There's The Girl

Heart's song 'There's The Girl' delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the struggle to let go of an idealized person. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has been searching for the 'perfect touch' but finds themselves entangled in the complexities of their feelings. The metaphor of a 'polished diamond' that now feels 'kinda rough' suggests a person who once felt confident and complete but is now worn down by the emotional strain of their pursuit.

The chorus emphasizes the internal conflict, with the repeated line 'There's the girl that you were after' highlighting the persistent longing and the heart's inability to move on. The physical reaction of a 'heart beating faster' signifies the intense emotional response that the mere thought of this person evokes. The lyrics also suggest a sense of self-deception, as the protagonist tries to convince themselves that the girl 'ain't good enough' for them, yet their eyes 'are just about to give you away,' revealing the truth of their lingering desire.

The song also touches on the theme of broken dreams and disillusionment. Phrases like 'broken glass, complete disaster' convey the shattered hopes and the chaotic aftermath of chasing an unattainable ideal. The repetition of 'Can you say that you don't want her anymore' serves as a poignant reminder of the difficulty in letting go, even when logic dictates otherwise. Heart's powerful delivery and emotive lyrics capture the essence of this universal struggle, making 'There's The Girl' a resonant anthem for anyone grappling with the pain of unfulfilled love.
