Heart Transplant
Punchline Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you're not looking me in the eye
Then you're blind and I don't have the time,
To sit here and wonder
Just what's under your skin tonight.
And I know that there's a problem
But I don't understand
I don't want to hear a word but I do.
Go to hell, who needs you,
I say that because I don't believe you.
Take my words the way I'm taking yours.
Its not fair, you know me,
But you don't even hear me,
Listen once, and listen close to me
Even a heart transplant
Wouldn't show you how I feel would it baby.
Its tearing up my past now.
Yeah, it wouldn't show you how I feel would it now.
And those inside jokes and things we know
Are the furthest thing from my mind,
But you let one slip and I forget and smile.
But I shouldn't because I hate you
And I hope this irritates you
As much as it does to me for even
Thinking that I don't want you.
I'm not looking at you like I used to
When you'd kiss me and
When you'd want me, what did I do?
What did I say?
What did I do?
What did I say to make you forget?
What did I do?
What did I say to make you forget?
Time goes by and wonders why
And where and how and what you've learned.
And who is this you're sitting with tonight.
I'm over you, way over due now
But my heart lies to and between my past.
But if I pretend for a minute and put all that I have into it,
I swear that I can still feel
Your something, but its probably nothing.
What did I do?
What did I say to make you forget?
What did I do?
What did I say to make you forget?
Even a heart transplant
Wouldn't show you how I feel would it baby.
Its tearing up my past now.
Yeah, it wouldn't show you how I feel would it now.
The lyrics to Punchline's "Heart Transplant" tell the story of a failing relationship. The singer is aware that their partner is not fully invested and is hiding something, but they cannot comprehend what it might be. The singer is frustrated with their partner's lack of communication and is left to wonder what they did to cause the relationship to deteriorate. They experience feelings of anger and resentment towards their partner but also a lingering longing for what used to be.
The repeated line "What did I do? What did I say to make you forget?" represents the singer's desperate attempts to figure out where the relationship went wrong. The idea that even a heart transplant couldn't express how the singer truly feels underscores the idea that words and actions are more powerful in conveying emotions than any physical change. The line "But if I pretend for a minute and put all that I have into it, I swear that I can still feel your something, but it's probably nothing" shows the desperation of the singer, their inability to let go of a relationship that is clearly over.
Overall, "Heart Transplant" is a poignant song that discusses the complexities of romantic relationships and the pain felt when they come to an end. It shows the importance of communication and how unresolved feelings can lead to a messy breakup.
Line by Line Meaning
If you think that I don't notice
I am aware that you are avoiding eye contact with me
That you're not looking me in the eye
You are avoiding eye contact with me
Then you're blind and I don't have the time,
If you can't see that, it's your problem and I don't have the time for it
To sit here and wonder
I don't want to sit here and wonder about what's bothering you
Just what's under your skin tonight.
I don't know what is bothering you and keeping you distant from me
And I know that there's a problem
I am aware that there is a problem between us
But I don't understand
I don't comprehend what the problem is
If what's in my chest is now in your hand,
If my feelings are now in your control
I don't want to hear a word but I do.
I don't want to listen to what you have to say, but I'm still listening
Go to hell, who needs you,
I don't need you and want you to leave
I say that because I don't believe you.
I am saying that because I don't trust what you're telling me
Take my words the way I'm taking yours.
Accept my words the same way I'm accepting yours
Its not fair, you know me,
It's not fair because you know me and still hurt me
But you don't even hear me,
You're not listening to me
Listen once, and listen close to me
Pay attention and hear me out
Even a heart transplant
A heart transplant wouldn't change how I feel
Wouldn't show you how I feel would it baby.
My feelings cannot be shown through a heart transplant
Its tearing up my past now.
This situation is ruining my past memories with you
And those inside jokes and things we know
Our inside jokes and secrets are no longer on my mind
Are the furthest thing from my mind,
I am no longer thinking about our special moments
But you let one slip and I forget and smile.
When you let something slip, I still remember and smile
But I shouldn't because I hate you
It's not right to remember those moments because I hate you now
And I hope this irritates you
I hope my statement makes you irritated
As much as it does to me for even thinking that I don't want you.
I am upset that I even considered not wanting you
I'm not looking at you like I used to
I am not looking at you with the same love and affection
When you'd kiss me and
I am not looking at you the same way as when you used to kiss me
When you'd want me, what did I do?
I am questioning my actions when you used to show me love
What did I do?
I am introspecting my behaviour in the past
What did I say to make you forget?
I am trying to recall what I said to make you forget our love
Time goes by and wonders why
With the passage of time, I wonder why things went wrong between us
And where and how and what you've learned.
I wonder where you are, how you are, and what you've learned from our relationship
And who is this you're sitting with tonight.
I wonder who you're with tonight
I'm over you, way over due now
I have gotten over our relationship, it was overdue
But my heart lies to and between my past.
But my heart still lingers in the past
But if I pretend for a minute and put all that I have into it,
If I try to pretend and put my all into it
I swear that I can still feel
I feel that I still have emotions for you sometimes
Your something, but its probably nothing.
It may just be my imagination or a false feeling that I still have for you
