Half of My Heart
Taylor Swift John Mayer Lyrics

I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
I grew up with an active imagination and created my own worlds and friends throughout my childhood.

Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been
I was always comfortable being on the go and making myself feel at home wherever I went.

Then you come crashing in, like the realest thing
You suddenly entered my life and felt like the most real and genuine thing I had ever experienced.

Trying my best to understand all that your love can bring
I am struggling to comprehend the depth of emotions and changes I am experiencing as a result of falling in love with you.

Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Part of me is in control of the situation with you.

Half of my heart takes time
I need time to process the feelings I have for you.

Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
My logical side is warning me that I can't continue loving you the way I am.

That I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)
I am unable to maintain my love for you with the intensity that I am feeling it currently.

Oh, with half of my heart
I am loving you with a part of my heart that is not completely invested.

I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else
I once thought that I would only ever be able to love myself.

I made a plan, stay the man who can only love himself
I attempted to keep myself closed off to love and only focus on myself.

Lonely was the song I sang, 'till the day you came
I used to feel lonely and isolated before you entered my life.

Showing me a another way and all that my love can bring
You introduced me to a new way of loving and made me see all of the joy that comes with loving someone else.

Your faith is strong
You have a strong belief in our relationship and in me.

But I can only fall short for so long
I am struggling to live up to your expectations and don't know how much longer I can keep doing so.

Down the road, later on
Eventually, in the future,

You will hate that I never gave more to you than half of my heart
You will be upset with me for not putting my full heart into loving you.

But I can't stop loving you
Despite everything, I am unable to stop my love for you.

(I can't stop loving you)

I can't stop loving you with half of my
I am still loving you, but only with half of my heart.

Half of my heart's got a real good imagination
Part of me can think of a future with you that is wonderful and filled with love.

Half of my heart's got you
The other part of my heart is fully invested in loving you.

Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
My logical side is telling me that it's not sustainable to keep loving you the way I am.

That half of my heart won't do
Half of my heart is not enough to give to you completely.

Half of my heart is a shotgun wedding
Half of my heart is a hasty or forced commitment to loving you.

To a bride with a paper ring
To someone who is not fully invested or committed to our relationship.

And half of my heart is the part of a man
The other part of my heart belongs to someone who is unsure or has commitment issues.

Who's never truly loved anything
The other part of my heart has never experienced true, deep love for someone or something.

Oh, half of my heart
I am only giving you a portion of my heart.

Half of my heart
I am not fully invested in loving you with my entire heart.

Oh, half of my heart
I am conflicted and unsure about my feelings for you.

Half of my heart
I am only partially committed to our love.
