Discover the story of the song > Little Black Heart – A Ha

The protagonist is feeling very sad and dark. They have never felt this way before. Their partner tells them that things will get better and that it's okay, but the protagonist disagrees. They compare their sadness to raindrops on a window and say that they can't tell the difference between the raindrops and the things they have forgiven. The protagonist repeats that they never felt darkness like they do tonight. They hope that one day they will be happy again, like the moon in the morning and the sun when it rises. The song ends with the protagonist repeating the phrase "little black heart", which represents their sadness.
