Heartbreaker
Axel Rudi Pell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Not long ago we saw each other
For the first time at a show of a friend
We talked for hours in a round
We were glad that we've been found

And the sparkle in your eyes
Tells me (for) sure you don't know why
You left me alone

You're my Heartbreaker
I'm lost in the shadow of love
Heartbreaker
Alone and ready to fight

We shared the years, we shared each moment
Everyday on the phone late at night
You changed your mind, your heart was blinded
By your thoughts, that wasn't right for us

But the sparkle in your eyes
Makes me hope love will survive
And you'll come back to me

You're my Heartbreaker
I'm lost in the shadow of love
Heartbreaker
Alone and ready to fight

You're my Heartbreaker
I'm lost in the shadow of love
Heartbreaker
Alone and ready to fight

You're my Heartbreaker
I'm lost in the shadow of love
Heartbreaker
Alone and ready to fight

You're my Heartbreaker
I'm lost in the shadow of love
Heartbreaker
[Alone and lost] forever

You're my Heartbreaker
Don't leave me, don't
Heartbreaker
Alone and ready to fight





Don't leave me alone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Axel Rudi Pell's song Heartbreaker describe a relationship that has gone awry but the singer is still holding on to hope that their love will survive. The song begins with the singer recalling a happy memory of meeting his/her partner for the first time at a friend's show and how they talked for hours. But somewhere along the line, the relationship changed and was no longer working for the both of them. The singer seems to think that the fault was on the partner's part and is now lost in the shadow of love, longing for them to come back but ready to fight if needed.


The repetition of the phrase "You're my Heartbreaker" throughout the song implies that the partner has broken the singer's heart and seems to have left without a clear explanation, hence the line "the sparkle in your eyes/Tells me (for) sure you don't know why/You left me alone." The singer is hoping that the "sparkle" in their partner's eyes would be the sign of a rekindled love, but is also ready to fight to keep the relationship or move on.


Overall, the song speaks to the pain of a failed relationship, the longing for love, and the ability to hold on to hope or let go and fight when necessary.
