I didn't mean to let you down
You have to believe it
I don't know what went
Through my mind
But now I can see
That I waited too long
Just to be right here with you
But I couldn't think of anything better
I should have told you so
Baby open your heart
Wont you give me a second chance
And I'll be here forever
Open your heart
Let me show you how much I care
And I will make you understand
If you open your heart
To love me once again
Ill try to make it up to you
I want you to know
Baby I swear that I'll be true
And never let go
If I waited too long
To tell you how much it matters
Just to be right here with you
But I couldn't think of anything better
I should have told you so
Baby open your heart
Wont you give me a second chance
And I'll be here forever
Open your heart
Let me show you how much I care
And I will make you understand
If you open your heart
To love me once again
We could relive this pain and sorrow
But we better do it in time
Start over here and save tomorrow
I wanna make you mine
Open your heart with a chance
And I'll be here forever
Open your heart and I'll care
And I will make you understand
Oh baby,
If you open your heart
To love me once again
Baby open your heart
Wont you give me a second chance
And I'll be here forever
Open your heart
Let me show you how much I care
And I will make you understand
If you open your heart
To love me once again
The song “Open Your Heart” by Westlife talks about a man who has realized his mistake of not being vocal about his love for the person he loves. He didn’t know what went through his mind before, but now he sees that he waited too long to tell her how much it mattered to have her beside him. He tries to make it up to her by saying that he will be true to her and never let go. He asks for a second chance, to open her heart once again for him and allow him to show how much he cares about her.
The lyrics of this song show the vulnerability of a person who is in love, who can make mistakes and regrets them in hindsight. The emotions are raw and heartfelt, depicting the feelings of someone who realizes that the love of their life might slip away if they don’t act soon. The song also talks about the value of love and how it needs to be nurtured and taken care of, which is a very relatable theme in the world of music.

Timeless classic Westlife song. I like this song more than the majority of their singles in their first album. Truly underrated.

Many hate boybands because they said its lame and corny, they insist rnb, rock and heavy metal, but they do not know that boyband is the most balanced type of music thats why you dont feel sick and tired even how many decades passed by... that is because boyband is the most perfect genre of music...
@kryhard
it all stated from the beatles, the beach boys, and the temptations
