Heaven Help Me
Deon Estus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's what you said
But I don't want the things that you leave behind
Take the pictures, take the windows and the walls
But baby won't you leave me my peace of mind
Oh such a waste of time
Oh such a waste
I still want you baby
Heaven help me heaven help me
Talk to strangers talk to strangers
Heaven help me
Over you
Help me over you
I can't seem to take these changes
Everything reminds my heart of you
Thought the first time was the last time
We'd be here forever
Now I find I'm having to search again
I'll happen
It's gotta happen
Come together
I just wish somebody would tell me when
Oh such a waste of time
Oh such a waste
I still want you baby
Heaven help Heaven help
Heaven, heaven heaven help me
Heaven help Heaven help
Heaven, heaven heaven help me
You're someone else's lady
So sad without you darlin'
The gods of love can't help me now
Heaven help Heaven help
Heaven, heaven heaven help me
The lyrics to Deon Estus's song Heaven Help Me is about the pain and difficulty of moving on from a past relationship. The song starts with the singer expressing their desire to leave things behind but wanting to keep their peace of mind. The first verse is about the dilemma of having to let go of shared possessions and memories but not wanting to let go of the love they still feel for their former partner. The chorus "Heaven help me" is a plea for divine intervention to help them get over the person they love.
The second verse highlights the struggle of the singer, who thought the breakup would be the end and never expected to have to start searching for love again. The singer expresses their hope that "it's gotta happen" and prays for someone to tell them when the healing process will occur. They acknowledge that everything around them reminds them of their former lover, making it hard to move on. The repetition of "Heaven help me" and "talk to strangers" highlights the singer's desperation, someone they turn to for help and their need to keep moving.
In the end, the singer seems to come to terms with the reality of the situation, acknowledging that their previous lover is with someone else. However, their pain is still acute, and they acknowledge that the gods of love cannot help them now. The song's emotional depth and honesty make it a relatable representation of heartbreak.

I totally agree that this song is an underrated and an OVERLOOKED masterpiece. Deon's singing is fabulous. You would think George Michael would overshadow him in the backup vocals, but Deon superbly holds his own!!!!!

I'd be honored if some fans of Deon & George would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YouTube performance of HEAVEN HELP ME https://youtu.be/Htt1KmYIngE in tribute to this wonderful collaboration. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace & stay safe.
