Her Heart
Anthony Hamilton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had a habit of messing up
Staying out late and getting drunk
I let you down a thousand times
Broken promises
It's like I ran away from you
My career was my excuse
Until I saw you about to drown in your own tears
And as you cried in my arms
You woke up my heart
And I saw again what I found in you
'Cause her heart, her heart wont let me lose her
No matter how I try
I just cant say goodbye and lose her

When all the folks were said and done
You were there to welcome me home
I was convicted cause your love never wavered
I know you love me more than me
And you vowed to love through anything
I never had a kind of love that was forever

And as you cried in my arms
You woke up my heart
And I saw again what I found in you
'Cause her heart, her heart wont let me lose her
No matter how I try
I just cant say goodbye and lose her

'Cause her heart, her heart wont let me lose her
No matter how hard I try
I just cant say goodbye and lose her
No matter how hard I try
I just cant say goodbye and lose her




No matter how I try
I just cant say goodbye and lose her
