Give Me Back My Heart
Corina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a time when things were so right
Now it seems that everything is wrong
And how I'd love to change it in one night
But down inside I know that love is wrong
The pain I felt, has hurt more than my heart
The things you've done, I just can't forgive
I was young, you took me from the start
But now I've grown and I just want to leave

Give me back my heart
'Cause you don't really love me
Let me be alone
'Cause I know you don't care
Please don't try to say
That I don't understand you
I know what is mine
And I don't care to share

You must have thought that I was young and blind
I was young, but I could plainly see
I never thought, a broken heart I'd find
But when I did, the heart belonged to me
The way I feel, I know would never end
How many times has this gone on before
You told me once, you'd always be my friend
And now I know what's fair in love and war

And I don't care to share
Oh no, no, I don't care to share
Give me back my heart
Because that heart belongs to me
I know you don't care
No, you never cared
Give me back my heart
Give me back my heart

I know it hurts to have to say goodbye
To survive is something I must do
My broken heart, you left it here to die
I hope in time the pain will come to you
The love I had, I had for only one
But, you in turn, loved many more than me
I can't believe the things that you have done
And now my love its time to set me free
