He Will Break Your Heart
Darien Brockington Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sit by yourself late every night
Waiting for him to call
Hoping that he will come by
So you don't have to be all alone
Why do you waste your tears
When the man you got ain't worth crying for
Selling yourself so short when you know that you deserve so much more
Everyday you try to put fear aside but you couldn't stop it
Love is easier said than done
Working through your doubts trying to figure out when and how you got here
Just so hard to let go
You tried to tell yourself that you know him so well
But girl I tried to tell you he will break your heart
He will break your heart
Do what you wanna do
If you think it's good for you
Inside I always knew that he would break yout heart
Sit with your girlfriends every night
Lying about your pain
Saying that you're so happy when deep inside you know things have changed
Why can't you face yourself and express the things you really wanna say
Too proud to tell the truth and too scared to move on and walk away
Everyday you try to put fear aside but you couldn't stop it
Love is easier said than done
Working through your doubts trying figure out when and how you got here
Just so hard to let go
You tried to tell yourself that you know him so well
But girl I tried to tell you he would break your heart
He will break your heart
Do what you wanna do
If you think it's good for you
Inside I always knew that he would break your heart
You tried to tell yourself that you know him so well
But girl I tried to tell you he would break your heart
Do what you wanna do
If you think it's good for you
Inside I always knew that he would break your heart
Maybe in another life you'll have a chance to find
Someone to give you all the love you desire
Someone for all your woes
Your highest highs and lowest lows
Someone to be the man in your life
Like me
Like me
Like me
You tried to tell yourself that you know him so well
But girl I tried to tell you he would break your heart
Do what you wanna do
If you think it's good for you




Inside I always knew that he would break your heart
He would break your heart
