save yourself

Do you think he's saying "It's ONLY my heart?"

This is an amazing song. The lyrics somewhat conflict with the tone and melody of the song, giving it a few possible meanings.

It's obviously about a relationship from the perspective of someone who truly cares about the other person and wants the best for them. The lyrics suggest it's a long-term relationship where they care about one another, but for whatever reason, they know it won't work in the end. The first stanza supports this idea

"I'm trying to change To make the best for us But I'm just the same Same as I ever was"

However, the upbeat and playful tone also suggests a newer relationship. Where there is a true interest, but not as much involved. Like many new relationships that are going well, you almost expect to make the same mistakes and have the same heartbreak as previous relationships. While there is a desire to continue the relationship, there is also a desire to leave it in the perfect state it is in the early stages, as not to have the same chance at heartbreak as previous relationships.

Because of these dual possible meanings this is a wonderful and widely applicable song. Further, the music and passion in his voice are fantastic.

I love this song and pretty much agree amb7s

My wife of 3 year marriage been listening to this song and we are now on temp separation for 1 month. when she told me to listen, I finally understand what she is feeling. I feel my heart broken and completely lost. because I love her so much and want to do anything to make it work.

I love this song. I think its about a guy who grew up a certain way. Maybe hangs out with the wrong people or has a bad past. He tries to change himself for the better but he can't. He loves her but knows if she is with him. Her life wouldn't get anywhere. She wouldn't be happy. He loves her too much to tell her because he hates seeing her cry. So he's telling her. Save yourself by leaving me now for someone else. Its basically about loving someone so much and wanting the best for them. Knowing you're not able to give what they want. Kind of like the notebook where poor noah meets the family of the girl and he doesn't feel good enough because he's just low class and he wanted better for her.

That's what I think.
