Cover art for Hardest of Hearts lyrics by Florence + the Machine

I thought that this song was about one person in the relationship that was not as expressive as the other and it ended up hurting the other person. But then I was watching my favorite tv show and there was this scene where someone was going to tell someone else how they felt about them, but ended up not saying anything and they ended up with a broken heart instead of a nice, complete heart which is what they would have had if they had just told the other person, because the feelings were reciprocated. This situation also happened to the other person too and the results were the same. So I just thought of this song, and how maybe it is talking not of one person not telling the other how they felt in a relationship and it ended up hurting the other person, but how one person not telling the other how they felt when they WEREN'T in a relationship, and they ended up breaking their own heart.
