Heart
B. Will Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I guess I was wrong
I thought I was bulletproof, until you came along
I used to throw away everything until I heard you say
“Take this light and hold it close to you.”
She said “Think of me, when there is darkness inside of you.”
Out of the cold
Had something to hold, it was warm and new
I used to throw away everything until I heard you say
“Take this light and hold it close to you.”
She said “Think of me, when there is darkness inside of you.”
So watch as my heart explodes in front of you
A million pieces of me are flying towards you
Please cover your face I don’t want this to hurt you
And I believe that I can see through you
I believe that I am free from you
The colours have changed
And it’s getting dark but the light inside had started to fade until I hear you say
“Take this light and hold it close to you.”
She said “Think of me, when there is darkness inside of you.”
I saw you, I saw you standing there
Who was the one holding your hand?
Who was the one, standing where you stand?
So I just walked away and I didn’t say a word
'Til you saw me, looking back at you
We both just stood and stared
And then I closed my eyes
So watch as my heart explodes in front of you
A million pieces of me are flying towards you
Please cover your face I don’t want this to hurt you
And I believe that I can see through you
I believe that I am free from you
In B. Will's song "Heart in 2", the lyrics describe the emotions of someone who used to be strong and indestructible, until they meet someone who opens up their heart, making them vulnerable. They used to throw away everything, but the person they meet tells them to hold onto the light and think of them when there's darkness inside of them. The singer describes feeling something new and warm, which is changing the colors around them. But when they see the person they met holding someone else's hand, they walk away without a word. They later meet again and both just stare at each other until the singer closes their eyes.

I observed you, I noticed you were present
Who was the one holding your hand?
I wondered, who are you holding hands with?
Who was the one, standing where you stand?
Who is occupying the same spot as you?
So I just walked away and I didn’t say a word
Therefore, I left without saying anything
Til you saw me, looking back at you
Until you noticed me, glancing back at you
We both just stood and stared
We both remained frozen, gazing at one another
And then I closed my eyes
Afterwards, I shut my eyes
