You Broke Me First
Conor Maynard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you shoulda told me that you were thinking 'bout someone else
You're drunk at a party or maybe it's just that your car broke down
Your phone's been off for a couple of months, so you're calling me now
I know you, you're like this
When shit don't go your way you needed me to fix it
And like me, I did
Now suddenly you're asking for it back
And could you tell me, where'd you get the nerve?
Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had
But I don't really care how bad it hurts
When you broke me first
You broke me first
Took awhile, was in denial when I first heard
That you moved on quicker than I could've ever, you know that hurt
Swear for a while I would stare at my phone just to see your name
But now that it's there, I don't really know what to say
I know you, you're like this
When shit don't go your way you needed me to fix it
And like me, I did
But I ran out of every reason
Now suddenly you're asking for it back
And could you tell me, where'd you get the nerve?
Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had
But I don't really care how bad it hurts
When you broke me first
You broke me first
You broke me first
You broke me first
In Conor Maynard's song "You Broke Me First," the singer talks about a past lover who left him unexpectedly and then tried to come back into his life. The song's opening lines highlight the lover's tendency to keep things to themselves, an indication that they weren't necessarily upfront about their intentions. The singer then reveals that the lover left him for someone else and that they are now trying to reach out to him after being out of touch for some time.
The chorus reveals the singer's frustration and hurt at the lover who has come back, requesting his attention and affection again. Despite their past relationship, the singer does not care about the lover's pain because of the hurt that they caused him when they left him. The second verse goes on to reveal that the singer was in denial when he first heard that the lover had moved on and that it was painful to see them with someone else. However, now that the person is reaching out, the singer doesn't know what to say or how to feel.
Overall, the song's lyrics capture the emotions of someone who has been hurt by a previous relationship and is now struggling to come to terms with the other person's interest in them again. It's a common theme in many pop songs, but Maynard's unique songwriting and vocals make it stand out.

And like me, I did
And like the good person I am, I did help you
But I ran out of every reason

Now suddenly you're asking for it back

But I don't really care how bad it hurts
However, I don't really care how much it pains you
When you broke me first
Because you were the one who caused me pain first
Took awhile, was in denial when I first heard
It took some time for me to come to terms with the fact that you had moved on
That you moved on quicker than I could've ever, you know that hurt
The fact that you were able to move on so quickly hurt me more than anything
Swear for a while I would stare at my phone just to see your name
I admit that for a while, I would stare at my phone hoping to see your name
But now that it's there, I don't really know what to say
But now that I see your name, I don't know how to react or what to say to you
You broke me first
In summary, you were the one who caused me pain first
You broke me first
You were the one who caused me pain first
You broke me first
You were the one who caused me pain first
You broke me first
You were the one who caused me pain first
