Heart of Glass
M.F.A.T.G.G. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losin' my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feelin' fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losin' you it's just no good
You teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We could-a made it cruising, yeah
Yeah, ridin' high on love's true bluish light
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feelin' fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losin' you it's just no good
You teasing like you do
It's just no good
You teasing like you do
It's just no good
You teasing like you do
"Heart of Glass" by M.F.A.T.G.G. is a song exploring the feeling of being betrayed by love. The first verse begins with the singer reflecting on a past love that they thought was amazing at first, but soon revealed a deceitful and fragile heart. The second verse reveals that the singer was slowly losing their mind because of the relationship, and it was not until the end that they realized they were being manipulated. The chorus repeats the tragedy of a failed love and the confusion that follows, and the bridge faces the reality of the situation but hopes for something more. In the end, however, the refrain leaves the listener with a sense of hopelessness and frustration at the teasing games of love.

Once I had a love and it was a gas
I used to have an intense and thrilling love
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
But it was fragile and easily broken
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
It appeared to be genuine, but then I discovered
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
That there was a lot of doubt and mistrust, and the love was lost
Once I had a love and it was divine
I had a love that was heavenly and perfect
Soon found out I was losin' my mind
But then I realized I was going crazy
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
It looked genuine, but I was ignorant and unaware
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
And so there was a lot of doubt and mistrust, and the love was lost
In between
Somewhere in the middle
What I find is pleasing and I'm feelin' fine
I enjoy what I find and feel good
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
But love is complicated and I can't find peace in it
If I fear I'm losin' you it's just no good
If I'm scared you'll leave me, things won't work out well
You teasing like you do
You're playing games with my heart
Lost inside
Feeling lost and confused
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
A beautiful mirage that I can't conceal
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
I'm being used by you, don't abandon me
We could-a made it cruising, yeah
We could have had a smooth and effortless relationship
Yeah, ridin' high on love's true bluish light
We could have been happy and basking in love's pure glow
It's just no good
It's just not right
You teasing like you do
You're playing games with my heart
