Take It To the Heart' is Odette’s first single of her second album ‘To a Stranger’.
Odette described ‘Take It To the Heart’ as “the only revenge song” she had ever sung. Odette went on to explain “It’s not so much revenge in the sense that you will for or enact pain on another person, more so you...
[Verse 1]
I am a fire under wind
I am a lion deep within
I don't want you to slow me down
I don't want you to stall me
You got claws, scratch away at me
Rag doll, fall down, make a meal of me
I am the sand, you are the sea
You are all of me, you drown me
[Pre-Chorus]
I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe
Sometimes I get a little bit overwhelmed
Then I can see, that my heart still beats
I got nothing but power, I'll strike you like lightning
[Chorus]
Take it to the heart, and wash it out
Go back to the start, it's raging now
Be a better fighter, lover, oh please
I don't want you to break me down
(No, no, no)
I don't want you to break me down (No)
[Verse 2]
Condemn me down to burning shores
You think I ain't been here before
I've been here way more times than you
Could ever dream to fathom
You want more, get away from me
I don't need you, goodness sake, I mean
How could you think you stand over me?
I'm alive now, electric
[Pre-Chorus]
I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe
Sometimes I get a little bit overwhelmed
Then I can see, that my heart still beats
I got nothing but power, I'll strike you like lightning
[Chorus]
Take it to the heart, and wash it out
Go back to the start, it's raging now
Be a better fighter, lover, oh please
I don't want you to break me down
[Verse 3]
Oh I rise up babe, I got you inside
You never wanted me to feel like I'm worth your time
Caught up in game after game but I am getting tired
You're on me just like a snake, ready to take my life
We gotta let this go, it's all over baby
Oh, wanna let you know I've strengthened over time
Us, like we never learned how to be seperated
Oh, wanna let you know I'm driftin' with the tide
[Chorus]
Take it to the heart, and wash it out
Go back to the start, it's raging now
Be a better fighter, lover, oh please
I don't want you to break me down
Take it to the heart, and wash it out
Go back to the start, it's raging now
Be a better fighter, lover, oh please
I don't want you to break me down
(No, no, no)
I don't want you to break me down
(No, no, no)
I don't want you to break me down
