Black Heart
Stealth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Only heaven know what's been on your mind
Only heaven knows what you're tryna hide
But those cracks, they start to show
I'll get the down low on what you're hiding
Suspicion grows as the road unwinds
I'm getting close to the end of the line

As you're starring for the part
I see your black heart slowly dying

Your black heart can't help but tell me the truth about you
Your black heart is beating for somebody new
Only a fool would be falling for ya

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Like a cannibal eating me alive
A waterfall of dirty lies
I was drowning in your eyes
Saw through that disguise, now I'm running
Think I didn't know who you did at night
Telling me you're cold, letting him inside

Now you're starring for the part
I see your black heart's out of loving

Your black heart can't help but tell me the truth about you
Your black heart is beating for somebody new
Only a fool would be falling for ya

Only a fool would be falling for ya
Only a fool would be falling for ya
Only a fool would be falling for ya
Only a fool would be falling

Your black heart can't help but tell me the truth about you
Your black heart is beating for somebody new
Only a fool would be falling for ya





Your black heart, your black heart
Your black heart, your black heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Stealth's song "Black Heart" talk about suspicions of someone's dishonesty in a relationship. The singer is trying to figure out what is going on in the other person's mind but cannot reach the truth. The other person is trying to hide something, but the cracks are starting to show. The singer continues to investigate and follows the path to the end of the line, where they find that the other person's black heart cannot help but reveal the truth. The singer implies that the other person has been unfaithful to them with someone new, and they are falling out of love. The chorus repeats the phrase "only a fool would be falling for ya" to emphasize that the singer feels foolish for being in this situation.


The song's lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and insecurity in a relationship. The singer is questioning their partner and trying to understand what is happening in their relationship. The "black heart" metaphor refers to the person's inner darkness and malice that they cannot hide from the singer. The song's chorus is a warning to others to not make the same mistake and fall for someone who is not trustworthy.

Only heaven know what's been on your mind
I'm unsure of what's going through your head


Only heaven knows what you're tryna hide
I know you're hiding something, and I can't figure it out


But those cracks, they start to show
Even though you're trying to conceal your true self, I can still see through it


I'll get the down low on what you're hiding
I will uncover the secrets you're trying to keep from me


Suspicion grows as the road unwinds
As time goes on, my doubts about you continue to intensify


I'm getting close to the end of the line
I'm reaching my breaking point and need answers

Like a cannibal eating me alive
You are hurting me emotionally and mentally


A waterfall of dirty lies
You constantly deceive me with falsehoods


I was drowning in your eyes
I was consumed by my love for you


Saw through that disguise, now I'm running
I finally realized who you truly are and am now trying to distance myself from you


Think I didn't know who you did at night
I suspected that you were being unfaithful


Telling me you're cold, letting him inside
You're making excuses for your behavior and allowing someone else into your heart


Your black heart's out of loving
You no longer have any love left to give


Your black heart, your black heart
Your true self, your true self
