Fidelity
(Shake it up)

I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music

And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart

And suppose I never ever met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never ever saw you
Suppose we never ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall

All my friends say that of course its gonna get better
Gonna get better
Better better better better
Better better better

I never love nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting by heart truly
I got lost
In the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind
All this music
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart

I hear in my mind all of these voices
I hear in my mind all of these words
I hear in my mind all of this music

Breaks my
Heart
Breaks my heart

The, not so traditional, love song of the album. Every artist has at least one, vague enough for everyone to connect to, but just secretively personal enough for the artist them self. This song is chalk full of varied vocal techniques, I'm able to listen to it over and over and never get bored of it.

One technique she uses in this song that I am familiar with, due to my choir knowledge obtained in concert choir,(large group of choral singers) and madrigal (smaller group of singers) classes I take in school, is the glottal stop . She also tends to use a strong New York accent, which I've read is becuase she is in fact just in "love" with the culture.
