Heart Crush
BJ The Chicago Kid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So tired of lying
Past the point of dying
No compromising
And that fire we had girl just couldn't survive the rain
Heard the weather man telling us that it was gonna shower some pain
Sometimes we want to work so bad we stay too long
'Cause too much's how two hearts crush
Sometimes it gets too much
A lot of everything but no love
Just too much
That's how two hearts crush
Arguing about everything
And having sex just to make me happy, yeah
Our folks think we got everything (they don't know)
But they don't know that we so unhappy
Every time I hear a love song on the radio
I think of what we used to have but ain't got no more
Like that fire, that fire we had girl just couldn't survive the rain (the rain)
Heard the weather man telling us that it was gonna shower some pain (but sometimes)
Sometimes we want to work so bad we stay too long
Then too long turns to too much
'Cause too much is how two hearts crush
Sometimes it gets too much
A lot of everything but no love
Just too much
That's how two hearts crush
I swear it feel like pain got a thang for me
It's like love want me to be in pain and want me to leave
I swear it feel like pain got a thang for me
It's like love want me to be in pain and want me to leave
I swear it feel like pain got a thang for me
It's like love want me to be in pain and want me to leave
I swear it feel like pain got a thang for me
It's like love want me to be in pain and want me to leave
The lyrics of "Heart Crush" by BJ The Chicago Kid delve into the complexities of a failing relationship. The singer starts expressing his frustrations, tired of trying to save the relationship and lying to himself about its state. He admits that it's past the point of dying and there is no compromise left. He reminisces about the fire they once had, which couldn't survive the rain. Despite the weatherman's warning of the upcoming shower of pain, they didn't prepare themselves for the fall out, which has led them to argue about everything.
The chorus of the song focuses on the idea that sometimes one wants to work hard and try their very best to ensure the relationship doesn't fail, but in doing so, they stay too long, and what was once a labor of love becomes too much. This overcommitment ends up crushing the two hearts, unable to coexist without love. The lyrics further go on to express that what they have now isn't love, and no matter how much they try, it's just too much of everything but no love. It's a poignant description of a relationship where the two parties are too deep in it, but it's not serving them anymore.
The repetition of the lines, "I swear it feels like pain got a thang for me" and "It's like love wants me to be in pain and wants me to leave," suggests the helplessness one feels when they realize they can't keep the relationship alive. Overall, the song is a powerful reminder to recognize when it's time to let go.
