Hello My Old Heart

This song is kind of my life. I see it as coming back to your old heart, your old feelings, after you've started your new life. All this time, it's been buried inside you, surrounded by "stones" because if you let it out, it will break, and so will you. You've buried it and numbed yourself against the pain, but it's resurfacing. You find yourself missing things from your old life: your ex, dead family, memories, objects, anything, and you want them to come back. Once you're finished reliving the old days, you lock away your old heart again. One day, you realize you can't be happy unless you relinquish the past, your old heart, and give it up. Only then can you move on. This is hard though, because you need the motivation to do this, and your old heart keeps you fixated, stuck.

"Don't you worry, in there you're safe And it's true, you'll never beat, but you'll never break"

Just the basic feeling that everyone goes through, wanting to protect yourself from the pain but also unfortunately keeping your heart from love as well.

Personally, maybe this is just me, but this song is more for the past pain we've all been through, Not with love, but anything at all. Once we've damaged ourselves so bad, we question whether anything is really worth putting our hearts on the line for. So we build walls of stone until we find a reason for the walls to be brought down.

Hence "And every day I add another stone to the walls I've built around you to keep you safe."

Sounds like the guy went through a break up and is welcoming his heart back into his body instead of giving it back to someone.

"Nothing lasts forever Some things aren't meant to be"

Then he comes through with an upbeat melody at the end of the song :D

Whenever I hear this song I kind of feel reminded of what it's like to love and lose, because it feels like something inside of you has been ripped out and torn to shreds, but after a while, you begin to hurt less and less until the pain is almost totally numbed and it is as if something that had been missing finally crawls back into your body.
