Heartless
DJ Fletch And Kanye Lyrics

In the night, I hear 'em talk
I hear people talking about him behind his back at night

The coldest story ever told
It's the saddest and most miserable story ever

Somewhere far along this road
At some point in his life

He lost his soul to a woman so heartless (heartless)
He became soulless after being hurt by a cruel and heartless woman

How could you be so heartless? (Heartless)
He's questioning the woman's lack of mercy and empathy

Oh, how could you be so heartless?
He's still questioning the woman's behavior and how she could treat him so poorly

How could you be so cold as the winter wind when it breeze, yo?
He's expressing how terrible the woman is treating him by comparing her to the cold and harsh winter wind

Just remember that you talkin' to me though
He's reminding the woman to be respectful because he deserves it

You know need to watch the way you talkin' to me, yo
He's telling the woman to be mindful of how she communicates with him

I mean after all the things that we've been through
He's pointing out all of the experiences and memories they've shared

I mean after all the things we got into
He's referring to all the troubles and difficulties they've encountered together

Ayo, I know of some things that you ain't told me
He suspects that the woman is hiding things from him

Ayo, I did some things but that's the old me
He acknowledges that he's changed and grown from past mistakes

And now you wanna get me back and you gon' show me
He feels as if the woman is trying to seek revenge and prove something to him

So you walk around like you don't know me
He feels neglected and unwanted, like the woman has forgotten who he is

You got a new friend, well I got homies
He has people he can rely on and trust, even if the woman has moved on

But in the end it's still so lonely
Despite having friends, he still feels alone

How could you be so heartless? (Heartless)
He's still questioning the woman's cruel behavior

Oh, how could you be so heartless?
He's repeating his disbelief and hurt caused by the woman

How could you be so Dr.Evil?
He's comparing the woman to an evil character from a movie

You bringin' out a side of me that I don't know
The woman is causing him to act and feel in ways he never has before

I decided we weren't gon' speak so
He made a conscious decision to not communicate with her anymore

Why we up three A.M. On the phone?
He's questioning why she's calling him so late at night

Why do she be so mad at me for?
He's confused and doesn't understand why she's upset with him

Homie, I don't know, she's hot and cold
He's not sure what's going on with her because her behavior is inconsistent

I won't stop, I won't mess my groove up
He's determined to keep his momentum going and not let her interfere

'Cause I already know how this thing go
He's experienced this situation before and knows how it will end

You run and tell your friends that you're leaving me (hey)
He knows the woman will talk to her friends about leaving him

They say that they don't see what you see in me (hey)
He predicts that her friends won't understand why she was ever with him

You wait a couple months then you gon' see (hey)
He's confident that in time she'll regret her decision

You'll never find nobody better than me
He believes that she won't ever find someone like him again

Talk and talk and talk and talk
He's tired of the constant chatter and arguing

Baby, let's just knock it off
He's asking her to stop the negative behavior and move on

They don't know what we been through
No one can fully understand their history and relationship

They don't know 'bout me and you
Their bond is unique and personal

So I got something new to see
He's ready to move on and try new things

And you just gon' keep hatin' me
He knows the woman will continue to hold resentment against him

And we just gon' be enemies
He predicts that they'll no longer be able to coexist peacefully

I know you can't believe
He understands that she's struggling with their breakup

I could just leave it wrong
He knows he could handle the situation poorly, but chooses not to

And you can't make it right
He believes that even if she tried to fix things, it's too late

I'm gon' take off tonight
He's making a decision to leave and not look back

Into the night
He's leaving everything behind and starting anew
