Lyrics
VERSE 1
Introduction to the song's first verse
You only see what your eyes want to see
Perception is selective, and people see what they choose to see
How can life be what you want it to be
Questioning the ability to shape life as desired
You're frozen... when your heart's not open
Feeling emotionally frozen when the heart is closed
You're so consumed with how much you get
Being overly focused on material gain
You waste your time with hate and regret
Wasting time on negative emotions like hate and regret
You're broken... when your heart's not open
Experiencing brokenness when the heart is closed
CHORUS
Introduction to the chorus
Mmm... Mmm... Mmm... If I could melt your heart
Expressing a desire to melt someone's heart
Mmm... Mmm... Mmm... We'd never be apart
Desiring an inseparable connection
Mmm... Mmm... Mmm... Give yourself to me
Seeking emotional surrender
Mmm... Mmm... Mmm... You... hold... the key
Stating that the other person holds the key to this connection
VERSE 2
Introduction to the second verse
Now there's no point in placing the blame
Rejecting blame and emphasizing shared suffering
And you should know I'd suffer the same
Expressing potential heartbreak if the connection is lost
If I lose you... my heart will be broken
Comparing love to a bird that needs freedom
Love is a bird... she needs to fly
Encouraging the release of internal pain
Let all the hurt inside of you die
Reiterating the feeling of being frozen without an open heart
You're frozen... when your heart's not open
Transition to the chorus
CHORUS
Introduction to the second chorus
Mmm... Mmm... Mmm... If I could melt your heart
Reiteration of the longing to melt a frozen heart
Mmm... Mmm... Mmm... We'd never be apart
Emphasizing the desire to avoid separation
Mmm... Mmm... Mmm... Give yourself to me
Repeating the plea for emotional surrender
Mmm... Mmm... Mmm... You... hold... the key
Stating that the other person holds the key to this connection
VERSE 3
Introduction to the third verse
You only see what your eyes want to see
Reiteration of the theme: seeing what one wants to see
How can life be what you want it to be
Questioning the possibility of shaping life as desired
You're frozen... when your heart's not open
Reiterating the feeling of being frozen without an open heart
OUTRO
Repetition of the chorus
Mmm... Mmm... Mmm... If I could melt your heart
Expressing the desire to melt a frozen heart
Mmm... Mmm... Mmm... We'd never be apart
Reiterating the wish to avoid separation
Mmm... Mmm... Mmm... Give yourself to me
Repeating the plea for emotional surrender
Mmm... Mmm... Mmm... You... hold... the key
Stating that the other person holds the key to this connection
You.. Hold.. The.. Key
Final repetition of the key metaphor
