Don't Waste Your Heart
Safeguarding Hearts: Embracing Self-Realization
Lyrics
For the life of me I can't believe
Expressing disbelief or astonishment at a situation or action.
That you're on your knees beggin' please
Describing a moment where the person is pleading while on their knees.
All the pushing away and puttin' down
Referring to actions of distancing and demeaning.
Can't you see you're gettin' the run around
Highlighting the realization of being deceived or misled.
Oh it's plain to see you'd rescue me
Suggesting that the other person could provide emotional rescue.
From my loneliness so called unhappiness
Expressing a desire for relief from loneliness and perceived unhappiness.
Oh I didn't mean to cause you pain
Acknowledging unintentional infliction of pain.
I've got nothin' to lose and nothin' to gain
Stating a lack of vested interests or stakes in the situation.
And don't waste your heart on a wild thing
Advising against investing emotions in someone unpredictable.
She's got a soul that won't settle on one thing
Describing the unpredictable and fickle nature of the person in question.
Whoa this bird can't sing when you've tied its wings
Metaphorically describing limitations on the person's ability to commit.
Don't waste your heart on me

It's funny how the girls get burned
Commenting on the ironic or unfortunate outcomes for certain individuals.
And honey as far as I'm concerned
Expressing the speaker's perspective on a change in circumstances.
The tables have turned

And don't waste your heart on a wild thing
Repeating advice against investing emotions in an unpredictable person.
She's got a soul that won't settle on one thing

Whoa this bird can't sing when you've tied its wings
Using a metaphor to emphasize the person's inability to thrive in certain conditions.
Don't waste your heart on me

And I'm here to apologize
