My Heart
♪♫Paramore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am finding out that maybe I was wrong
That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone
Stay with me
This is what I need please

Will you sing us a song
And we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own
But what would it be without you

I am nothing now
And its been so long
Since I've heard a sound
The sound of my only hope
This time I will be listening

Will you sing us a song
And we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own
But what would it be without you

This heart, it beats
Beats for only you





My heart is yours

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "My Heart" by Paramore reveal a sense of vulnerability and the need for human connection. The first verse suggests that the singer has made a mistake and feels overwhelmed, unable to handle their situation by themselves. "Stay with me, this is what I need please" is a plea for support and the assurance that they are not alone. The chorus follows with a request for a song, as music has the power to bring people together and provide comfort. The singer recognizes that they are nothing without this connection and that hope lies in the sound of others' voices. The repetition of the phrase "will you sing us a song, and we'll sing it back to you" highlights the communal nature of music and the importance of sharing in the experience.


The second verse continues the theme of dependence on the voices of others, with the singer stating that their heart beats for only one person. The final line, "my heart is yours," reinforces the idea that a meaningful connection has been made and that the singer has surrendered their heart to someone else.


Overall, "My Heart" is a poignant reflection on the human need for support and the power of music to provide solace and bring people together. The song's emphasis on the importance of community and connection has made it a fan favorite and one of Paramore's most beloved tracks.

How can I decide what’s right
When you’re clouding up my mind?
I can’t win your losing fight all the time
How can I ever own what’s mine
When you’re always taking sides
But you won’t take away my pride
No not this time
Not this time

How did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

The truth is hiding in your eyes
And it’s hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood
But you think that I can’t see
What kind of man that you are
If you’re a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out
On my own
(I’m screaming, “I love you so!”)
On my own
(My thoughts you can’t decode)

How did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well, yeah
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

Do you see what we’ve done?
We’ve gone and made such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we’ve done?
We’ve gone and made such fools of ourselves

Yeah…!

How did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well, yeah, yeah
How did we get here?
[Album version:] Well, I used to know you so well
[Acoustic version:] Why won’t you show yourself?

I think I know
I think I know

Ooh, there is something
I see in you
It might kill me
I want it to be true
