Break Your Heart
Ben & Ellen Harper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause it's all I get to do
I got so much to lose
You do too, you do too
We can walk side by side
You can run, you can't hide
The look in your eyes
If I was hoping I'd wish upon a star
If you let me I'd just love to break your heart,
Break your heart
Love conquers all, it's a matter of time
Call me a dreamer. I don't mind
Love conquers all it can happen any day
Call me a schemer I don't care
I've got patience I can wait
Call me fickle, call it fate
We can see where this could go
But you and I, we both know
If I was hoping I'd wish upon a star
If I was looking I'd know right where to start
If you let me I'd just love to break your heart,
Break your heart
The song "Break Your Heart" by Ben & Ellen Harper is a beautiful song about a person who is deeply in love with someone who also has a lot to lose if they fall in love. The chorus of the song "If you let me I'd just love to break your heart, Break your heart" appears to be a bit ironic as, in reality, the person singing the song does not want to hurt the other person; however, they simply will if the other person's heart breaks due to what the singer says or does. The song also talks about how love conquers all and how it can happen any day, but it's just a matter of time.
In the first verse, the song describes the two people walking side by side, with the singer acknowledging that they have nothing else to do but to look at the other person. The singer then acknowledges the fear of loss that they both share, which indicates that the two people might have a history of past loss.
In the second verse, the song once again talks about how love conquers all and how the singer is willing to wait for the other person. However, the singer is also aware of the fact that things might not go as planned, which is why they acknowledge that both of them know where this could go.
Overall, "Break Your Heart" is a beautiful song that highlights the complexities and challenges of love. The song is a beautiful reminder that falling in love can be scary and vulnerable, but if two people are willing to work through the challenges, they can fall in love and conquer all.
