Heartbreaker
5A - Mstrkrkft Featuring John Legend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You gave me rainbows and butterflies
We did enjoy our happiness?
When our love was over
I was such a mess
I smiled at you
And you smiled back
There's no turning back
You said you loved me
And I did too
Now though it's over
I still love you
You're in my mind
You're in my heart
I wish I knew right from the start
All my friends said you break my heart
A heartbreaker right from the start
I tried to fight it
I tried so hard
And every day
I pray to god
That you and me were meant to be
But you had another
You had a lover
And now is gone
I don't know why
I feel like crying
Just want to die
I can't look at you
And you know why
No, I tried so hard
To catch your eye
You're in my mind
You're in my heart
I wish I knew right from the start
All my friends said you break my heart
A heartbreaker right from the start
You're in my mind
You're in my heart
I wish I knew right from the start
All my friends said you break my heart
A heartbreaker right from the start

Remember when I caught your eye
I recall when I first caught your attention
You gave me rainbows and butterflies
You brought joy and love into my world
We did enjoy our happiness?
Once upon a time, were we happy together?
When our love was over
Once it was clear that our love had come to an end
I was such a mess
I was a complete disaster, emotionally
I smiled at you
I greeted you with a smile
And you smiled back
You returned the favor with a smile of your own
That's when I knew
At that moment, I realized
There's no turning back
I couldn't reverse my feelings from that moment on
You said you loved me
You expressed your affection for me
And I did too
I reciprocated those feelings
Now though it's over
However, now that it's ended
I still love you
I still have strong emotions for you
You're in my mind
I can't get you out of my thoughts
You're in my heart
I can't stop loving you
I wish I knew right from the start
I wish I had been aware of what was going to happen from the beginning
All my friends said you break my heart
My friends warned me that you were going to hurt me
A heartbreaker right from the start
They knew from the outset that you were the cause of sorrow
I tried to fight it
I attempted to resist these intense emotions
I tried so hard
I gave it my all
And every day
Every day, without fail
I pray to god
I begged for help from a higher power
That you and me were meant to be
That we were destined to be together
But you had another
Yet, you were with someone else
You had a lover
Another person held your affection
And now is gone
Now it's all over
I don't know why
I'm unsure of why this is happening
I feel like crying
I'm overwhelmed with emotion and feel like weeping
Just want to die
I feel like giving up on life
I can't look at you
I can't bring myself to gaze at you
And you know why
You understand the reason behind my behavior
