Cut Straight To The Heart Lyrics

I never saw this coming
Since the beginning you were in control
And now my heart is drumming
Believe this love could maybe save my soul

I hear a voice out of the silence
That can always bring me home

Don't let me go
Now I'm right where I want to be
Don't let me go
You cut straight to the heart of me

Forever want for nothing
Caught in a place where I'm released from fear
So in my dreams I'm running
Towards the light that came and brought us here

I hear a voice out of the silence
That can always bring me home

Don't let me go
Now I'm right where I want to be
Don't let me go
You cut straight to the heart of me

The heart of me
Straight through the heart of me

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.

I never saw this coming Since the beginning you were in control: Sophie never thought her lover would be this different. The second line might be the opposite meaning that she was in control but now her lover is in control. And now my heart is drumming Believe this love could maybe save my soul She is scared and anxious. Maybe Sophie could help the situation. I hear a voice out of the silence That can always bring me home Someone she has lost is telling her what to do to stop the fight. Don't let me go Now I'm right where I want to be Don't let me go You cut straight to the heart of me She doesn’t want her partner to abandon her and Sophie wants it to be as it used to be. Cut to the heart means making someone so distressed that it actually damages their emotional health and recovering for a long time. Forever want for nothing Caught in a place where I'm released from fear So in my dreams I'm running Towards the light that came and brought us here She’s having a dream where Fear is banished from sight. To leave the dream, she heads to the light that began the dream.

So a song about a break up where Sophie tries to prevent it by talking to her deceased relative. She dreams that they are still together even though they are probably not.
