Open Your Heart
T.M.-Joy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's something in my heart
There's something in my soul my head don't know
There's something in my heart
There's something in my soul that screams to be heard
Something about my heart
It knows what it feels like to break
Something my head don't know
They say listen to your heart
We've all heard that before
But can a broken heart
Hear those words, anymore?
There's something in my heart
There's something in my soul my head don't know
Something about my heart
It knows what it feels like to break
Something my head don't know
They say listen to your heart
We've all heard that before
But can a broken heart
Hear those words, anymore?
They say listen to your heart
We've all heard that before
But does a broken heart
Hear those words, anymore?
Next time I will know
To listen to my heart cause my head don't know
Next time I will know
To listen to my soul when it speaks
Cause my heart knows




It knows what it feels like to break
Well I have learned from that mistake

Overall Meaning

In T.M.-Joy's song "Open Your Heart," the singer is struggling between listening to their head and their heart/soul. They feel that there is something deep within them that is trying to be expressed and heard, but their rational mind is blocking it out. The repetition of the phrase "there's something in my heart, there's something in my soul" emphasizes the urgency of this feeling. The singer contrasts the advice to "listen to your heart" with the question of whether a broken heart can really hear those words.


The singer ultimately comes to the realization that they need to trust their heart and soul, despite the risks of getting hurt. They vow to "listen to my heart cause my head don't know," and acknowledge that they have learned from their past mistakes. This song can be seen as a call to trust your intuition and to not let fear hold you back from expressing your true feelings.
