Give Me Back My Heart
Reclaiming Broken Pieces: A Song's Plea for Healing
Lyrics
Give me back my heart
Expressing a desire for the return of the speaker's heart.
It was never mine to give away
Acknowledging that the heart was never truly owned by the speaker.
It's been taken apart, one too many times
Describing the heart as dismantled or broken multiple times.
And now the pieces won't fit into place
Conveying the difficulty of restoring the broken pieces.
The truth is, I know how to lie
Admitting the ability to deceive and hide the truth.
I lie to myself all the time
Confessing self-deception as a common practice.
I told you, you could have it
Offering the heart to someone, possibly in a moment of confusion.
But I was out of my mind
Realizing that the decision to give away the heart was irrational.
You can have any other part of me
Suggesting that other aspects of the speaker are available, but the heart is essential.
But please give me back my heart
Reiterating the plea for the return of the heart.
Hearts and arrows, drawn in the snow
Symbolizing emotions through the imagery of hearts and arrows in the snow.
Heaven's Angels lay down their bows
Depicting celestial beings relinquishing their weapons, possibly representing a cessation of love.
Love is weary, love is worn out
Describing love as fatigued and depleted.
Please give back my heart
Repeating the plea for the return of the heart with emotional intensity.
I finally fell asleep last night
Recounting a night of sleep without the usual romantic overtures.
I had no lover's serenade
Emphasizing the absence of a lover's serenade during the speaker's sleep.
A crescent moon had ripped the sky
Depicting a celestial event, possibly representing a disruption in the speaker's emotional state.
And stars were falling from my eyes
Using metaphorical language to describe crying, with tears falling like stars.
A tear-soaked lullaby
Describing a sad and tearful lullaby.
God was busy healing baby's bruises
Highlighting divine attention to healing the innocent and vulnerable.
God was busy answering prayers
Indicating divine responsiveness to prayers.
God was busy cleaning a wounded earth
Suggesting divine efforts to restore a wounded world.
God was busy picking you off the ground
Imagining divine intervention to help someone in distress.
Hearts and arrows, drawn in the snow
Repeating the motif of hearts and arrows, emphasizing their presence in the snow.
Heaven's Angels lay down their bows
Depicting heavenly beings surrendering their bows, possibly signifying the end of love.
Love is weary, love is worn out
Reiterating the weariness and exhaustion of love.
Please give back my heart
Repeating the plea for the return of the heart with emotional intensity.
Hearts and arrows, out in the snow
Continuing the imagery of hearts and arrows in the snow.
Heaven's Angels lay down their bows
Reiterating the celestial beings relinquishing their bows, possibly symbolizing the end of love.
Love is weary, love is worn out
Repeating the weariness and exhaustion of love.
Please give back my heart
Reiterating the plea for the return of the heart with emotional intensity.
Please give back my heart
Strongly urging the return of the heart.
Please give back my heart
Emphatically repeating the plea for the return of the heart.
Please give back my heart
Repeating the urgent request for the return of the heart.
I finally fell asleep last night
Recalling another night of sleep without the expected romantic elements.
