Heartbeats
Grum/ Vocals by Michael MacDermid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's your life
Things may not always go right, for you
In those times
Just leave it behind
Cause sometimes you gotta play the game
Just to survive
Without losing yourself
It's a fight, it's true
It takes time
Don't have all the answers
No matter how hard it gets
Hold on to what's inside

Don't never let nobody bring you down girl
Don't never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful you are

In the dark
The paint chips have waited your heart
So deep
Can't you see
See the light in the distance
Open up your eyes, look, look to the sky
And believe
There's much more to life when you free
That's the key
And in time
You will find all the answers
Don't have to lose your pride
Hold on to what's inside

Don't never let nobody bring you down girl
Don't never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful you are
Don't never let nobody bring you down girl
Don't never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful you are

Don't care what they say anymore
There's no time to be insecure
I leave it all at the door

She staring at him in the face
She's taking it day by day
I'm finally on my way

Don't never let nobody bring you down girl
Don't never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful you are
Don't never let nobody bring you down girl
Don't never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful you are
Beautiful you are




Beautiful you are
Beautiful you are

One night to be confused
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away

Both under influence
We had divine scent
To know what to say
Mind is a razor blade

To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no

One night of magic rush
The start a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief

Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love

To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no

And you, you knew the hand of a devil
And you, kept us awake with wolves' teeth
Sharing different heartbeats in one night

To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough

And you, you…

my dad used to play this in the car when I was small, and we used to jam out to it together and shout the lyrics. I’m 18 now, and I listen to this song all the time. Miss you Dad.
