A Heart You Can't Find
Wise Children Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How when you speak I grow still
How every word that you say
Just makes me die
And I never put myself on the line
'cause you can't break a heart you can't find
I never told you about your eyes
How when you look at me I feel blind
You're still always on my mind
And I never put myself on the line
'cause you can't break a heart you can't find
And I was falling for you
from the start
But now you're drifting from me
and you're too far from land
And this is tearing me apart
I'll be calling your name while I crawl through the sand
I never told you about your man
How when he speaks I grow ill
And when I see you with him
I don't feel like it's real
And I never put myself on the line
'cause you can't break a heart you can't find.
The lyrics of the Wise Children's song "A Heart You Can't Find" are about unrequited love and the fear of getting hurt. The singer is in love with someone who they admire deeply. They describe how their heart races and their mind goes still when the person speaks. However, they have never spoken up about their feelings because they fear that they might get hurt. The line "you can't break a heart you can't find" suggests that they are protecting themselves by not revealing their feelings. The singer also talks about how every time they see the person with someone else, it tears them apart.
The lyrics reveal the raw emotions of the singer that arise from the one-sided love they have. They admire every little detail about the person, from their speech to their eyes. The line "I was falling for you from the start" portrays the depth of their feelings, which gradually grew over time. However, the person is gradually drifting away from the singer, and they feel helpless and lost. Even when the person is not physically present, they cannot stop thinking about them.
The lyrics also touch upon the frustration the singer feels about the person's romantic partner. They describe feeling ill when he speaks and the feeling that the relationship is not real when they see the person with their partner. However, they remain silent because of their fear of getting rejected.
Overall, the song is a powerful expression of the heartache and helplessness that can arise from unrequited love.

I never told you about your mouth
I never told you how alluring your words are
How when you speak I grow still
You have such an impact on me that I can't help but be captivated by your words
How every word that you say just makes me die
Every time you speak, my heart beats faster and I feel like I'm falling apart

I never told you about your eyes
I never told you how your eyes make me feel
How when you look at me I feel blind
Your gaze is so intense that it's hard for me to see anything else
When I don't see you for months, you're still always on my mind
Even if we're apart, you're always in my thoughts
And I was falling for you from the start
I've been in love with you since the beginning
But now you're drifting from me and you're too far from land
You're slipping away from me and it feels like we're too far apart to ever be close again
And this is tearing me apart
This distance and separation is causing me pain
I'll be calling your name while I crawl through the sand
I'll never stop thinking of you and trying to find my way back to you
I never told you about your man
I never told you how I feel about the guy you're with
How when he speaks I grow ill
Just hearing him talk makes me feel sick
And when I see you with him, I don't feel like it's real
It hurts me to see you with him because it doesn't feel genuine or right
