Little Heart
Amarante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you're right
When you took your eyes off of me
I know you're right
Because my love's not big enough
My love's not big enough
My love's not big enough
It's cold where you once laid
Your scent it burns a hole in me
I see your face
My home that's now his
Because my love's not big enough
My love's not big enough
My love's not big enough
My love's not big enough
'Cause my love's not big enough
My love's not big enough
The lyrics in Amarante's song Little Heart express a feeling of heartbreak and a sense of inadequacy. The opening line, "You know you were the best of me?" suggests that the singer is addressing a former lover who was very important to them. The line "When you took your eyes off of me" hints at some form of abandonment or neglect that caused the relationship to end. The repetition of "I know you're right" suggests a sense of acceptance and resignation on the part of the singer, as if they are acknowledging that their love was not enough to keep the relationship going.
The chorus, which repeats the line "My love's not big enough" multiple times, drives home the sense of inadequacy that the singer feels. It's a heartbreaking confession that their love, despite their best efforts, was not enough to sustain the relationship. The final verse, with the lines "It's cold where you once laid/Your scent it burns a hole in me" paints a vivid picture of the intensity of the singer's feelings. Even though the relationship has ended, the emotions and memories associated with it still linger and continue to affect the singer.
Overall, "Little Heart" is a powerful exploration of the pain of heartbreak and the feeling of not being enough in a relationship. Its somber, melancholic melody complements the bittersweet tone of the lyrics beautifully.

I know you're right
I understand and accept your opinion.
When you took your eyes off of me

The aroma of you physically hurts me.
I see your face
Your countenance presents itself before me.
My home that's now his
The place that used to be mine is now inhabited by someone else.

Once again, because my love isn't strong enough.
My love's not big enough

Your songs always make me feel like getting out of bed, open the window, and sit on my window sill while looking at the stars and listening to the music.
So tonight, I did just that. And man, I hope this will become a habit, because it's the best feeling ever !
