Beyonce (Feat Shakira) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I believe that harmonies are colors
Every time I paint it sharpens my harmony
Yesterday I tried to paint you
But the colors weren't beautiful enough
Your love goes beyond what I can say

Love,
Beyonce




Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Beyonce expresses her belief that harmony is like colors. She believes that just like colors, harmonies also need to be sharp and well-defined to create something beautiful. When she tried to paint a portrait of someone she loves, the colors she used were not beautiful enough to capture the depth and complexity of their love. This person's love goes beyond what Beyonce can express through her art, and she acknowledges that with the line "your love goes beyond what I can say".

Yesterday I tried to paint you

But the colors weren't beautiful enough
