Vers 1:
Can you feel that all my sorrow
And I’m having trouble then I’m feeling all alone
承受太多冷嘲热讽点起了心火
理智消失了以后
每夜疲惫环绕穿越在恶梦之中
Never close my eyes
沉默 不是一种接受
I can be myself
辩驳 也许是种解脱
Chorus :
是我逞强的太久
Can you feel my heart
是你牵着我的手
You will see my heart
黑夜从不会寂寞
You can feel my heart, my heart, my heart
You can feel my heart, my heart, my heart
Vers 2:
曾经躲在黑暗的角落
凝视镜子的时候
彷彿看见无形目光围绕在背后
纵使很多流言蜚语一直在身旁
过去不会再难过
已经不怕面对过去困扰的枷锁
Never close my eyes
沉默 不是一种接受
I can be myself
辩驳 也许是种解脱
Chorus :
是我逞强的太久
Can you feel my heart
是你牵着我的手
You will see my heart
黑夜从不会寂寞

You can feel my heart, my heart, my heart
Rap:
Yeah ~oh~
I always need you
You never leave me
Everytime there’s no reason that you hear me
Hey be my heart, be my proud

Get outta here dude (oh dear)
Or drop it on me (oh wow)
It is real, no excuse, yes, I’m talking to you
Ain’t nobody got time for that because you think you’re standing on top of the world
Matha fatha got tired but their son on the beach with a beat and he dance like a girl
You wanna rock but you’re not with a mark on your arm, make it stop , okay?
I hear applause and I take a bow with a kiss goodbye
Chorus :

"The Way To My Heart" by The Angels is a heartfelt and introspective song that explores the emotions of the singer. The lyrics convey a sense of sorrow and loneliness, as the singer shares their struggles and the weight they carry. They express how they have endured criticisms and mockery, causing their anger and rationality to fade away. They feel exhausted and trapped in a cycle of nightmares, unable to find solace.
However, amidst their pain, they find comfort and strength when their loved one stays by their side. The presence of this person brings a sense of relief and allows the singer to be themselves. They no longer have to pretend to be strong or argue with others, as being with this person brings them a sense of liberation.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's longing for validation and understanding from their loved one. They want their partner to feel their heart, to truly understand their emotions and struggles. The lyrics also highlight the importance of their partner's support in their life, stating that the darkness of the night is never lonely as long as they are together.
