Heaven Help Me
Deon Estus & George Michael 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
It'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 of Deon Estus feat. George Michael's "Heaven Help Me" reflect the emotional turmoil of a protagonist who is struggling to come to terms with a breakup. The opening lines "If you want it, you can have it, that's what you said, but I don't want the things that you leave behind" suggest that the singer's former lover has left behind material possessions, but what they really desire is their peace of mind. It is evident that the singer is still in love with their former lover, as they sing, "I still want you, baby." This implies that the breakup was not mutual, and the singer still wishes to reunite with their former lover.
The chorus "Heaven help me, heaven help me, talk to strangers, talk to strangers, heaven help me, over you, help me over you" reveals that the singer is struggling to move on and forget their past lover. They are seeking divine intervention to help them overcome the pain of the breakup. The line "I can't seem to take these changes, everything reminds my heart of you" shows that the singer is finding it difficult to adjust to the new reality of life without their lover.
Line by Line Meaning
If you want it, you can have it
You said I can have what I want
That's what you said
You gave me permission to have things
But I don't want the things that you leave behind
I am not interested in the things you no longer want
Take the pictures, take the windows and the walls
You can have all your belongings
But, baby, won't you leave me my peace of mind?
Please don't disturb my emotional well-being
Oh, such a waste of time
This is a pointless argument
Oh, such a waste
This disagreement is not worth it
I still want you, baby
I am still in love with you
Heaven help me, heaven help me
I need a divine intervention to overcome this pain
Talk to strangers, talk to strangers
I need to vent and get advice from anyone
Heaven help me
Please help me get through this
Over you
I want to move on from you
Help me over you
Assist me in getting over my feelings for you
I can't seem to take these changes
I'm struggling with the changes after our breakup
Everything reminds my heart of you
All things around me bring back memories of you
Thought the first time was the last time
I thought the relationship would last forever
We'd be here forever
We thought the relationship would never end
Now I find I'm having to search again
Now I have to find love again
It'll happen
I'll find love again
It's gotta happen
I believe I will find love again
Come together
I hope to meet the right person
I just wish somebody would tell me when
I don't know when that will be
You're someone else's lady
You are now in a relationship with someone else
So sad without you, darlin'
I am very unhappy without you
The gods of love can't help me now
I feel hopeless about love
Heaven help, heaven help
I need all the divine help I can get
Heaven, heaven, heaven, help me
I am calling upon the heavens to assist me

Deon Estus just died today 😢 Now they are both gone...☹️ They were both amazingly talented. ❤️
@shuyuyu
So many people think of George Michael when they hear this song. Deon Estus. This Deon Estus who in his own right is a brilliant musician. This song brings back so many painful yet wonderful memories of my adolescence . Thank you Deon.
@lovegoddess3912
shuyuyu well said & so true
@JenX_1973
shuyuyu Well said! One of my fave songs. Deon was an amazing musician. So sad he never got the credit he so rightly deserved!
@patricia-annecockburn9656
I totally agree with you. Wham was a wonderful group, but this is all Deon Estus. I don't like the way they totally side tracked Deon here. Give credit where it's due. George Michael's is phenomenal, but Deon is an amazing musician.
@catherha1
Yes indeed. I never even paid attention or realized that was George on background vocals. Bless Deon Estus. Beautiful voice.
@gingerkyriakos6968
This is all GM,unless GM copied Deon's style and had made it his trademark. Anyway,I really like Deon but knowing all the GM's work it is pretty clear who was in charge of this song..
@jeanettestone151
This is a beautiful rendition alas Deon Estus recently passed away. He’s back to making music with George!! May they both Rest In Peace
@garysmith8073
Damn !!!!! Didn't know that when ????
@jeanettestone151
Sorry I didn’t answer sooner. Deon passed away a year ago. He was 65.
