How Could An Angel Break My Heart
Charice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I heard he sang it from his heart
When I found out thought I would die
Because that lullaby was mine
I heard he sealed it with a kiss
He gently kissed her cherry lips
I found that so hard to believe
Because his kiss belonged to me
How could an angel break my heart
Why didn′t he catch my falling star
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
How could an angel break my heart
I heard here face was white as rain
Soft as a rose that blooms in May
He keeps her picture in a frame
And when he sleeps he calls her name
I wonder if she makes him smile
The way he used to smile at me
I hope she doesn′t make him laugh
Because his laugh belongs to me
How could an angel break my heart
Wh didn't he catch may falling star
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wish our love apart
How could an angel break my heart
Oh my soul is dying, it′s crying
I′m trying to understand
Please help me
How could an angel break my heart
Why didn't he catch my falling star
I wish I didn′t wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
How could an angel break my heart
The lyrics of Charice's song "How Could An Angel Break My Heart" talk about heartbreak and the agony that comes with losing someone so dearly loved. The opening verse sets the scene for the emotions that follow, as the singer shares how she feels like she'll die upon finding out that her former lover is now singing a lullaby that was once theirs to someone else. This sense of betrayal is amplified when she learns that he's also kissing someone else's lips. She can't reconcile the idea of his affections belonging to someone else, as they used to belong to her.
The chorus repeats the central question of how an angel - someone who's supposed to be good - can break someone's heart. And the self-blame game also comes into play as she wonders if maybe her own wishing for their love to end is what caused the angel to break her heart. The second verse picks up the theme of the lover's new girlfriend and how the singer wonders if she's bringing him smiles and laughter, things he once only shared with her. Her heartbreak is all-encompassing, and she feels like her soul is dying and that she needs to understand what went wrong. The song ends with the same unanswered question - how could an angel break her heart?

They sing so good together, that is just full raw emotions on that song. Not a charice fan but this gave me goosebumps.

I love the way they are doing this song together.. I don't care for Charice's hip hop new sound, She has such a gift with her amazing voice.. its sad to see her wanting to follow the crowd and not stand out, as she did before like a true Diva. But she seems happy, and I wish her always the best..But, I'll miss the old Charice...
