Sweetheart
Kaia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mumbling something about sleep
Your only saving doubt
Is not finding the way out
Sweetheart sweetheart
You left me dry
Break and enter
Why'd you have to say such
Perfect words to me
Sweetheart
You left me dry so long
Sweetheart
The first time I saw your face
I was gone
The lyrics of the song "Sweetheart" by Kaia talks about the pain and heartbreak caused by a loved one who left without any reason or explanation. It starts with the person walking out of the room and mumbling about sleep, which shows their lack of interest and care for the singer. The only saving grace is that they haven't found a way out, which implies that they might return.
The chorus of the song adds to the melancholic mood by repeating the word "sweetheart" twice, which contrasts sharply with the singer's feelings. They feel betrayed and abandoned, which is evident from the lyrics that say, "You left me dry" & "Break and leave." The singer cannot understand why the other person had to say such perfect words to them, which now feel like deliberate lies.
In the end, the singer reflects on the first time they saw the other person's face, and they were instantly in love. However, that love and affection were not reciprocated, and they were left alone and broken-hearted.
