Old Heart
Hugo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Still young got things to become
So don't give up on me
Maybe he's just not the one
Still green things need to be seen
So don't you stop to breath
Maybe we just need to move on

Oh old heart
Don't you die
I know he left all of these scars
I know he left all of these whys
Oh my mind was in denial
I couldn't run after my stars
I couldn't just tell you goodbye

I am not done
Can't break through these walls
Why am I not falling apart
Let me just fall apart
Cant move on
I've waited so long
How long does it take to forget
Did you already forget

Oh old heart
Don't you die
I know he left all of these scars
I know he left all of these whys
Oh my mind was in denial




I couldn't run after my stars
I couldn't just tell you goodbye
