Grace
Grace of Heart: Love's Struggle and Redemption in Michelle Malone's Melody
Lyrics
I was up all night
I spent the entire night awake
dreaming of you
Thinking and fantasizing about you
Pretty valentine
Referring to someone as a lovely valentine
Bleeding again from the sole of her shoes
Metaphorically bleeding again, possibly from emotional pain, expressed through the image of bleeding from the sole of her shoes
Cause she's got to carry the weight of the truth
Feeling burdened by the weight of a harsh truth
Would you take it easy on me
Asking for understanding and mercy, questioning if seeing vulnerability would make a difference
Would you take it easy on me
-Would you like to see me crawling
-Would it do any good
-Good would do if it could
-I was up all night drinking of you
Spent the night drinking, possibly to cope with emotions
We got into a fight
Had a disagreement or conflict
Love always drains the life out of me
Love is draining, but the speaker can't complain
But I can't complain
Despite the difficulties, the speaker accepts the situation
I'm in the deep freeze
Feeling emotionally numb or frozen
Would you take it easy on me
Similar to earlier lines, seeking understanding and mercy
Would you make it easy on me
-Would you like to see me crawling
-Would it do any good
-Good would do if it could
-Through the grace of your heart
Expressing dependence on the grace of someone's heart for well-being and survival
I'd be alright through the grace of your heart
-Sleep through the night through the grace of your heart
-Keep me in line through the grace of your heart
-Keep me alive through the grace of your heart
-I got up alright
Describing a morning scene with remnants of a past conflict, emphasizing the impact of love on the speaker's soul
Breakfast for two
-Pieces of hate all over the room
-Your love is a light that leads to my soul
-That's melting the wall,
-That's drowning me, so
-Would you take it easy on me
Repeating the plea for understanding and mercy
Could you make it easy on me
-Would you like to see me crawling
-Would it do any good
-Good would do if it could
-Through the grace of your heart
Reiterating reliance on the grace of someone's heart for various aspects of life
The grace of your heart
-I'd be alright through the grace of your heart
-Sleep through the night through the grace of your heart
-Swallow my pride through the grace of your heart
-Buried alive through the grace of your heart
-Love has no pride
Stating that love doesn't have pride, possibly implying a humble and selfless aspect of love
Love has no pride
-Grace
Repeating the central theme of the song, emphasizing grace
