My Heart Won't Tell You No
Stoneface & Terminal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I lie awake in bed
Been living out of a suitcase
Following my head
The heart knows
I've done you wrong
I let you down
Let me unpack my emotions
And settle my heart
Fall back to sleep
In the safety of your holding arms
I′m so tired of running
So tired of being apart
That this time, I know
My heart won't tell you no
My heart won't tell you no
My heart won′t tell you no
My heart won′t tell you no
My heart won't tell you no
My heart won′t tell you no
The lyrics of Stoneface & Terminal's song "My Heart Won't Tell You No" describe a person who lives a transient lifestyle, always on the move, and following their head rather than their heart. The song's narrator confesses that they have let down someone they love and acknowledges, "The heart knows I've done you wrong."
In the second verse, the singer asks for forgiveness and longs to settle their emotions before they can "Fall back to sleep in the safety of [the other person's] holding arms." The lyrics convey a sense of exhaustion and recognition that it's time to stop running away from the person they love.
Despite the singer's earlier tendency to prioritize their own desires over their heart, the title of the song suggests a change of heart. They declare, "My heart won't tell you no," indicating that they are finally willing to listen to their heart and commit to the person they love.
Overall, the lyrics of "My Heart Won't Tell You No" convey a sense of introspection and personal growth, as the singer acknowledges their mistakes and seeks redemption by following their heart.

Such an emotional track. I was in a dark place when I first discovered it. Listening to it from where I currently stand, while recalling where I once was, is so freeing. Simply beautiful.
