Hearts On Fire
John Lindberg Trio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I guess I wrote this one for you
Just a piece of paper and a memory
I can't believe it's true
How 'bout you?

Had everything we could imagine
That wasn't good enough
You wanted to try your luck in another world

You said our love would last forever
I believed every word you said
I didn't see it coming
You turned the page and walked away

Hearts on fire
Breaking in two




Surrounded by memories
Memories of you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to John Lindberg Trio's song Hearts on Fire capture the pain of heartbreak and the lingering memories that remain after a relationship has ended. The singer is addressing someone they cared deeply for, someone they wrote this song for. They cannot believe that their love has ended, and they ask if the other person feels the same way. The singer reflects on the fact that they had everything they could imagine, but that wasn't good enough for the other person. They were seeking something else, something that the singer could not provide.


Despite their belief that their love would last forever, the other person turned the page and walked away. The singer is left with a broken heart and surrounded by memories of a love that is no longer there. The imagery of "hearts on fire, breaking in two" is particularly powerful, representing the intensity of the love that once was and the painful aftermath of its dissolution. This song is a beautiful and honest representation of the pain of lost love and the hope that someone who has been hurt can still hold on to.
