Dear Heart
Tenille Lyrics

Dear heart, I'm sorry
Apologizing to the singer's conscience that had an agreed deal.

I know we had a deal
The singer and their conscience made an agreement regarding something important.

I should be listening to you
The singer should be following their conscience's advice.

Dear heart, I'm breaking
The artist is going against their conscience's advice.

A rule I swore I'd never break
The artist is going against a rule they made for themselves.

But there's nothing I can do
The singer feels powerless to stop breaking their rule.

I'm already fallin', fallin'
The singer is already emotionally invested in a situation.

Yeah, I just couldn't wait
The artist couldn't control their feelings and acted impulsively.

Or maybe you're right, I'm wrong
The artist knows their conscience might have been right, but they acted against it anyway.

And I'm halfway to "it's too late."
The artist recognizes that the situation might become unfixable if they continue down this path.

I know what you're thinkin', I'm sinkin'
The singer knows that their conscience believes they are making a mistake.

But it sure don't feel that way
The artist is still convinced that their actions are right despite the possible consequences.

You can say "I told you so" if it falls apart
The singer accepts the possibility of their conscience being right and acknowledges that they might regret their actions later.

And I should've listened to you right from the start
The singer realizes that, in hindsight, they should have followed their conscience's advice from the beginning.

Dear heart
The singer addresses their conscience once again, showing their inner conflict.

I know, you're only looking out for me
The artist acknowledges that their conscience is trying to protect them.

And he just came out of the blue
The artist met someone unexpected.

Sayin' the sweetest things I've ever heard
The new person is saying things that are appealing to the singer's feelings.

You don't believe him but I do
The singer has doubts about the new person, but they still believe in them.
