the encounter.
We were just strangers
Describing the initial relationship as strangers in a crowd.
On a crowded street
Setting the scene of the meeting.
Of all the hearts
Repeating the emphasis on hearts in the context of love.
That you could have loved
Questioning the choice to love and then leave.
And left oh
Expressing the pain of being abandoned.
Why did you have to be mine
Raising the question of why the speaker became the chosen one.
Whatever made you
Asking for the reason behind selecting the speaker.
Choose me above the rest
Suggesting a sense of being chosen above others.
Is there some unlucky
Questioning if there is something unfortunate about the speaker.
Charm that I possess
Referring to a possible charm or quality possessed by the speaker.
Of all the hearts
Reiterating the theme of hearts and heartbreak.
In this big ol' world
Emphasizing the enormity of the world in the context of hearts.
Please tell me
Repeating the plea for an explanation or reason.
Why did you have to break mine
Reiterating the pain of heartbreak and seeking understanding.
Oh why did it have to be mine
Questioning the specific choice of the speaker's heart to break.
