Little Lonely Heart
Echoes of Love and Loss: Holly Macve's Little Lonely Heart
Lyrics
I took your love, from her that day
I separated you from her on that day
It came like a feather in the wind
Your love arrived unexpectedly and lightly, like a feather in the wind
You lay me down, when I asked you to stay and
You laid me down despite my request for you to stay
My lonely heart, My little lonely heart
Referring to the narrator's heart as lonely
My lovely heart will sing for you
The narrator's lovely heart expresses a willingness to sing for the subject
When morning came, the sun rose in shame
When morning came, the sun rose with a sense of shame
For a while there I forgot who I was
Temporary forgetfulness of the narrator's identity
His emerald eyes, Filled up with lies
The deceptive nature of someone's emerald eyes
And still
(Continuation or transition in thought)
My lonely heart, My little Lonely Heart
Reiteration of the narrator's heart being lonely
My lonely heart will sing for you
Expressing the narrator's lonely heart's willingness to sing again
Lover please, why do I cave to your greed?
Questioning why the narrator succumbs to the subject's greed
I'm as bad as you ask me to be
Acknowledging the narrator's own shortcomings as requested by the subject
So take me down, to your favourite place and
Requesting to be taken to the subject's favorite place
My lonely heart will bleed for you
The narrator's lonely heart will bleed for the subject
I'm a fool, for your ways
The narrator acknowledges being a fool for the subject's ways
Like a moth to a flame
Comparing the narrator's attraction to the subject as a moth to a flame
And I don't know who's to blame anymore x2
Uncertainty about who is to blame for the situation
My lonely heart, my little lonely heart
Reiteration of the narrator's heart being lonely
My lonely heart will bleed
The narrator's lonely heart will bleed
My lonely heart, my little lonely heart
Repetition of the narrator's willingness to bleed for the subject
My lonely heart will bleed for you
Repetition of the narrator's lonely heart bleeding for the subject
