Heartbeat Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Thinking that I need you to go now
'Cause this could really get out of hand (Oh, wow)

I’m hiding things I don't wanna show now (Oh, wow)
'Cause I don’t know if you're ready for that

[Pre-Chorus]
I was busy sleeping, sleeping with you
I thought I'd never feel this way, but I do


[Chorus]
And I don't wanna tell you
Anything about me
'Cause everything about you
Is speeding up my heartbeat
And I don't wanna tell you
You're better off without me, ah, ah
'Cause everything about you
Is speeding up my, speeding up my
Speeding up my, speeding up my
Heartbeat, heartbeat
Heartbeat, heart

[Verse 2]
Everything’s a little bit clearer
How my body feels in your hands
It makes me want to get a little bit nearer
Yeah, but I don’t know if you're ready for that
[Pre-Chorus]
I was busy sleeping, sleeping with you
I thought I’d never feel this way, but I do

[Chorus]
And I don't wanna tell you (I don't wanna tell you)
Anything about me (Anything about me)
'Cause everything about you (’Cause everything about you)
Is speeding up my heartbeat
And I don't wanna tell you (I don't wanna tell you)
You're better off without me, ah, ah
'Cause everything about you ('Cause everything about you)
Is speeding up my, speeding up my
Speeding up my, speeding up my
Heartbeat, heartbeat
Heartbeat, heart

[Bridge]
I don't know if you should hear this
'Cause it's a mess inside my head
Maybe you should go instead (You should go)
I'm suddenly scared of my feelings
This might be all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted to happen to me
To me, to me
You've been like a light
Like a light

[Chorus]
And I don't wanna tell you (I don't wanna tell you)
Anything about me (Anything about me)
'Cause everything about you ('Cause everything about you)
Is speeding up my heartbeat
And I don't wanna tell you (I don't wanna tell you)
You're better off without me, ah, ah
'Cause everything about you
Is speeding up my, speeding up my
Speeding up my, speeding up my
Heartbeat (Heartbeat), heartbeat (Speeding)
Heartbeat, heart

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Different from “Window”, where Carly asks her partner to open up so she can enter, in “Heartbeat” the singer is very reclusive and afraid to show who she really is, for fear of her partner not liking her.
