The Heart Has Its Reasons
Azure Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was walking through the dark
Trying to find a way
To make you stay
With me
But I am no match for your gods
They have something I have not
A perfect love
That I can't meet
I loved you more
I know that now
You can't change nature's wishes
And she wishes
While you were searching for your gods
I turned my back on love
Trying to leave you be
So you could find your way
Back to me
The song "The Heart Has Its Reasons" by Azure Ray is a poignant reflection on the nature of love and relationships. The opening lines set the scene for the rest of the song, as the singer describes her lover's search for spiritual fulfillment ("While you were searching for your gods") while she struggles to preserve their romantic relationship ("I was walking through the dark/Trying to find a way/To make you stay/With me"). She acknowledges that her love for him is strong, but ultimately, she cannot compete with the allure of his spiritual beliefs ("But I am no match for your gods/They have something I have not/The promise of/A perfect love/That I can't meet").
The chorus features a beautiful repetition of the line "I loved you more," illustrating the depth of the singer's emotional investment in the relationship. She recognizes, however, that their love was never meant to be ("You can't change nature's wishes/And she wishes") and decides to step back and allow her lover to pursue his own path ("While you were searching for your gods/I turned my back on love/Trying to leave you be/So you could find your way/Back to me").
Overall, the lyrics of "The Heart Has Its Reasons" are achingly beautiful and speak to the universal themes of love, loss, and the pursuit of spiritual meaning. The singer's plaintive vocals and the simple, haunting instrumentation combine to create a deeply moving emotional experience that will resonate with anyone who has ever loved and lost.

While you were searching for your gods
While you were looking for something perfect and unattainable,
I was walking through the dark
I was going through a difficult time,
Trying to find a way
I was attempting to find a solution,
To make you stay
To keep you close to me,
But I am no match for your gods
However, I can't compete with what you're searching for,
They have something I have not
Your gods offer something that I cannot,
The promise of a perfect love
A love that is flawless and without fault,
That I can't meet
A love that I cannot give you,
I loved you more
I cared for you deeply,
I know that now
Realizing it after the fact,
You can't change nature's wishes
When it comes down to it, we can't fight fate,
And she wishes
Fate dictates that we must follow certain paths,
While you were searching for your gods
While you were looking for something perfect and unattainable,
I turned my back on love
I distanced myself from loving you,
Trying to leave you be
I was attempting to let you go,
So you could find your way
Hoping that you would eventually find your own way back to me,
Back to me
And we could be together once again,

While you were searching for your gods
I was walking trough the dark
Trying to find a way
To make you stay

And I'm not match for your gods
They have something I have not
The promessa of perfect love

I loved you more
I know that know
You can't change nature's wishes
Uh ah uh(x2)
While you were searching for your gods
I turned my back on hearts
Trying to leave you be
So you could find your way
Back to me
Uh ah uh(x2)
Enquanto você estava à procura de seus deuses
Eu estava andando através da escuridão
Tentando encontrar uma maneira
Para fazer você ficar
Comigo
E eu não vou corresponder para os seus deuses
Eles têm algo que eu não tenho
A Promessa de amor perfeito
Que eu não posso ser
Eu te amei mais
Sei que sabe
Você não pode mudar os desejos da natureza
Uh uh ah (x2)
Enquanto você estava à procura de seus deuses
Virei as costas em corações
Tentando deixar você ser
Assim, você poderá encontrar o seu caminho
Back To Me
Uh uh ah (x2)
