Heartbeats
Amy Diamond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't figure out
Is it meant to be this way
Easy words so hard to say
I can't live without
Knowing how you feel
Know if this is real

Tell me am I mistaken
Cause I don't have another heart for breakin'
Please don't let me go
I just wanna stay
Can't you feel my heartbeats
Giving me away

I just want to know
If you too feel afraid
I can feel your heartbeats
Giving you away
Giving us away

I can't understand
How it's making sense
That we put up such defense
When all you need to know
No matter what you do
I'm just as scared as you

Tell me am I mistaken
Cause I don't have another heart for breakin'
Please don't let me go
I just wanna stay
Can't you feel my heartbeats
Giving me away

I just want to know
If you too feel afraid
I can feel your heartbeats
Giving you away
Giving us away

Please don't let me go
I just wanna stay
Can't you feel my heartbeats
Giving me away

I just want to know
If you too feel afraid
I can feel your heartbeats




Giving you away
Giving us away

Overall Meaning

In "Heartbeats," Amy Diamond sings about the intricacies of developing feelings for someone and the anxieties and insecurities that come with it. She starts by expressing her confusion over whether her feelings are reciprocated and whether the other person is also struggling to express themselves. She acknowledges that words come hard and that it's difficult to be vulnerable, but still says that she can't live without knowing how the other person feels.


As the song progresses, it becomes clear that both parties are apprehensive about making the first move, and both are afraid of getting hurt. The line "I'm just as scared as you" is particularly poignant because it highlights the common ground that exists between them. They're both feeling nervous and unsure, but they're fighting their fears to see if the relationship is worth pursuing.


The repetition of "can't you feel my heartbeats giving me away" underscores the emotional intensity of the situation. Even without saying anything, their bodies give them away, and their hearts are so exposed that they can't hide their feelings. Ultimately, the song is about taking a chance on love, despite the risks and the fear, and hoping that the other person feels the same way.

Been 4 years now , never gets old
My gf and me love this song so much
Having a fight right now
She doesn't wanna see me
So back at this song again
God this gives me so much reasons to love her even more .
If you are seeing this I am sorry
I heart you so much
Sorry things took a turn this away
Hope you will forgive me...
Our song

I have heard this song 5 years ago. Now, listen again, it still touches to my heart. Thank you Amy Diamond for the best song ever !

Love Yourself

I just fall in love with this song and her voice, its so lovely and pleasant.

SilverWolf2220grl

Makes me think of innocent and tired love, like all of the outer presences have made her voice really quiet. But just because it's quiet doesn't mean it isn't strong and to the point. I've been a fan of Amy's work for years, and it will continue the same. This song and her voice calm me. <3

I just had this song waiting for me when I got home today from a lovely 11 yr old girl whom I have taken under my wings from Church as her mother passed away last July. We have been bonding for quite sometime. I just cried and cried listening to this. I love you Caitlin so much honey/ Punk as I call you.
