Heart Beats Slow Lyrics

Well I heared you were (you were a lion)
About how brave you are
Well I heared you were (you were still trying)
Trying to get back to the start

And we won’t let it into the kitchen
No we won’t let it into the house
No we won’t let it through the front door
'coz its burning our pretty little heart

I'm gonna miss you
Gonna miss you girl
And all of the things we should have done

You say I move so fast
That you can hardly see
You say I move so fast
How could you notice me?

But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow

Well I wish you, wish you well
All the best
Well I wish you, I wish you well
All the best

But we won’t let it into the kitchen
No we won’t let it into the house
No we won’t let it through the front door
'coz it's burning a pretty little heart

You said I move so fast
That you can hardly see
You say I move so fast
How could you be with me?

But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow

Well I heared you were (you were a lion)
About how brave you are 
Well I heared you were (you were still trying)
Trying to get back to the start

And we won’t let it into the kitchen
No we won’t let it into the house
No we won’t let it through the front door
'coz its burning our pretty little heart

I'm gonna miss you 
Gonna miss you girl
And all of the things we should have done

You say I move so fast
That you can hardly see
You say I move so fast
How could you notice me?

But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow

Well I wish you, wish you well
All the best
Well I wish you, I wish you well
All the best

But we won’t let it into the kitchen
No we won’t let it into the house
No we won’t let it through the front door
'coz it's burning a pretty little heart

You said I move so fast
That you can hardly see
You say I move so fast
How could you be with me?

But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow
But my heart beats slow

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.
