Matters of the Heart
Matters of the Heart: Navigating Love's Complex Terrain
Lyrics
You’ve got to be careful crossing lines
You need to be cautious when crossing boundaries or limits.
I wish you would look both ways before you cross my mind
Desire for the person to be more considerate before entering the speaker's thoughts or feelings.
But you just step out into traffic making cars crash
Metaphorically, the person's actions disrupt the speaker's emotional stability, causing chaos and distress.
Giving me a heart attack
Their actions create intense emotional stress or turmoil for the speaker.
We went into blind we took a stab in the dark
The relationship began without much knowledge or clarity, taking a risk with uncertain outcomes.
Nothing really matters except matters of the heart
The only significant things are matters that involve emotions, especially matters related to love.
You say I’m hot and cold but that’s duality
The person accuses the speaker of inconsistency, but the speaker denies being like Hugh Grant in a romantic movie, emphasizing reality over fantasy.
I ain’t Hugh Grant this ain’t Love Actually
Questioning the ethics and consequences in the context of love and conflict, refusing to become a casualty in love's battles.
What’s fare in love and war and I ain’t ending up a casualty
Disregard for formalities and societal norms, preferring sincerity and depth in expressions of love.
For labels and formality’s I never say nuthin’ flippant or casually
The speaker is genuine in their love declaration, but they won't repeatedly verbalize it.
So if I say I love you then I mean it
Constantly thinking about the person, they occupy the speaker's thoughts persistently.
but don’t expect me to repeat it
Similar to the previous line, reiterating the constant presence of thoughts about the person.
And I think about you all the time
Repetition of thoughts and emotions regarding the person, they are continually present in the speaker's mind.
Your always on my mind
-All these thoughts running thru my head
-I think about you all the time
-Your always on my mind
-Got these thoughts running thru my head
-Running thru my head
-Don’t be coming in my life trying to save me
Rejecting the idea of someone entering their life to change or rescue them, emphasizing self-sufficiency.
Don’t be going in my life trying to change me
-Don’t be coming in my life trying to fix me
-The only need there’ll ever be is this me
-Listen when I speak it’s what I say ain’t nothin’ to misinterpret
Asserting the clarity of communication, insisting on clear understanding without misinterpretation.
Think about what you say and be carful how you word it
Advising the other person to choose words carefully to gain trust.
You’ll get my trust the day you earn it
Trust needs to be earned, suggesting a cautious approach to building trust.
I’m calm but assertive is it something you can work with
Describing their personality as composed yet assertive, questioning if the other person can deal with it.
Cause this is real life baby it ain’t a dream
Stating that reality is different from any idealized notion, and appearances might be deceiving.
Whatever you may have seen It will never to say a thing
Regardless of what the other person might have perceived or understood, it won't affect the speaker's truth.
And never expect me to change
Firm assertion not to change despite the complexities of relationships.
Still in a game when everybody has got two phones and two names
Implies deceit and infidelity are common in the game of relationships nowadays.
And I think about you all the time
Repeated thoughts and emotions about the person, emphasizing their constant presence in the speaker's mind.
Your always on my mind
-All these thoughts running thru my head
-I think about you all the time
-Your always on my mind
-Got these thoughts running thru my head
-Running thru my head
-And I think about you all the time
-Your always on my mind
-All these thoughts running thru my head
-I think about you all the time
-Your always on my mind
-Got these thoughts running thru my head
-Running thru my head
-And I think about you all the time
Reiterating the persistent thoughts about the person.
