Heavy Heart
Robbie Cavanagh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm corrupted, but it's you who made me this way,
Don't hold back, 'cause I've got a very heavy heart.
You should have warned me, I thought everythings okay,
Now you've taught me in a very different way,
Don't hold back, 'cause I've got a very heavy heart.
Please don't go and leave me alone,
I know that you're that okay but I'm completely out of control,
I still think you owe me a little bit of love,
I don't know how you do this every single time,
Next time leave me out 'cause I'm still dying.
If you had courage you could tell me where I stand,
If you had guts but they're pouring out of your hand,
Don't hold back, 'cause I've got a very heavy heart.
But I won't leave if you're not happy here,
Please don't go and leave me alone,
I know that you're that okay but I'm completely out of control,
I still think you owe me a little bit of love,
I don't know how you do this every single time,
Next time leave me out 'cause I'm still dying.
I'd leave you alone if I thought this was what you need,
But I don't think that you're happy now that you are not with me.
The lyrics to Robbie Cavanagh's song "Heavy Heart" convey feelings of confusion, betrayal, and hurt. The singer questions whether he can trust and believe the person he's addressing. He expresses that he feels corrupt, but he also blames the other person for making him feel that way. He implores the other person not to hold back from speaking the truth, because his heart feels heavily burdened by the uncertainty and conflicting emotions he's experiencing.
Later in the song, the singer seems to accept that the other person has moved on, but he still feels hurt and thinks he's owed a little bit of love. He struggles with how to move on and is still "dying" emotionally. While he would leave the other person alone if that's what they needed, he believes that they are not truly happy without him.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a complicated relationship where there are unresolved feelings and a sense of unbalance in power dynamics. The singer feels like he's been manipulated and left confused about what the other person truly wants. The song is emotive and raw, displaying the complexity of human emotions and relationships.
