Break Your Little Heart
All Time Low Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were fake, I was great, nothing personal
I'm walking, who's laughing now?
(Who's laughing, who's laughing now?)
I'm wasted, wasting time
You talk for hours but you're wasting lines
A pretty face but the chase ain't worth the prize
I'm gonna break your little heart
Watch you take the fall
Laughing all the way to the hospital
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
When I break your little heart in two
I'm gonna break your little heart in two
A party queen, cause a scene, so ridiculous
Little dress, maybe less, so conspicuous
You're falling, who's crashing now?
(Who's crashing, who's crashing now?)
I'm wasted, wasting time
I'm moving on but you're left behind
A pretty face but the chase ain't worth the prize
I'm gonna break your little heart
Watch you take the fall
Laughing all the way to the hospital
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
I'm gonna break your little heart
Show you to the door
Sew yourself shut and now you're begging for more
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
When I break your little heart in two
Don't be so sentimental, no
This is love is accidental, so
Give it up, this was never meant to be
More than a memory for you
I'm gonna break your little heart
Watch you take the fall
Laughing all the way to the hospital
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
(When I break your little heart in two)
I'm gonna break your little heart
Show you to the door
Sew yourself shut, now you're begging for more
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
When I break your little heart in two
The lyrics of "Break Your Little Heart" by All Time Low are an expression of contempt towards a former lover. The first verse portrays the persona as awake and regretting the relationship, while reflecting on how predictable it was. The persona accuses their lover of being fake while thier performance was great. In the line "I'm walking, who's laughing now?" the persona is announcing their departure from the relationship, indicating that they are not just going to sit and watch their ex laugh at them.
In the chorus, the persona confirms that they are moving on and that they intend to break their lover's heart. They are not only going to watch them him/her take the fall but they will also go to the hospital with amusement. It is the unquantifiable emotional pain that The persona intends to inflict that the surgery cannot fix. In the second verse, the persona further insults the their ex, describing him/her as a party queen who caused a scene and wore revealing clothes all in the name of attention. The persona is saying that he/she is not falling for their ex’s tricks anymore.
In the bridge, the persona rejects the idea of sentimentality or hope of reconciliation. To the persona, their relationship is not worth anything meaningful other than being relegated to memory. Through using a language of indifference, the persona displays nothing but disdain towards their former lover.
Overall, the lyrics in "Break Your Little Heart" serve as an indictment of a lover's deceitful and manipulative nature, and a declaration of the persona's freedom from the relationship.

Wide awake, my mistake, so predictable
I realize what I did wrong and it was obvious
You were fake, I was great, nothing personal
You pretended to be something you're not, but it doesn't affect me
I'm walking, who's laughing now? (Who's laughing, who's laughing now?)
I'm moving on and wondering who's still trying to mock me
I'm wasted, wasting time
I'm drunk and not doing anything productive
You talk for hours but you're wasting lines
You talk a lot, but everything you say is pointless
A pretty face but the chase ain't worth the prize
You are physically attractive, but pursuing you isn't worth it
I'm gonna break your little heart
I intend to hurt you emotionally
Watch you take the fall
I'll enjoy seeing you suffer the consequences of our relationship

No amount of medical help can heal emotional damage
A party queen, cause a scene, so ridiculous

You're falling, who's crashing now? (Who's crashing, who's crashing now?)
You're losing control and I'm curious to see where it leads you
I'm moving on but you're left behind
I'm ready to leave this relationship, but you're still stuck in it
Show you to the door
I'm done with you and it's time for you to leave
Sew yourself shut and now you're begging for more
You tried to protect your heart, but now you're desperate for love
Don't be so sentimental, no
Don't get emotional about this, it was just a fling
This love is accidental, so
Our relationship wasn't planned or meant to last
Give it up, this was never meant to be
We were never meant to be together
More than a memory for you
Our time together won't be a significant part of your life

Wide awake, my mistake
So predictable
You were fake, I was great
Nothing personal

Who's laughing now?
(Who's laughing, who's laughing now?)
I'm wasted, wasting time
You talk for hours
But you're wasting lines
A pretty face but the chase
Ain't worth the prize
I'm gonna break your little heart
Watch you take the fall
Laughing all the way to the hospital
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
When I break your little heart in two
I'm gonna break your little heart in two
Party queen, cause a scene
So ridiculous
Little dress, maybe less
So conspicuous
You're falling
Who's crashing now?
(Who's crashing, who's crashing now?)
I'm wasted, wasting time
I'm moving on
But you're left behind
A pretty face with the chace
Ain't worth the price
I'm gonna break your little heart
Watch you take the fall
Laughing all the way to the hospital
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
I'm gonna break your little heart
Show you to the door
Sew yourself shut
Now you're begging for more
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
When I break your little heart in two
Don't be so sentimental, no
This is love is accidental, so

I'm gonna break your little heart
Show you to the door
Sew yourself shut
Now you're begging for more
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
When I break your little heart in two
