Condition Of My Heart
Justin Guarini Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How much time has passed since you said goodbye.
Got your message today asking how am I,
Well I'm doing just fine.
To admit the truth,
Hasn't crossed my mind.
All I needed was some time,
Was it always this strong
I remember all how I cried

The night that you said goodbye,
You expected me to die.
But I made a brand new start,
And got on with my life
I did what I had to do,
To get myself over you
I'm not falling apart.
You underestimate the condition of my heart

There was a time
You were every breath of mine
I was ready to give the rest of my life
You walked away,
And now you're saying you can walk right back into my life
Like nothing happened and I won't put up a fight.
No, you left me all alone
I wanna know, where were you when I cried?

The night that you said goodbye,
You expected me to die.
But I made a brand new start,
And got on with my life
I did what I had to do,
To get myself over you
I'm not falling apart.
You underestimate the condition of my heart

I think you said all that you need to say
Cause it's not gonna matter anyway
Am I getting through to you,
I've heard it all before
And now you've changed your mind
You lost your only chance.
When you said goodbye
I wanna know,
Where were you when I cried?

The night that you said goodbye
You expected me to die.
But I made a brand new start,
And got on with my life
I did what I had to do,
To get myself over you
I'm not falling apart.




You underestimate the condition of my heart,
You underestimate the condition of my heart.
