I Don't Have the Heart
Kyla Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your face is beaming, you say it's cause you're dreaming of
How good it's going to be
You say you've been around and now you've finally found

Chorus:
I don't have the heart to hurt you
It's the last thing I want to do
But I don't have the heart to love you

Not the way you want me to

Inside I'm dying, to see you cryin'
How can I make you understand
I care about you, so much about you
Baby I'm trying to say this as gently as I can 'cause

Chorus:
I don't have the heart to hurt you
It's the last thing I want to do
But I don't have the heart to love you
Not the way you want me to

You're so trusting, and open
Hoping that love will start
But I don't have the heart
Oh no, I don't have the heart

Chorus:
I don't have the heart to hurt you
It's the last thing I want to do
But I don't have the heart to love you
Not the way you want me to

I don't have the heart

Baby, I don't have the heart
Baby, I don't have the heart

Overall Meaning

In Kyla's song "I Don't Have the Heart," the lyrics express the dilemma of someone who must break the heart of someone who loves them. In the first verse, the person says that they can see how happy their partner is and how they have finally found what they have been looking for. However, the singer does not feel the same way and is not able to reciprocate those feelings. The chorus repeats the idea that they do not want to hurt their partner and that they cannot love them the way they want them to. The singer feels a deep internal conflict between their own feelings and the love they have for their partner.

The second verse mirrors the first, with the singer feeling guilty about causing the pain they know they will cause. The singer acknowledges that their partner is trusting and open and wants to start a love connection with them, but they do not have the heart to do so. The song ends with the singer repeating the chorus and emphasizing that they cannot love their partner the way they want them to.

The lyrics of "I Don't Have the Heart" tap into a fundamentally human experience that deals with the complex emotions of love and the pain that occurs when love is not returned. It is a tough decision that almost everyone will have to make in life, and the song does a good job of acknowledging the difficulty that comes with it.
