Within My Heart
Dead by April Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was magical when I felt your touch
It's a strong memory still today
It feels so good with your body close
Those days are gone, time flies away
And it's what I'm dreaming of still today
But within my heart you'll have a place deep within my heart
A special place for you
No matter what was said and done within my heart
You'll always be inside my heart as long as I live)
Every little beat within my heart
It's still beating for us
Every little piece of my heart
It's still longing for us
I am not strong enough, I know
I cannot ever let you go
Within my heart, within my heart
(Within my heart, within my heart)
Within my heart, within my heart
In my heart
What once was strong and filled with passion
Has withered away and turned to nothing
But you're all I'm dreaming of still today
(It's sad that what we had is dead and gone
But within my heart, you'll have a place within my heart
A special place forever, no matter what happens
You have a place in my heart, within my heart
For eternity)
Every little beat within my heart
It's still beating for us
Every little piece of my heart
It's still longing for us
I am not strong enough, I know
I cannot ever let you go
Within my heart, within my heart
(Within my heart, within my heart)
Within my heart, within my heart
Every night I have this dream
Will I find the right way back again
Into your open arms?
Every night you're in my dreams
And I know that we will meet again
It's written in the stars
And within my heart
Every little beat within my heart
It's still beating for us
Every little piece of my heart
It's still longing for us
I am not strong enough, I know
I cannot ever let you go
Within my heart, within my heart
Within my heart, within my heart
The song Within My Heart by Dead by April is a nostalgic reflection of a past relationship. The lyrics express the deep memories that still linger within the singer's heart. The opening lines, "You remember me, you remember us, it was magical when I felt your touch," create an impression of the singer experiencing the vivid memories of a once thriving relationship. The lines "Every little beat within my heart, it's still beating for us" and "Every little piece of my heart, it's still longing for us" emote the intensity of the singer's desire to relive the romance of the past.
However, the song also expresses a sense of acceptance: "What once was strong and filled with passion has withered away and turned to nothing." It is a realization that the relationship has come to an end, and the singer's longing for what was once magical is now just a memory. The repeated line, "Within my heart, within my heart" emphasizes the idea of holding onto a memory that still holds a special place in one's heart. The lyrics express the hope and longing to meet again someday, perhaps to relive what they had in the past.
