One Direction – Half A Heart (Official Video)

How beautiful is the opening of this song! The lyrics are wonderful, symbolic, and truly moving.

It’s One Direction’s 2014 track “Half A Heart.” The song is sung from the perspective of a man thinking about the girlfriend he left back home.

It’s an almost unfairly touching scenario when they sing it, but I imagine many people find themselves in similar circumstances.

I want not only men but also women to listen to it—especially while carefully reading the lyrics.
