My Heart Is Buried in Venice
Ricky Montgomery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And toss all your thoughts to the sea
I'll pull up each of our anchors
So we can get lost, you and me
My heart is buried in Venice
Hidden beneath all my worries and doubts
My heart is buried in Venice
Even when you try to hide it
A smile creeps out from your teeth
I never thought that I would have to say I'm sorry
For anyone but me
Now my heart is buried in Venice
Waiting for someone to take it home
Say, say what you mean
Tell me the truth or tell me you're through
Don't leave me to breathe,
Don't leave me to bleed
For someone who chose to leave me be
My heart is buried in Venice
Waitin' for someone to take it home

He promises to pull up each of their anchors so they could get lost together. The singer's heart is buried in Venice, hidden beneath all his worries and doubts, and waiting for someone to take it home. Even when the person he is with tries to hide their emotions, their smile still creeps out from their teeth. The singer never thought he would have to say sorry for anyone but himself. He pleads with his partner to tell him the truth or if they are through, not to leave him to breathe or bleed for someone who chose to leave him be.
The lyrics to "My Heart is Buried in Venice" speaks about the struggle of emotional vulnerability in a relationship. The idea of burying one's feelings is a common problem in modern relationships. This song is about the struggle that comes with trying to open up emotionally. The imagery of tossing all of our worries to the sea represents the release of emotional baggage.
The song tells us that it’s easy to hide behind a tough exterior and not let anyone in, but in the long run, it doesn't benefit anyone. Everyone has a heart, and it can only be ignored and buried for so long before the weight of the worry and doubt becomes suffocating. By finding someone who can help carry the emotional load, there is a better chance for healing and finding a way to uncover the heart.
