How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Can You Feel My Heart” is the opening track and third single (fourth in the US) from Bring Me The Horizon’s fourth studio album Sempiternal. The song leads with Oliver Sykes’ depression.

The song’s looped vocal pattern was created by Fish as Sykes couldn’t think of lyrics that fit in the chorus, but they then became a significant part of the song’s structure.

The song is credited by Sykes as:

Admitting you have a problem, and admitting something’s wrong. That’s the first step of the whole album.

This was the turning point; it was the first one that Jordan [Fish, keyboardist] really got his teeth into, and obviously you can hear that because it’s very heavy on the electronica. It was floating around for ages, and I think it really started to shine when we took my vocal lead and used it [on the keyboard parts] for the chorus.
