Heartbreak Girl
5 Seconds of Summer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's like a broken record
Saying that your heart hurts
That you never get over him getting over you,
And you end up crying
And I end up lying,
'Cause I'm just a sucker for anything that you do
You say, "Thanks for being a friend,"
And we're going in circles again and again
I dedicate this song to you,
The one who never sees the truth,
That I can take away your hurt, heartbreak girl.
Hold you tight straight through the day light,
I'm right here, when you gonna realize
That I'm your cure, heartbreak girl?
I bite my tongue but I wanna scream out
You could be with me now
But I end up telling you what you wanna hear,
But you're not ready and it's so frustrating
He treats you so bad and I'm so good to you it's not fair.
And when the phone call finally ends
You say, "I'll call you tomorrow at 10,"
And I'm stuck in the friend zone again and again
I dedicate this song to you,
The one who never sees the truth,
That I can take away your hurt, heartbreak girl.
Hold you tight straight through the day light,
I'm right here, when you gonna realize
That I'm your cure, heartbreak girl?
I know someday it's gonna happen
And you'll finally forget the day you met him
Sometimes you're so close to your confession,
I gotta get it through your head
That you belong with me instead.
I dedicate this song to you,
The one who never sees the truth,
That I can take away your hurt, heartbreak girl.
Hold you tight straight through the day light,
I'm right here, when you gonna realize
That I'm your cure, heartbreak girl?

"Heartbreak Girl" by 5 Seconds of Summer is a song about a guy who is in love with a girl who is emotionally distressful after getting over a breakup. The song is narrated by the guy who is always there for the girl, being her emotional support even though she never acknowledges him or his love. The girl keeps calling him up and crying about how much she's hurting, and even though the guy knows that she needs him only as a friend, he can't help but fall for her every time. The chorus goes on to tell the girl to see the truth, that the guy is the cure for her heartbreak, and she will eventually realize that he is the one who belongs to her.
The guy tries to take care of the girl, but she is still hung up on the past yet he always ends up lying to the girl just to console her. Throughout the song, there's this theme of being stuck in frustrating situations, which is further emphasized in the lines, "And we're going in circles again and again," and "I'm stuck in the friend zone again and again." The guy is always stuck in the friend zone, and no matter how hard he tries, he can never seem to get out.
Overall, "Heartbreak Girl" is a song about unrequited love, heartbreak, and frustration.
