Chrishan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Swear I never had it easy (had it easy)
Didn't want to learn anything (anything)
Didn't wanna listen to the teacher (teacher)
He said that I was such a lover (lover)
Cause I wanted to be the fighter (fighter)
So that I could fight for her (her)
Damn guess I was wrong from the start
Girl you (you), you (you)
Showed me what it was
And you (you), you (you)
Helped me through the dust
Now my mind's clear
I feel better
And to you girl I owe
Girl I put this on my soul
I would never break your heart
I would never wanna love again
Girl I would never break your heart
I would never break your heart
I would never break your heart
Can't you see I'm in it for the win
Girl I would never break your heart
I would never break your heart
Girl I would never break your heart
Always have a million questions (questions)
Thought I had a million answers (answers)
Didn't stop to check my source (my source)
Cause it really didn't matter (to me)
I was young, I was dumb
But understand where I'm from
I'm such a better man than I was
So don't worry about my past
I'm gone and never looking back (looking back)
Girl you (you), you (you)
Showed me what it was
And you (you), you (you)
Helped me through the dust
Now my mind's clear
I feel better
And to you girl I owe
Girl I put this on my soul
I would never break your heart
I would never wanna love again
Girl I would never break your heart
I would never break your heart
(Promise not to break it)
I would never break your heart
Can't you see I'm in it for the win
Girl I would never break your heart
I would never break your heart
Count on me
To be there in times of darkness
Girl don't be scared (don't be scared, I'm right here)
All you need is to trust me baby
I'm yours
Baby I would never break your heart
I would never wanna love again
Girl I would never break your heart
I would never break your heart
I would never break your heart
(I would never break your heart)
Can't you see I'm in it for the win
(Can't you see I'm in it for the win)
I would never break your heart
I would never break your heart
In Chrishan's song "Break Ur Heart", the lyrics tell of a journey of growth and understanding. The first verse implies that the singer's past was full of rebellion and disregard for authority and education. He didn't want to learn anything and played the role of a lover instead of a fighter. But then, he meets someone who shows him what it means to truly care for someone, and how to fight for them as well. This person helped him see how to grow and dust off his old ways of thinking, and now he is a better version of himself. The song's chorus repeats the promise never to break his love's heart again and to be there for her no matter what.
Overall, the lyrics of "Break Ur Heart" relay the message that people can change and grow from their past. It's a tribute to the power of love and how it can shape someone for the better. The second verse talks about how the singer had a million questions but no real source to seek answers from, indicating a lack of direction. However, he acknowledges his past and promises to be there for his love in times of darkness in the future.
