Heal
One Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got me staring up to heaven now
I feel lost when you're not around
Another bottle and I'm better now
Hard to know you've been around
Just had to go and let me down
She said time is up (Time is up)
Heart bleeds in my cup (In my cup)
Not leaving in love (In love)
But I want you to hold me, want you to heal me (Yeah, yeah)
She said time is up (Time is up)
Heart bleeds in my cup (In my cup)
Not leaving in love (In love)
But I want you to hold me, want you to heal me
Said the words that'll haunt me
I could've loved you, you'd never love me
We could run from the ugly
I wouldn't lose you, you wouldn't lose me (Yeah)
Got me staring up to heaven now
I feel lost when you're not around
Another bottle and I'm better now
Hard to know you've been around
Just had to go and let me down
She said time is up (Time is up)
Heart bleeds in my cup (In my cup)
Not leaving in love (In love)
But I want you to hold me, want you to heal me (Yeah, yeah)
She said time is up (Time is up)
Heart bleeds in my cup (In my cup)
Not leaving in love (In love)
But I want you to hold me, want you to heal me
You said I'm better off without you
Who the hell am I without you?
Been getting faded on my own while I'm staring at the phone
Only waiting for your tone
I believed you when you said we could see it through
Then you flee through the door
I should leave too 'cause I know where it leads to
If I don't leave here alone, yeah
She said time is up (Time is up)
Heart bleeds in my cup (In my cup)
Not leaving in love (In love)
But I want you to hold me, want you to heal me
She said time is up (Time is up)
Heart bleeds in my cup (In my cup)
Not leaving in love (Want your love)
But I want you to hold me (Yeah)
Want you to heal me (Yeah, yeah)
She said time is up (Time is up)
Heart bleeds in my cup (In my cup)
Not leaving in love (Want your love)




But I want you to hold me (Oh)
Want you to heal me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to One's song "Heal" delve into themes of longing, heartbreak, and the struggle to move on from a past relationship. The singer expresses a deep sense of emptiness and disorientation when their love interest is not present, seeking solace in alcohol as a temporary escape. Despite the pain caused by the other person's actions, the singer still yearns for their comfort and healing touch.


The repetition of the lines "She said time is up, heart bleeds in my cup" emphasizes the finality of the situation and the emotional wounds inflicted by the breakup. The singer acknowledges the hurtful words that were spoken and the haunting memories of a love that could never be fully realized. The desire for healing and reconciliation is palpable throughout the lyrics, underscoring the complexity of emotions that linger after a relationship ends.


The lyrics also touch upon feelings of self-doubt and worthlessness that can arise in the aftermath of a breakup. The singer questions their identity and purpose without their former partner, struggling to find a sense of self without the relationship that once defined them. The mention of getting "faded on my own" and waiting for their ex's call highlights the vulnerability and dependency that can accompany a broken heart.


Ultimately, the lyrics convey a sense of resignation and acceptance of the fact that the relationship has reached its end. Despite the pain and longing that linger, the singer understands the necessity of letting go and moving forward, even if the path ahead is uncertain. The plea to be held and healed by the person who has caused so much pain reflects a deep-seated desire for closure and emotional resolution, illustrating the complexity of love and loss that permeates the human experience.

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place it was brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel there's no hurt or sorrow
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me, and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
If you want to know why
There's love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear of dread, we stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world
So make a better world
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me, and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
And the dream we were conceived in will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify its soul?
Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly
Be god's glow
We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me, and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me, and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
Heal the world (heal the world)
Make it a better place
For you and for me, and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
