Three Hearts in a Tangle
Roy Drusky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tonight as I sit by my window watching the people go by
I'm trying to reach a decision but I know I can't do what's right
Three hearts in a tangle which heart should I take
Three hearts in a tangle which heart will I break
[ steel - piano ]
If I choose the one that I should choose then the other heart would break
But if I'll leave them both then I'd suffer which heart will pay for my mistake
The lyrics of "Three Hearts in a Tangle" by Roy Drusky tell the story of a love triangle in which the singer finds himself caught between two lovers, and he's unsure of how to extricate himself from the situation without hurting someone. He's contemplating the dilemma as he watches people pass by his window, and he's struggling to make a decision, as he knows that whichever choice he makes will inevitably cause pain. He's caught in a tangle of emotions and loyalties, trying to do what's right but unsure of what that is.

This song, like so many others from this era, makes me miss my dad so much. I was 18 when he passed away at the age of 42 and I grew up listening to him sing and play the guitar (he even recorded a few albums and 8-tracks with the gospel group where he the lead singer)... Now whenever I hear the music he sang it is his voice I hear singing instead of the recording artist. Bittersweet to be sure.

These songs remind me of my beloved grandpa. He went home to be with the good lord up above eleven years ago now. We both had the exact same birthday.
