Tell It To My Heart
Hugo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't wanna hurt me baby,
But you're leaving town.
It shouldn't take more than love,
To make you turn around.

I'm the one who wouldn't let you down,
When your heart was calling.
You never realised the promises like,
'Catch me now I'm falling'.

(CHORUS:)
Tell it to my heart then just let me go,
I won't let ya see the hurt I wont show,
I don't wanna be the last to know.
If we can't go on, just a big mistake,
Tell it to my heart.
It's only my heart you'll break.

Now it takes more than words,
To throw it all away.
But I guess you had your fill,
Coz you ain't got nothing to say.

But when ya needed to take some time,
Oh, I was waitin'.
You never gave me a reason to doubt,
But people change, and you're changing.





(CHORUS)

This guy needs to be fronting Journey.

Before Arnel Pineda, the record company wanted Hugo Valenti to front Journey, but Neal Schon was freaked out on how much Hugo looks and sounds like Steve Perry. And as you know, Schon loathes the fact that it was Steve Perry made Journey on the map, not his powerful guitar riffs and solos. Schon pulled the plug on Hugo Valenti, which was a big mistake because Arnel Pineda didn't have a new Journey hit songs in the last 11 years. Journey is now their own tribute band to bank on SP era classic hit songs on their karaoke tours, since the failure of AP's 2nd album Eclipse (2011).
