Analysis of Dear Heart



Dear heart, I'm sorry for making you suffer all this pain
I'm sorry for not having the courage to let go of a love in vain
And again it rained,
The heavens cried with us as I dance in the rain
With a bottle of champagne, it keeps me sane
Should I refrain?
Or am I going insane?

I can't deny I loved you
With every beat of my heart, I'll say "I Do"
Even though you left me feeling blue
You won't believe what I've been through
To love you...

Now I'm taking back the pieces of me that I gave you that night I said yes
I'm taking back the hugs and the kisses on the forehead, and all that caress
I'm taking back that piece of my soul that was patched on you when you were a mess
And I'm taking back my heart, I loved you before, I confess

Dear heart, you're now stronger than ever, even better
But please don't go bitter with the word "forever"
We've been through hell but we've made it together
Dear heart, I know you're tired, however,
Give love a chance and hope for the better

Dear heart, this is freedom
We've made it through this season
A painful journey with a reason
And now I'm writing because I'm out of this prison
