Than be here alone, lookin' at the phone
Goin' over every word you said just like a broken record
Playin' the same sad song that I can't turn off
It starts with glitter, the shine of the shimmer
The flash of the picture, then after that
The fade of the glimmer, the drop of the hammer
Love just don't care who's in its path
Love won't slow down, it don't look back
It don't give a damn who it tears apart
It just moves on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
Love has no heart
What fools we are to think
We're the only ones who figured out
How to rise above
The fury of
The heat of the moment, the comin' and goin'
The never-quite-knowin' if it's all done
The givin', the takin', the buildin', the breakin'
And just when you're thinkin' you found the one
Love just don't care who's in its path
Love won't slow down, it don't look back
It don't give a damn who it tears apart
It just moves on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
Love has no heart
Ooh
It starts with glitter, the shine of the shimmer
The flash of the picture, then after that
The fade of the glimmer, the drop of the hammer
The pieces that shatter, the aftermath
Love just don't care who's in its path
Love won't slow down, it don't look back
It don't give a damn who it tears apart
It just moves on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
Love has no heart
The song "Love Has No Heart" by Carly Pearce is an emotional ballad that touches upon the painful experience of heartbreak. The opening lyrics reveal a sense of loneliness and despair as the singer is left alone to dwell on the words of her lost love. Pearce masterfully captures the agony of replaying a conversation over and over in your mind through the line, "Goin' over every word you said just like a broken record." The juxtaposition of feeling like there is nothing else to do with the time and yet feeling helpless to move on sets the melancholic tone for the rest of the song.
As the song progresses, the melody shifts and the energy picks up, underscoring the idea that love can be both a beautiful and destructive force. The chorus highlights this tension by personifying love as a heartless entity that doesn't care about the people in its path. The use of repetition in lines like, "Love just don't care who's in its path," creates a haunting echo that emphasizes the relentlessness of this emotion. Pearce also delves into the disillusionment that often comes with heartbreak when she sings,"What fools we are to think we're the only ones who figured out how to rise above the fury of..." The ellipsis leaves the listener hanging, amplifying the sense of uncertainty that accompanies ending a relationship.
Ultimately, "Love Has No Heart" is a powerful track that explores the intangible nature of love and its ability to both uplift and bring to ruin. Pearce's emotive vocals and clever lyrics work hand in hand to create a song that is both poignant and relatable.

So true... just so so true, this song reflects my whole life entirely. Love does not have a heart, its too complicated and as soon as you begin to think that you found the one like I thought, they stab you in the back... love turns, love deceives. Romantic kind of love does at least, my love from Jesus is the truth and He has given me so much more of His love than any romantic partner ever has! I had a guy that just took off and left me one day and never told me why. Does anybody have a similar experience on here? :[
@southerncross5360
Yes, and it’s hard to heal but give yourself time while loving yourself.
@blackwolf9893
@@southerncross5360 Thank you, sometimes in this world I think God and myself, is the only one whom I can only trust. I think if I do ever find love, " true", love that is uncondiotnial and devoted, that of which could only be found by one whom loves the other more than themselves... it is going to be only by mere fate. I think that for now, you are right I am going to need to love myself first. Thank you for your kind words, they are so true. I recently have liked another guy too, and he has a girlfriend. It really sucks, I know you're a complete stranger... but perhaps you understand, perhaps you've been through a similar situation. I really like this man, I'm in love with him... I can't stop thinking about him, I want to be with him more than ever and there is no one else in my town that has shown the amount of kindness he has to me. He's also very flirtatious every time he sees me, is there something about his girlfriend he's not telling me? I don't know what to do, I need a sign. Should I just let him go? Or should I wait and see? :] Meanwhile still trying to focus on my own life goals in the meantime, this has just been plaguing me lately. Please, please let me know :]
