Heartbreaker
[Enrique Iglesias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a line that you cross
When you've lost
Someone and you can't accept it
Oh no, oh-oh

There's a space in between a denial
Knowing that I can't erase it
Can't face it
No

She'll never be the one who's gonna find themselves alone
No
She'll never be the one to bear the scars of what you've done
No

You're a heartbreaker, breaker
Tell me now
Why the hell you gotta be a heartbreaker, breaker
Leave me now
Why the hell you gotta be a heartbreaker

All the walls come down in the end
Nothing ever lasts forever
Oh, no, hey

There's a light up ahead
I know I'll get there
Each day can only make me stronger
Make me stronger, yeah

She'll never be the one who's gonna find themselves alone
No
She'll never be the one to bear the scars of what you've done
No

You're a heartbreaker, breaker
Tell me now
Why the hell you gotta be a heartbreaker, breaker
Leave me now
Why the hell you gotta be a heartbreaker
Breaker, breaker
Breaker, breaker

Whatever it is, whatever it was
I know you've done this before
I say whatever it is, whatever it was
I just gotta let it go

You're a heartbreaker, breaker
Tell me now
Why the hell you gotta be a heartbreaker, breaker
Leave me now

Tell me, tell me
Why'd you go and break my heart?
Tell me, tell me
Why'd you go and break my heart?

You're a heartbreaker, breaker
Tell me now
(Why'd you go and break my heart?)
Why the hell you gotta be a heartbreaker, breaker
Tell me, tell me
Leave me now (why'd you go and break my heart?)
Why the hell you gotta be a heartbreaker?
Breaker, breaker
Breaker, breaker
Breaker, breaker




Breaker, breaker
Breaker, breaker

Overall Meaning

In "Heartbreaker," Enrique Iglesias speaks about the pain and devastation of a broken heart. He describes the moment where one crosses the line of denial and accepts that the person they lost is gone forever. Despite this acceptance, he cannot erase the memories and pain, nor can he face it. The chorus is directed at the heartbreaker, who left him in pain, asking why they have to be the one to break hearts and leave him alone.


The second verse goes on to emphasize that the heartbreaker will never share the same pain, scars, or loneliness as the one whose heart was broken. Iglesias sings that nothing lasts forever, and eventually, all walls come down. He sees a light up ahead and hopes that each day will make him stronger. The bridge acknowledges that the heartbreaker has done this before and that he needs to let go of the past. The chorus repeats, fading out.
