Into My Life
Sparkle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hmm, yeah
want to talk about my life, my life
want to talk about my life, my life
Oh yeah
You see I never knew a love like this before
I gave you my life to walk right out the door
Or was that just a line
The love that you gave was so amazing, why
Why did you have to come and wreck my life
Don't understand the reason, I can't tell
I'm going out of my mind
Into my life
You stole my heart
Walked out, don't know why
Into my life
Tell me why you play these games with my heart
Into my life
You stole my heart
Walked out, don't know why
Into my life
Tell me why you play these games with my heart
Time after time, moment to moment you
Told me baby you loved me, so can't you
See how you crushed my heart with those few words
Or was it just rehearsed
When I lay at night all I can think is you
Just one more time, so many things I'd do
To keep you coming back and wanting more
How could you walk out that door
Gave you my love
You didn't appreciate it
Gave you my time
Boy how I do regret it
Never will I
Brother you can forget it
I'll be fine
Into my life
You stole my heart
Walked out, don't know why
Into my life
Tell me why you play these games with my heart
Into my life
You stole my heart
Walked out, don't know why
Into my life
Tell me why you play these games with my heart
So don't come knockin' at my door
Cause you ain't welcome 'round here no more
I can do bad by myself
Without you walking in and out of my life
Don't come knockin' at my door
Cause you ain't welcome 'round here no more
I can do bad by myself
Without you walking in and out of my life
Into my life
You stole my heart
Walked out, don't know why
Into my life
Tell me why you play these games with my heart
The lyrics of Sparkle's song "Into My Life" revolve around the pain and confusion that arises from being in a tumultuous relationship. The singer confesses that she had never experienced a love like this before, but it was abruptly taken away from her when her partner left her without any explanation. The song talks about the struggle to comprehend the situation and the desire to understand why her lover played games with her heart. Despite the immense love she had for him, he wouldn't give her the same respect or appreciation, and she now regrets giving away her time and heart to someone who only shattered it.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Into my life, you stole my heart, walked out, don't know why," underscoring the singer's anguish at not being able to understand why her love left her. The lyrics are raw and emotional, and her confusion is palpable when she questions if the love that was shown to her was authentic or just a well-rehearsed line. She remembers her partner's declarations of love, which now seem hollow and shallow to her. The song ends on a triumphant note when the singer declares that she can do bad by herself and that she doesn't need a partner who walks in and out of her life.

You see I never knew a love like this before
I have never been in love like this before
I gave you my life to walk right out the door
I trusted you with my life, and you left me
You said our love would stand the test of time
You promised that our love would last forever
Or was that just a line
Or was it just a lie
The love that you gave was so amazing, why
I don't understand why the love you gave was amazing
Why did you have to come and wreck my life
Why did you have to come and ruin my life
Don't understand the reason, I can't tell
I don't understand the reason behind what you did
I'm going out of my mind
I am losing my sanity
Into my life
You entered into my life
You stole my heart
You took my heart away
Walked out, don't know why
You left without giving a reason
Tell me why you play these games with my heart
Please tell me why you are playing games with my heart
Time after time, moment to moment you
Every time, every moment you
Told me baby you loved me, so can't you
You told me you love me, so don't you
See how you crushed my heart with those few words
Can't you see how you hurt me with those few words
Or was it just rehearsed
Or was it just practiced
When I lay at night all I can think is you
When I lay in bed at night, all I can think about is you
Just one more time, so many things I'd do
If I could just be with you one more time, there are so many things I would do
To keep you coming back and wanting more
To make you keep coming back and wanting more
How could you walk out that door
How could you leave me and walk out the door
Gave you my love
I gave you my love
You didn't appreciate it
You didn't value or respect my love
Gave you my time
I gave you my time and attention
Boy how I do regret it
I regret giving you my time
Never will I
I will never
Brother you can forget it
You can forget about it
I'll be fine
I will be okay
So don't come knockin' at my door
Don't come knocking on my door
Cause you ain't welcome 'round here no more
Because you are not welcome here anymore
I can do bad by myself
I can handle being alone
Without you walking in and out of my life
Without you coming and going from my life
