Be Still My Heart Lyrics

My heart's not lonely or broken
Is not of ice or of gold
Nor has my heart ever spoken
To me when a love has grown cold

I felt not the faintest flutter
When you brushed my cheek as you passed
Nor will I willingly clutter
My life with these things that don't last

Be still my heart
My heart be still

If our eyes should meet then so-be-it
No need to trouble a heart that's hidden
Where no-one can free it
Only to tear it apart

Be still my heart
My heart be still

Beware, beware, beware
Take care, take care

Be still my heart
My heart be still

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Hey, last week I heard this song and I am not sure with the meaning in every detail. I think that she is like feeling nothing because of all the curious things that happens when you love. For me it sounds like she was loving a long time. Later she goes truthful to herself and realised that there is no special on the person that she loves ("I felt not the faintest flutter, When you brushed my cheek as you passed"). She feels nothing, when they touch eachother slightly. What do you think about?
