John Mayer's "Half Of My Heart" Lyrics

I was born in the arms of imaginary friendsFree to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been
Then you come on crashing inLike the realest thingTrying my best to understandAll that your love can bring
Oh, half of my heart's got a grip on the situationHalf of my heart takes timeHalf of my heart's got a right mindTo tell you that I can't keep lovin' you, can't keep lovin' youOh, with half of my heart
I was made to believe I'd never love somebody elseMade a plan, stay the man who can only love himself
Lonely was the song I sang'Til the day you cameShowing me another wayAnd all that my love can bring
Oh, half of my heart's got a grip on the situationHalf of my heart takes timeHalf of my heart's got a right mindTo tell you that I can't keep lovin' you, can't keep lovin' youOh, with half of my heart, with half of my heart
Your faith is strong, but I can only fall short for so longDown the road, later onYou will hate that I never gave more to youThan half of my heart
But I can't stop lovin' you, I can't stop lovin' youI can't stop lovin' you, I can't stop lovin' you,I can't stop lovin' you with half of myHalf of my heart, oh half of my heart
Half of my heart's got a real good imaginationHalf of my heart's got youHalf of my heart's got a right mind to tell youThat half of my heart won't do
Half of my heart is a shot gun weddingTo a bride with a paper ringAnd half of my heart is the part of a manWho's never truly loved anything
Half of my heart, oh half of my heartHalf of my heart, oh half of my heartHalf of my heart, oh half of my heart

Dear John (Speak Now)

Hidden Message: Loved You From The Very First Day

Dear John is Swift’s only track off Speak Now to directly address someone by name. Although many originally speculated that the song would refer to the traditional Dear John letter, she later confirmed that one of the songs on the album used, in typical Swift fashion, the guy’s real name. Her victim is singer-songwriter John Mayer who has known Swift for several years. The two have been linked many times over the last few years in addition to releasing a song together (Half Of My Heart). Swift has admitted that Dear John and The Story of Us share a suitor. The hidden message in the lyric booklet also hints to one of the album’s bonus tracks , reading, “loved you from the very first day.” This leads to the conclusion that Mr. Mayer inspired not one – not two – but at least three songs on Speak Now (though we have a feeling that Haunted is about him too).
