Heartless
Atheena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I always thought you'd be
All the lies and wrongs is tearing me apart
Who is this other guy
The one who is not me
I'm sorry that I can't be stronger than this
I trusted you
A wound that will leave me
All tattooed with scars
Just leave me be
I'm begging you please set me free
You will never change
I should have known
Right from the start
That love hurts
Love just hurts
I'm sorry that I can't be stronger than this
I trusted you
A big mistake
A wound that will leave me
All tattooed with scars
Just leave me be
I'm begging you please set me free
I'd give you the mountains
I'd give you the sea
I'd give you anything if you'd ask me
Cut out my heart to ease the pain
Cut out my heart
Leaving me heartless like you
I'm sorry that I can't be stronger than this
I trusted you
A wound that will leave me
All tattooed with scars
Just leave me be
I'm begging you please set me free
I'm sorry that I can't be stronger than this
I trusted you
A big mistake
A wound that will leave me
All tattooed with scars
Just leave me be
I'm begging you please set me free
In Atheena's song "Heartless," the singer expresses feelings of hurt, betrayal, and sadness after realizing that the person they trusted and loved has been lying to them and cheating on them with another person. The singer is torn apart by the lies and wrongdoings of their lover, and they feel that they are left with no other choice but to ask for freedom and to be left alone. They realize that they had put too much trust in the person who betrayed them, and they feel powerless and unable to move on from the hurt they have experienced. The singer also expresses a willingness to do anything for their lover, including giving away everything they have, even their heart, in hopes of easing the pain they feel. However, they acknowledge that the wound inflicted on them will leave them "all tattooed with scars" and that they will forever be changed by this experience.
Overall, the song is a powerful exploration of the pain and trauma that can come from trusting someone only to be betrayed by them. The singer's vulnerability and raw emotions are evident in the lyrics, and the message of the song is that sometimes, no matter how much we hope for it, love can hurt us deeply.
