Your Heart Is for Breaking
Anne Heaton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It in/ And kicked it in anyway/At least since it broke her heart/ She
Remembered why we do this
Whether you're listening or not listening/ We're going to kick it
Out/ And kick it out gladly/ If it had been perfect/ She would not
Remember why we do this
Your troubling path
Makes you see beauty
You otherwise never would have
She sits at her piano/ You down
With your pen/ Another at his
Canvas/ And we all begin to speak
As the tears come raining down
We wonder why we kept the
Pain locked up inside
Our hearts are for breaking
Our troubling path
Makes us see beauty
We otherwise never would have
Well it broke her heart/ But if
It didn't break/ She would have
Kicked it in/ And kicked it in
Anyway/ And if it had been perfect
She would not remember why we do this
Your heart is for breaking/ Your troubling path/ Makes you see beauty
You otherwise never would have/ Our hearts are for breaking
Our troubling, tiresome path/ Makes us write letters to our loved
Ones/ Gives us stories we can tell
The lyrics of Anne Heaton's song Your Heart Is for Breaking talk about the beauty of life's struggles and how they contribute to our growth and creativity. The first verse refers to a situation where something broke the singer's heart, but she realized that the experience was worth it. If it had been perfect and nothing had shattered, she wouldn't have remembered why we do this. This implies that the struggles we face in life remind us of the importance of embracing the imperfections and challenges that help us grow.
The second verse talks about how everyone has something to contribute, whether or not others are listening. When we put our hearts into what we do, it is apparent, and it is something that cannot be ignored. The chorus of the song emphasizes the power in recognizing that our hearts are meant to break and that the difficult paths we experience help us see beauty we wouldn't otherwise see.
The third verse underscores how important it is for us to connect with others, the need for human connection, and the shedding of tears, acknowledging that sometimes we've kept the pain locked up inside for too long. The overall sentiment of the song is that our hearts are meant to break; it's a part of life's process, and it helps us become better versions of ourselves. The ups and downs, twists and turns, joys and sorrows all play a role in shaping our lives towards goodness, creativity, and beauty.

Well it broke her heart
When something went wrong, it caused a lot of emotional pain for her
But if it didn't break
If everything went as planned and nothing went wrong
She would have kicked It in
She would have kept trying until she got it right, even if it didn't work the first time
And kicked it in anyway
Even if she knew it wasn't perfect
At least since it broke her heart
But because it went wrong, she was motivated to keep trying
She remembered why we do this
She remembered why she wanted to pursue her dreams
Whether you're listening or not listening
Regardless of who is paying attention or not
We're going to kick it out
We will continue to try our best
And kick it out gladly
We will do it with joy and enthusiasm
If it had been perfect
If everything had gone perfectly
She would not remember why we do this
She would not have had the same motivation to keep trying and pursuing her dreams
Your heart is for breaking
Experiencing heartbreak is necessary to fully appreciate beauty in life
Your troubling path
The struggle and challenges we face in life
Makes you see beauty you otherwise never would have
Difficulties in life give us a different perspective and help us appreciate the good things
She sits at her piano
She finds solace in music
You down with your pen
You write to express your emotions
Another at his canvas
Someone else finds expression through art
And we all begin to speak
We find common ground in creativity and expression
As the tears come raining down
Emotions are often sparked during the creative process
We wonder why we kept the pain locked up inside
The act of creation allows us to release pent up emotions and feelings
Our hearts are for breaking
Everyone goes through heartbreak at some point in life
Our troubling path
The difficult journey we take in life
Makes us see beauty we otherwise never would have
The struggle and pain give us a different perspective and help us appreciate the good things
Makes us write letters to our loved Ones
The creative process can inspire us to connect with loved ones in meaningful ways
Gives us stories we can tell
We can use our experiences to share stories and connect with others
