A Good Heart Lyrics

I hear a lot of stories I suppose they could be true All about love and what it can do to you Highest risk of striking out The risk of getting hurt And still, I have so much to learn I know, 'cause I think about it all the time I know, that real love has quite a price And a good heart, these days, is hard to find (a good heart) True love, the lasting kind A good heart, these days, is hard to find So please be gentle with this heart of mine My expectations may be high I blamed it on my youth Soon enough, I'll learned the painful truth I'll face it like a fighter Then boast of how I've grown Anything is better than being alone I know, 'cause I learn a little every day I know, 'cause I listen when the experts say That a good heart, these days, is hard to find (a good heart) True love, the lasting kind A good heart, these days, is hard to find So please be gentle with this heart of mine As I look back on all my childhood dreams My ideas of love weren't As foolish as they seemed If I don't start looking now I'll be left behind And a good heart these days, it's hard to find I know, it's a dream I'm willing to defend I know, it will all be worth it in the end And a good heart, these days, is hard to find (a good heart) True love, the lasting kind A good heart, these days, is hard to find So please be gentle with this heart of mine And a good heart, these days, is hard to find (a good heart) True love, the lasting kind A good heart, these days, is hard to find So please be gentle with this, with this heart of mine A good heart A good heart A good heart A good heart A good heart A good heart

Meaning of A Good Heart

“A Good Heart” by Feargal Sharkey is a poignant reflection on the elusive nature of true love and the vulnerability inherent in seeking it. The song expresses a wistful longing for lasting connection amidst tales of heartbreak and disappointment, acknowledging that “a good heart, these days, is hard to find.” Sharkey’s voice conveys both youthful idealism – marked by high expectations and past mistakes – and a growing understanding of love's complexities and potential pain. He pleads for gentle consideration, recognizing his own flawed perspective shaped by childhood dreams, urging listeners not to abandon the pursuit of genuine affection. Despite acknowledging the risks involved, there’s an underlying determination to persevere, suggesting that holding onto hope and a compassionate heart is ultimately worth striving for, even if finding it proves challenging in a world where “true love, the lasting kind” feels increasingly rare.
