Coming off the Bad Bad Hats' second album Lightning Round, Write It On Your Heart is a breakup song about a partner who clearly does not care about the songwriter. The title is a reference to the Ralph Waldo Emerson poem Write It On Your Heart.
Write it in a book, dear
Don’t waste my time
Save it for your diary
Don’t try to ease my mind
Love was growing teeth
You were spitting blood
Write it on your heart, dear
You were never mine
Spare me your love
I don’t deserve anything
That’s how you made me feel
Traded me for a stranger, baby
Spare me your love
Cause maybe you’re a stranger to me too
Write it in a book, dear
Don’t waste my time
Save it for your diary
Don’t try to ease my mind
Love started running
Before it was through
Write it on your heart, dear
Am I the one you choose?
Spare me your love
I don’t deserve anything
That’s how you made me feel
Traded me for a stranger, baby
Spare me your love
Cause maybe you’re a stranger to me too
Crying on the phone already
And you always know it
Wanna say the perfect thing
But I always blow it
If you do not want my love
Then I will help you throw it out
Spare me your love
Cause maybe you’re a stranger to me too
Spare me your love
I don’t deserve anything
That’s how you made me feel
Traded me for a stranger, baby
Spare me your love
Cause maybe you’re a stranger to me too
