My Heart Is Bleeding
Fats Domino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who said we would 'part Bye and Bye
When you left I broke down and cried
And my tears just rolled from my eyes
I was more dead than alive
When you waved your last Good-Bye
Please come back Darlin' please try
'Cause my heart is bleeding inside
Oh I can't live without you you know
Change your mind and be kind
For I'm in love with you so
I was wrong and you was right
Oh I can't sleep day or night
So my Love I'm lost in this fight
And everything will be alright
The song My Heart Is Bleeding by Fats Domino is a classic example of a heart-wrenching love song. The lyrics express the anguish and heartache of the singer who has been abandoned by his lover. The song begins with the singer stating that it was his lover who initiated the separation, not him. However, despite this fact, he is the one who is suffering the most. He confesses that he is barely alive and that tears keep rolling down his eyes. The pain and emptiness that he feels are almost palpable in his voice.
As the song progresses, he pleads with his lover to come back to him. He admits that he was wrong, and she was right. He cannot sleep day or night, and he feels lost in this fight. However, despite all this, he believes that everything will be alright as soon as his lover returns. The last few lines of the song are a heartfelt plea to his lover to come back into his loving arms.
The song is a beautiful rendition of the classic love story of two people who have been separated but still have profound feelings for each other. The singer's voice conveys the tenderness and vulnerability that often accompanies a broken heart. The song is a soulful tribute to the pain of love lost and the hope of its renewal.
