Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m spinning new way call my A game
Revising ’cause I wanna get straight A’s
Getting busy now alot of time’s taken
See I might hit blatant the news is broken
She knows there’s women I’m chasing
The show is attention if you make it
You getting on amends if you make it
She told me she fed out but she can’t take it

My heart, my heart, my heart, my heart
My heart, my heart, my heart can’t play it
My heart, my heart, my heart, my heart
My heart, my heart is
Exhausted, it’s exhausted, it’s exhausted
And heart, my heart, my heart, my heart
My heart, my heart is exhausted
It’s exhausted

She knows when I get around she never deals
She knows when I been into another world
I can’t lie I’ve been at my other girls
And then gal in my heart give me another 12
Chasing more and if I had I lose her
The main one, she tall I juice her
I’m growing mad, made the girl sad ye
Other than that ain’t in the back ye

My heart, my heart, my heart, my heart
My heart, my heart, my heart can’t play it
My heart, my heart, my heart, my heart
My heart, my heart is
Exhausted, it’s exhausted, it’s exhausted
And heart, my heart, my heart, my heart
My heart, my heart is exhausted
It’s exhausted

Our money grow spend it
I’m trying to touch that ceiling
Poppin bottles, caught a million
Foreign car drop the ceiling
Get that type now call my dog
I ain’t trying to shop drive by that store
French Montana, cool boy talk
Dope boy not, dope boy walk
Want you baby fuck that ho
Want you now can’t take none for
Wanna break bread, that shit hard

My heart, my heart, my heart, my heart
My heart, my heart, my heart can’t play it
My heart, my heart, my heart, my heart
My heart, my heart is
Exhausted, it’s exhausted, it’s exhausted
And heart, my heart, my heart, my heart

My heart, my heart is exhausted
It’s exhausted

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wiley feat. Emeli Sandé & French Montana's song My Heart in 2-3 long paragraphs express the sensation of falling in love at first sight. In the first verse, the singer admits to taking only one look at the person whom he or she falls in love with, and right then, their heart stands still. While their body can continue to function as normal, the heart is affected by the experience and stops momentarily, conveying the impact of the emotion. The next verse acknowledges that even though the singer could use their feet and mouth as they always do, their heart is still feeling the after-effects of falling in love.

The chorus emphasizes that, despite the lack of spoken words, the two people involved have a connection that is nonverbal but powerful. They both feel this connection through an "unfelt clasp of hands" or an "unfelt claps of hands," which seems to be a metaphor for a shared destiny. Before this moment, the singer feels like they have never truly lived. This experience is the first time they have felt a sense of excitement and purpose, which is why their heart stands still.

Overall, this song is about the instant attraction felt by two individuals and the power of a mere glance. The lyrics are simple yet heartfelt, and they emphasize the emotional and physical impact of falling in love at first sight.

Line by Line Meaning

I took one look at you
From the moment I saw you, I was captivated by your presence

That's all I meant to do
I didn't intend to do anything else but admire you from afar

And then my heart stood still
You had a profound effect on me that made my heart skip a beat

My feet could step and walk
Physically, I was capable of moving normally

My lips could move and talk
I could still communicate normally despite being mesmerized by you

And yet my heart stood still
Despite everything else functioning normally, my heart remained still and overwhelmed

Though not a single word was spoken
We didn't need to talk to communicate our mutual feelings

I could tell you knew
You seemed to understand how I felt without any explanation

That unfelt clasp of hands
Our hands didn't touch, but it felt like we were holding hands

Told me so well you knew
Your actions indicated that you felt the same way

I never lived at all
I realized that I had never really felt alive until that moment

Until the thrill of that moment
The feeling of being with you was an incredible thrill

When my heart stood still
That moment when my heart was so overwhelmed that it came to a standstill
