My Heart
Colby Stead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is nothing else my heart can say,

It's given its voice an emotional wreck.

There is nothing else my heart can be,

It's locked itself up, it's no longer free.
Beat, beat, beat, beat goes the drum,

From my head to my feet, i am numb.

Beat, beat, beat, beat goes my heart,

Why won't the feeling start?

There is nothing else my heart can do,

It's given up the strength and the courage too.

There is nothing else my heart can take,

It is falling and about to break.

Beat, beat, beat, beat goes the drum,

From my head to my feet, i am numb.

Beat, beat, beat, beat goes my heart,

Why won't the feeling start?

My heart, my heart.

I heard my heart say to me,

I am ever so sorry. (repeat x3)





Beat, beat, beat, beat goes my heart.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Colby Stead's song My Heart describe a person who is feeling emotionally drained and numb. The writer portrays the heart as if it has taken on a life of its own, expressing its feelings through the beat of the drum and the pulse of blood rushing through the body. The lines "there is nothing else my heart can say" and "there is nothing else my heart can be" suggest that the person is unable to articulate their emotions, possibly due to the pain and exhaustion they are experiencing. The repetition of "beat, beat, beat, beat" portrays the heart as a drum, emphasizing the physical aspect of emotion and the way it affects the body.


The line "my heart, my heart" represents a moment of realization that the person's heart is almost a separate entity from themselves, with its own actions and responses. The closing lines "I heard my heart say to me, I am ever so sorry" are a poignant conclusion to the song, as they suggest that despite the pain and turmoil the person is experiencing, they are still able to empathize with the heart and the role it plays in their life. The use of an apology implies a level of responsibility, which could indicate that the person is taking steps to address their emotional state.
