Cover art for The Heart of Life lyrics by John Mayer

great song. its about breaking up with someone.

"you know it's nothing new that news never had good timing"

its a terrible feeling to break up with someone (most of the time) and there is never really a good time to do so.

"pain throws your heart to the ground love turns the whole thing around"

breaking up hurts real bad, but love from those who care about you, like family and freinds, will make you feel better.

"but then the circle of your friends will defend the silver lining"

your freinds will be there for you, to make you feel better.

"heart of life is good"

although the hear of life (love) can cause you pain, its still a good thing. Love is still a good thing, and will continue to be around you in good ways. (family,freinds, a new loved ones)

@Dorias "You know it's nothing new, BAD news never had good timing". 11 years later and I still have to correct you lol
