What My Heart Held
We Came as Romans Lyrics

I just want to feel something
The singer desires to experience emotions.

I just want to feel something new
The singer wants to feel different emotions or experience new things.

I feel like I'm stuck in this routine
The singer feels trapped in a monotonous way of living.

Every day is decided before I wake
The artist's days are predetermined and lack spontaneity.

Every dream that I've dreamt I don't want to chase
The artist has given up on pursuing their aspirations.

All the people I've met, I start forgetting their names
The singer has trouble remembering the people they've encountered.

The whole day just blurs into one picture
The singer's days blend together into an indistinguishable image.

And months later, there are collections of copies
Memories of the past become repetitive copies with little significance.

Everything looks the same
The artist has a sense of dull uniformity in their life.

Everything feels the same
The artist has a sense of sameness in their emotions as well.

And they forget mine and I give them no blame
The singer doesn't blame others for also forgetting their name.

I'm so disconnected I don't feel the same
The artist feels emotionally disconnected and different from how they used to feel.

That I did when we started
The singer refers to a time when they felt more connected.

When I knew what my heart held
At a certain point, the singer had a clear idea of what was important to them.

So what does my heart hold now?
The singer reflects on what is currently important to them emotionally.

Is it something else or am I too blind to see I'm still the same?
The artist wonders if their emotions have changed or if they haven't realized that they are still the same.

I know I still hold close the same things I always have
Although the artist is uncertain about their emotions, they are sure that they care about what has always been significant to them.

But this world crashes down on me and I can only think about the weight
The singer struggles with the heaviness of the world and is consumed with thoughts of its burden.

Instead of those who were always there to help me hold it up
The singer overlooks the support of those who have helped them through difficult times.

You have always been there to help me hold up this earth
The artist acknowledges someone who has supported them during trying times.

Every time it weighs me down
The artist's burden is heavy, but they know they can rely on the support of someone close to them.

I need to break out of this routine
The artist recognizes the need for change in their life.

Everyday is decided when I say
The singer desires control over their day-to-day life.

Every dream that I've dreamt I am gonna chase
The artist has renewed their desire to pursue their aspirations.

All the people I've met in every different place
The singer values the individuals they have met, regardless of where they're from.

I hold them all close and support their dreams
The singer cares about others and encourages their aspirations.

I feel so connected, now I am the same
The singer feels connected and aligned with their emotions.

That I was when we started
The artist feels emotionally similar to how they felt at the beginning.

When I knew what my heart held
The artist remembers a time when they were certain about their emotions.
