Don't Let It Break Your Heart
Coldplay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And if I lost the map if I lost it all
Or fell into the trap then she'd call

When you're tired of racing and you
Found you never left the start
Come on, baby, don’t let it break your heart

Though heavily we bled still, on we crawl
Trying to catch a cannonball
And a slow burning tide
Through my veins is flowing
From my shipwreck, I heard her call
And she sang

When you're tired of aiming your arrows
Still, you never hit the mark, oh oh
And even in your rains and shadows
Still, we're never gonna part, oh oh
Come on, baby, don’t let it break your heart

Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Don’t let it break your heart
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Don’t let it break your heart


Don't let it break your heart

Overall Meaning

The song "Don't Let It Break Your Heart" by Coldplay is a powerful ode to resilience and perseverance. The opening lines of the song suggest a sense of being lost and uncertain. The singer admits that he may have lost his way or fallen into a trap, but his significant other is there to support him, no matter what. The lyrics are a comforting reminder to never give up hope and to continue pushing forward, even when things seem difficult or confusing.


Throughout the song, the allusions to exhaustion and struggle create a sense of raw vulnerability. The lines "When you're tired of racing / And you find you never left the start" showcase this perfectly, suggesting a weariness that comes from feeling stuck or stagnant. Despite this, there is a sense of hopefulness and determination that is present throughout the entire song. The chorus, which repeats the titular phrase "Don't Let It Break Your Heart" multiple times, emphasizes this message of resilience and encourages the listener to keep going, even in the face of adversity.


The song's overall theme of perseverance and resilience is one that has resonated with many of Coldplay's fans. Its soaring melodies and anthemic choruses make it an inspiring and uplifting listen, perfect for anyone who needs a little extra motivation to keep going.


Line by Line Meaning

And if I lost the map
Even if I'm lost and without direction


If I lost it all
If I lose everything I have


Or fell into the trap
Or if I fall into a difficult situation


Then she'd call
She would support me and be there for me


'When you're tired of racing
When you're exhausted from trying so hard


And you find you never left the start
And you discover you haven't made any progress


Come on baby
Come on, my dear


Don't let it break your heart'
Don't let it destroy your spirit or hope


Though heavily we bled
Even though we suffered greatly


Still on we crawl
We keep going, even if it's slow and difficult


Try to catch a cannonball
Even attempting impossible things


And a slowly burning tide, oh
Even if the challenges seem endless


Through my veins is flowing
I'm filled with emotions


From my shipwreck I heard her call
Despite being in a difficult place, I still have support


She said 'When you're tired of aiming your arrows
She acknowledged my efforts even if I missed the target


Still you never hit the mark, oh
I still haven't achieved my goals


Even in your rains and shadows
Even during the toughest of times


Still we're never going to part
Still, we will not separate or give up on each other


Come on baby
Come on, my dear


Don't let it break your heart, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't let the hardships crush your spirit, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


Don't let it break your heart, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't let the tough times discourage you, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


Don't let it break your heart
Don't let anything destroy your hope and determination
