I'll give you my heartbeat

Offering one's own vulnerability and emotions (heartbeat, tear, and flesh) as a gesture of connection or love.

And a bit of tear and flesh

Symbolic offer of emotional vulnerability (tear and flesh) despite it not being much.

It's not very much but while it's there

Recognizing the limited offering but willing to share what little is available.

You can have it, you can have it

Offering what's available, implying a willingness to give what one can, no matter how small.
