My Heart
Gabrielle Aplin Lyrics

The lyrics to Gabrielle Aplin's song "My Heart" describe a situation in which the singer feels lost and alone, but finds comfort in the presence of someone else. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer has made a mistake or experienced a setback of some kind, and realizes that they cannot overcome it on their own. The feeling of being lost and helpless is further emphasized in the lines "I am nothing now / And it's been so long / Since I heard a sound / The sound of my only hope."

However, the singer finds solace in the presence of another person, and implores them to stay with them. The lines "Stay with me / This is what I need please" express the singer's sense of vulnerability and need for support. The song then takes a turn toward the hopeful, with the singer declaring that they will listen this time. The repeated refrain of "Sing us a song / And we'll sing it back to you / We could sing our own / But what would it be without you" represents the idea that collaboration and mutual support are essential for finding one's way through difficult times.

Finally, the song concludes with the declaration that the singer's heart beats for only the other person, emphasizing the deep connection and sense of dependency that has developed between them. The repeated refrain of "My heart is yours" represents the idea that the singer's emotional well-being is deeply connected to the other person.
