Olivia Ambani Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My heart would stay to myself
But I don't know why
Yes I don't know why
My face reveals my feelings
My heart won't keep it anymore
It just cant stay where my secrets lie
And this ain't what I wanted, what I planned forWhat I wished for but here we are
You and I we don't say but I believe it
Nobody could ever hide emotions so long
Confusing games we play but so wrong
Were tearing each other apart
And this was my story for so long
Then I said I don't mind if you know it all
And this was my secret before
But now I'll climb up on the roof top
Tell everybody I care
Don't wanna keep it no more
I guess I thought It'd be easy
Showing my poker face
Hiding what I feel, faking what is real
Afraid of being deserted
Once my hearts love was revealed
I kept my gaze down wouldn't let you see my eyes
But then you came so gently
Spoke right to me caught me running
Now here we are you and I
We don't say much but I believe it
Nobody could ever hide emotions so long
Confusing games we play but so wrong
Were tearing each other apart
And this was my story for so long
Then I said I don't mind if you know it all
And this was my secret before
But now I'll climb up on the rooftop
Tell everybody I care
Don't wanna keep it no more
I'm not gonna ask you
All I will do is say that I care, I care
It ain't easy I know it
Don't know where we be going but I care
Yes I care
And I Know that I never wanted to show it
I promised myself that you would break first
But were standing face to face hearts
In hand and open
I'm trying to tell myself feelings don't
You let me be denied
But here we are, and here we are
Here we are, yes here we are
And here we are
Yes here we are, and here we are
Yes here we are
And this was my story for so long
Then I said I don't mind if you know it all
And this was my secret before
But now I'll climb up on the rooftop
Tell everybody I care
Don't wanna keep it no more
I'll climb up on the rooftop
Tell everybody I care
Here we are, yes here we are
The lyrics of Olivia Ambani's song "I Care" depict the internal struggle of the singer in revealing her true feelings to someone. The first verse sets the tone, with the singer admitting that they had initially intended to keep their heart concealed and hidden. However, they find that their face and expressions give away their emotions, and their heart can no longer keep the secrets hidden.
The second verse highlights the conflicts and confusion in the relationship. The singer acknowledges that the games they play with each other are wrong and tearing them apart. They have been hiding their emotions for so long, but now they're ready to let go. The singer makes a decision to climb on the rooftop and proclaim their feelings to the world. They no longer want to keep their caring nature and emotions hidden.
In the bridge, the singer reflects on their initial fear of being vulnerable and exposed. They believed that showing their true feelings would lead to abandonment, and so they tried to hide behind a poker face. However, the other person came into their life gently and spoke to their heart, causing them to break down their walls. The singer acknowledges the unspoken connection between them, and though they may not say much, they believe in the depth of their emotions.
The chorus reinforces the singer's decision to express their care and love openly. They declare that they will no longer hold back and will unapologetically embrace their emotions. Despite not knowing what the future holds, the singer still cares deeply for the other person and is willing to take the risk.
The repetition of the phrase "Here we are" in the outro signifies the acceptance of their current situation. It implies that despite the challenges and uncertainties, they have come to a point where they are willing to be open and vulnerable with each other, ready to face whatever comes their way. The lyrics overall convey a sense of liberation, as the singer finally reveals their true feelings and refuses to keep them hidden any longer.

I said I'd never reveal it
I promised myself I would never show my true feelings
My heart would stay to myself
I would keep my emotions hidden within
But I don't know why
I can't explain the reason
Yes I don't know why
I genuinely don't understand
My face reveals my feelings
My expressions give away what I truly feel
My heart won't keep it anymore
My emotions can no longer stay concealed
It just cant stay where my secrets lie
They cannot remain hidden any longer
And this ain't what I wanted, what I planned for
This is not what I desired or expected
What I wished for but here we are
Despite my desires, we find ourselves in this situation
You and I we don't say but I believe it
We may not vocalize it, but I can sense it
Nobody could ever hide emotions so long
It is impossible to conceal one's feelings for such a duration
Confusing games we play but so wrong
The games we play to confuse each other are misguided
Were tearing each other apart
Our actions are causing harm to both of us
And this was my story for so long
This has been my personal narrative for a significant period
Then I said I don't mind if you know it all
I reached a point where I no longer cared if you knew everything
And this was my secret before
This used to be my hidden truth
But now I'll climb up on the rooftop
But now I will go up on the rooftop
Tell everybody I care
Announce to everyone that I truly care
Don't wanna keep it no more
I no longer want to keep it to myself
I guess I thought It'd be easy
I assumed it would be a simple task
Showing my poker face
Displaying a stoic and emotionless facade
Hiding what I feel, faking what is real
Concealing my true emotions and pretending to be something I'm not
Afraid of being deserted
Fearful of being abandoned
Once my hearts love was revealed
Once my deep affection was exposed
I kept my gaze down wouldn't let you see my eyes
I avoided eye contact to prevent you from seeing my true feelings
But then you came so gently
But then you approached me with such tenderness
Spoke right to me caught me running
Your words hit me directly and stopped me in my tracks
Now here we are you and I
And now, we find ourselves together
We don't say much but I believe it
We may not communicate verbally, but I have faith in it
And I Know that I never wanted to show it
I am aware that I never intended to reveal it
I promised myself that you would break first
I made a vow to myself that you would give in before me
But were standing face to face hearts in hand and open
Yet, here we are, confronting each other with vulnerability
I'm trying to tell myself feelings don't
I am attempting to convince myself that emotions do not
You let me be denied
You don't allow me to deny them
Here we are, and here we are
We find ourselves in this situation
Yes here we are, and here we are
Indeed, this is where we stand
And this was my story for so long
This has been my personal narrative for a significant period
Then I said I don't mind if you know it all
I reached a point where I no longer cared if you knew everything
And this was my secret before
This used to be my hidden truth
But now I'll climb up on the rooftop
But now I will go up on the rooftop
Tell everybody I care
Announce to everyone that I truly care
Don't wanna keep it no more
I no longer want to keep it to myself
I'll climb up on the rooftop
I will ascend to the rooftop
Tell everybody I care
Announce to everyone that I truly care
Here we are, yes here we are
We find ourselves in this situation
