There Goes My Heart
Mavericks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

there goes my heart breaking in two
there goes my eyes crying over you
my arms don't want for us to part
so when you go here comes the blues
there goes my heart

you told me once we'd never part
that you loved me with all your heart
but now these words of love
you're going to erase
you've found somebody new
who wants to take my place

there goes my heart breaking in two
there goes my eyes crying over you
my arms don't want for us to part
so when you go here comes the blues
there goes my heart

I'm standing on a bridge that's burned
it's just a lonely lesson learned
to see you walk away with him hurts me so
this fool who loves you
doesn't want to let you go

there goes my heart breaking in two
there goes my eyes crying over you
my arms don't want for us to part
so when you go here comes the blues
there goes my heart





so when you go here comes the blues
there goes my heart ...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mavericks' song, "There Goes My Heart," depicts heartbreak and the pain of watching someone you love leave you for another person. The lines, "there goes my heart breaking in two, there goes my eyes crying over you," effectively describe the feeling of intense anguish that often comes with the end of a relationship. The singer's arms "don't want for us to part," which suggests a deep longing to hold onto the person they are losing. However, as the person they love moves on, "here comes the blues," which can be interpreted as the onset of sadness and despair.


The second verse of the song adds a layer of sadness as the singer reflects on their past with their partner. The lyrics "you told me once we'd never part, that you loved me with all your heart," express the sense of betrayal that comes with realizing that someone you trusted and loved has moved on. The face that "these words of love" are being erased by the partner who has found another person creates a feeling of loss and devastation.


Overall, the song's lyrics are a poignant illustration of how love and heartbreak are interconnected. The message is that loving someone deeply can sometimes result in the most profound emotional pain.
