Open Your Heart
Jessica Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Good for you for figuring out
All the ways you've done me wrong
Forgive me if I don't celebrate it
With a dance and a song
What's your excuse
That you took so long
I could have put it in a letter
So that you could read along

You didn't listen to what I said to you
Didn't see the fault in saying things that weren't true
Didn't show me that your love for me was true

Bless your heart
I'm over you
Bless your heart
The season's through

What do you expect me to do
With your apologies
That you handed out
And took right back
And now you're saying to me
That this was all up to me
How quickly you forget
You asked it to be

You didn't listen to what I said to you
Didn't see the fault in saying things that weren't true
Didn't show me that your love for me was true

Bless your heart
it's overdue
Bless your heart
You know it's true

It shouldn't come as a surprise
It happened right before your eyes
I told you what I need
I'm not the type to plead
I'm fresh out of tries
I'm sick of your lies
It's too late to get your way

Bless your heart
I thought you knew
Bless your heart
I'm leaving you

Bless your heart
I've gotta tell you




Bless your heart
You and me are through
