To the beat of my
To the beat of my
To the beat of my heart

I'm thinking about,
Letting it out.
I wanna give in,
I wanna go out.
Been looking around
I've finally found,
The rhythm of love,
The feeling of sound.
It's making a change,

The feeling is strange.
It's coming right back.
Right back in my range.
Not worried about anything else,
I'm waking up

To the beat of my,
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my heart.

[Chorus]
The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
It tears us apart.
The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
Now I'm back to the start.
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my heart,

I'm up from my down.
I turn it around.
I'm making it back,
I'm not gonna drown.
I'm taking a stance.
I won't miss a chance.
I want you to see
I'm not scared to dance.

The way that you feel
Could never be real.
I want you to know I finished the deal.
So I'm sayin' to you
I'll always be true.
To the rhythm inside,

To the beat of my,
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my heart,

[Chorus]

Away away,
Away away,
Away away,
Away away,
Away away,
Away away,
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my heart,
Away away,
Away away,
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my heart,

The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
It tears us apart,
The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
Now I'm back to the start,

[Chorus]

Away away,
Away away,
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my heart,
Away away,
Away away,
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my heart

    Song Meaning:Beat of My Heart is a break up song, look at the verse and the chorus makes a lot sense. Its a lot more meaningful than people think.

    Quote
    "I'm up from my down, I turn it around, I'm not going back, I'm not gonna drown, I'm taking a stance, I won't miss a chance, I want you to see, I'm not here to dance. The way the you feel could never be real, I want you to know that I've finished the deal, so I'm saying to you that I'll always be true to the rhythm inside, to the beat of my heart. The beat of my heart, yeah it tears us apart."

    HiIlary Duff is saying that she's not going to be in denial any more. She doesn't see any love in this relationship. She wants to show the person she's not here to play games. Duff is ready to leave this relationship without turning back, listening to her heart (hence "to the beat of my heart"). Duff following her heart causes the relationship to break, "the beat of my heart, yeah it tears us apart..."

    "Been looking around, I've finally found, the rhythm of love, the feeling of sound. Its making a change, the feeling is strange, its coming right back, right back in my range. I'm not worried about anything else. I'm waking up to the beat of my heart."

    Duff's heart wants to be free, she can sense that the relationship she's in is not true love. Duff found someone else whom she's able to connect with, the metaphor of her heart beating creating a sound she's never felt before. This new found true love is making Duff see everything in a different light, and turning her into a different person. No longer scared, Duff chooses to follow her heart "I'm not worried about anything else. I'm waking up to the beat of my heart."

    Quote
    "Away, away, away... to the beat of my heart."

    The song ends with Duff saying she's leaving the relationship and she no longer has any feelings towards the person she's breaking up with, all of this is coming from her heart. Duff is ready to move on, away.

    My Opinion:I just want to ask why people are saying she sucks if your looking up her damned lryics? Hilary is talented, if you don't like her then don't listen to her stuff. It's that simple...And even though they're opinions, you still shouldn't bash her out. You don't like her, don't listen to her. Very simple.

    General Comment:I like Hilary Duff (That's right I do. Deal with it) But this song is just irrevocably terrible. I'm sure she regrets it.

    General Comment:Pahaha
    You guys make me giggle XD
    I have to say I quite like Hilary Duff,
    As I quite like cheesy pop,
    And jungle/industrial music...
    Figure that one out... XD
    I agree with the "It's okay to be gay" theory some people had,
    It seems to make sense,
    And this song is soo damn catchy =D
