All My Heart Lyrics
There's faster ways of killing me if you needed me to bleed.
You didn't have to give my angel those broken knees.
And if you felt you had to punish me you could have taken anything.
You didn't have to hang my little angel from a string.
I've been calling all night and there wasn't any answer.
Something inside me won't let go.
I believe my life is over.
This is all that my heart can take.
I could have found a way of working this out. All you had to do was say.
Did you really think that I would rather see my light go down in chains?
Say he rolled over! Say he's alive! Say it's not over! Say it's a lie!
You didn't have to give my angel those broken knees.
You didn't have to hang my little angel from a string.
Something inside me won't let go.
I believe my life is over.
This is all that my heart can take.
Did you really think that I would rather see my light go down in chains?

This song is so powerful, I love every word! I think she says here that someone if torturing her, emotionally, and there was no need to kill all her hopes, her inner security (if the angel can be seen as one). She is so in love that she won’t let go of this person. Probably he has given up the relationship, but he ended it in such a way that hurt her the most. “there’s faster ways of killing me if you needed me to bleed.” This guy knows she can’t let go of him. But as much as she tried to work things out, he didn’t want to communicate, instead, it was easier to hurt her. It’s a bit confusing when she says “I believe my life is over, this is all that my heart can take”, maybe she can’t take it anymore, feeling this way. I could see another way of interpreting these lyrics. That her lover committed suicide that is why she says that she could have found a way to work things out, but his lack of communication ended to his demise. That is why she called all night to God (perhaps) and she can’t let go of the love for him, thus she thinks her life is over and her heart can’t take it anymore.
