Hearts in Armor
Unveiling Hearts: A Tale of Regret and Redemption
Lyrics
One more day
Expressing the passage of time, anticipating another day.
My heart's in armor
Describing a guarded or protected emotional state.
Though I meant to let you in
Intention to open up emotionally, allowing someone into the heart.
In an effort not to harm it
Trying to avoid causing emotional harm by keeping a distance.
I have missed my chance again
Regret for missing an opportunity to connect or build a relationship.
I was singing when I freed you
Singing metaphorically while setting someone free.
But my pride was just a veil
Admitting that pride masked true feelings.
I pretended not to need you
Pretending independence and not acknowledging emotional needs.
Now my heart tells a different tale
Contrasting pride with the genuine emotions of the heart.
And every hour that goes by
Feeling emotional toughness increasing with time.
The harder I become
Regret for allowing emotional resources to deplete.
Because I let that well run dry
Reflecting on a dry emotional well, a lack of emotional nourishment.
Because I left you unanswered
Leaving questions unanswered in a relationship.
Then like a fool I kept my secret
Keeping a personal truth hidden even when it seemed illogical.
When it made no sense to try
Choosing not to reveal something despite the futility of silence.
Now I can no longer keep it
Realizing the impossibility of keeping the secret any longer.
For it's late and the moon is high
Recognizing the lateness of the moment and the need for honesty.
And every hour that goes by
Reiteration of emotional toughness increasing over time.
The harder I become
Continued regret for the emotional neglect and depletion.
Because I let that well run dry
Emphasizing the consequence of leaving emotional needs unattended.
Because I left you unanswered
Repeating the theme of unanswered questions in the relationship.
One more day my heart's in armor
Repetition of the idea of a protected or guarded heart.
Though I did not see it then
Realizing the guarded state of the heart only in hindsight.
I would finish what you started
Expressing a desire to complete or mend what was left unfinished.
If I had that chance again
Expressing a wish to rectify missed opportunities in the past.
I would finish what you started
Reiterating the desire to complete what was left unfinished.
If I had that chance again
Expressing a hypothetical scenario of getting a second chance.
