Lambert, Mary - This Heart Lyrics






This heart is tired and old
This heart is charcoal and cold
This heart throws the white flag where it gets hard and numb

I give up, I give in
To the whole of your skin
I give up, I give in
When you let go up again
I give up, I give in
Am I doing this again?
I give up
(We cannot go back)
(We cannot go back)
(We cannot go back)

This heart's been sleeping for months
This heart can't wait to see you
This heart doesn't wanna convince you that
This heart will not collapse
(This heart)
(This heart)

(What are you doing in these chambers?
And why are you sleeping in my ventricles?)
(What are you doing in these chambers?
And why are you sleeping in my ventricles?)

I give up, I give in
To the whole of your skin
(I give up, I give in
Am I doing this again?)
And I give up
I give in
(We cannot go back)
(We cannot go back)
(We cannot go back)
We cannot go...

  8. A.... M....

    Yas girl. Same. You have stolen my heart, Mary. Unfortunately, you'll never know I exist. 💔

  9. M.... B....

    gosh this is so fucking beautiful

  10. j.... c....

    The line "this heart is tired" is too real jfc

  11. N.... D....

    I wrote a suicide note to Alexander it still sits in an empty box...

  12. A.... ....

    i discover mary lambert with "secrets" thanks to b.o.b and i have to admit, i listen to rnb or rap but i love mary lambert. For me, she is better then Adele or better than other female singers
    Love from France Mary. Love your album Heart on my sleeve.

    A.... ....

    Yeah, I completely agree. Modern singers like Adele is way too overrated. I don't really like Adele at all. Mary Lambert is one of the singers that may not be popular, but also very talented!

    A.... ....

    I think part of Mary's reason for being is you don't have to knock somebody else down in order to lift somebody else up...Adele is a fine vocalist, so let her do her thing....let's talk about Mary here, and how great SHE is...and perhaps discover some other artists we can get behind

    A.... ....

    AGREED!!!!!!

    A.... ....

    Soren Aleksander you're right 🙂

  13. B.... A....

    so relatable..... its actually scary. you feel so empty and then you hear something that kind of exhibits sparks through your body ....like you've almost got shocked back to life, yet you're still a ghost. I don't know. just thank you Mary Lambert.

  14. H.... S....

    that piano....knew how my heart felt before she even started singing

  15. H.... H....

    I heard this song when i broke up. It showed a lot of memories, till my tears down .

  16. S.... S....

    Give up..my heart hurts..I love him so much..

  17. B.... C....

    Mary Lambert, I know you will never get to read this. But I absolutely love and admire you. I don't know where I would be without you and your wonderful lyrics. Honestly. I really have been struggling to pull myself up. I don't know why, but I feel like you understand me. /: ugh i'm such a freak. I just wanted you to know you're my greatest inspiration. You're completely amazing and i love you. You're beyond perfection, thank you for giving me hope. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 
    I hope you realize what a big fan I am.. c: YOU'RE GORGEOUS!!!! i love you so much. Thank you once again. >-> I really hope this comment doesn't stay unseen but if it does, its okay. ( I loves youuuu!!)

    Her music is so powerful because she opens her soul and pours it out of her mouth. Her voice, her writing, all of it expresses emotion so deeply.  That she is so young and has this...is stunning.  May she sing and bless us all with that beauty for a very long time.  

  34. c.... ....

    Her music is art.

  38. g.... ....

    wow .... shes amazing , my ex-gf told me about her .. nd i think she is wonderful

  60. C.... E....

    how are you not insanely famous???? YOUR VOICE IS AMAZING

  61. P.... S....

    Mary sounds a litle bit like Maria Mena. I like both voices may be more people do?

  62. O.... L....

    I think she has an extremely beautiful voice. There's always going to be someone out there who ppl are going to compare you to but in the end it's your voice and your talent that has us listening! Adele is Adele and Mary is Mary they are two different ppl singing about two different things! I would sooo love mary lambert to sing at my wedding!! Kudos girl!!

  63. I.... ....

    Yeah, it is about diversity. The comment, if you recall, said why can't we have both? They are different singers therefore we have diversity. Biodiversity is also one of the 3 stages of stability so diversity is the way of life

  64. M.... E....

    its not about diversity really. But what would i know. Sorry if i startled you.

  65. P.... ....

    Such an amazing voice!

  66. t.... m....

  67. I.... ....

    Agreed, diversity is the way of life
