Break My Heart
Donna Summer And Seal Lyrics

Don't leave me in all this pain
Asking not to be left alone in emotional pain and distress

Don't leave me out in the rain
Asking not to be left alone in a difficult situation

Come back and bring back my smile
Asking for a return of happiness and joy

Come and take these tears away
Asking for a removal of sadness and tears

I need your arms to hold me now
Expressing a need for emotional comfort and affection

The nights are so unkind
Acknowledging that difficult times can be lonely and cruel

Bring back those nights when I held you beside me
Desiring a return to a time of love and closeness with the other person

Unbreak my heart
Asking for emotional healing and reconciliation

Say you'll love me again
Asking for a reaffirmation of love and commitment

Undo this hurt you caused
Asking for the pain caused by the other person's actions to be undone

When you walked out the door
Referring to the moment when the other person left the relationship

And walked outta my life
Expressing the feeling of being abandoned and left alone

Uncry these tears
Asking for the sadness and tears to be removed

I cried so many nights
Acknowledging the pain and emotional distress caused by the other person's departure

My heart
Referring to the singer's emotional state

Take back that sad word goodbye
Asking to undo and take back the farewell

Bring back the joy to my life
Asking for the happiness and joy to be restored

Come and kiss this pain away
Asking for comfort and reassurance

I can't forget the day you left
Expressing the difficulty of letting go and moving on

Time is so unkind
Acknowledging the passage of time can be cruel and difficult

And life is so cruel without you here beside me
Expressing the difficulty of living without the other person

But we're never gonna survive unless
Stating that a certain action is necessary for survival

We get a little crazy
Stating that a certain level of craziness or unpredictability is required for survival

Cray, cray, cray
Using slang to refer to craziness or insanity

Crazy yellow people walking through my head
Metaphorically referring to confusing, jumbled thoughts

One of them's got a gun to shoot the other one
Metaphorically referring to conflicting or violent thoughts

If all were there when we first took the pill
Referring to a hypothetical situation with different circumstances

Then maybe then maybe then maybe then maybe
Emphasizing the hypothetical and uncertain nature of the situation

Miracles will happen as we speak
Expressing hope for a positive outcome

In a church by the face
Describing a location

He talks about the people going under
Referring to a sermon on people struggling or suffering

Only child know
Suggesting that only those with similar experiences can fully understand

A man decides after seventy years
Describing a decision made by an older individual

That what he goes there for is to unlock the door
Revealing the man's purpose for his actions or beliefs

While those around him criticize and sleep
Showing a contrast between the man's actions and those of others around him

And through a fractal on a breaking wall
Using imagery to describe a moment of insight or realization

I see you my friend and touch your face again
Describing a moment of reunion with a loved one

But we're never gonna survive unless
Repeating the earlier line to emphasize its importance

We get a little crazy
Repeating the earlier line to reinforce its message

Oh darlin',
Expressing affectionate address to a loved one

In a sky full of people only some want to fly
Referring to ambition and desire

Isn't that crazy?
Prompting reflection on the concept of ambition and desire

In a world full of people only some want to fly
Repeating a similar sentiment with a broader scope

In a heaven of people there's only some want to fly
Using religious imagery to describe a similar concept

Ain't that crazy?
Prompting reflection and agreement with the concept

If you think that love isn't found on the radio
Posing a rhetorical question and challenging common beliefs

Then tune right in you made find the love you lost
Rebutting common beliefs and offering hope for finding lost love

And then you see things
Introducing a new idea or perspective

The size
Describing an aspect of the new perspective

Of which you've never known before
Emphasizing the novelty and magnitude of the new perspective

Someone found a letter you wrote me
Describing the discovery of a written message

On the radio
Describing the medium through which the message was broadcast

And they told the world just how you felt
Describing the contents of the message

It must have fallen out of a hole
Hypothesizing a possible explanation for the message's discovery

In your old brown overcoat
Describing the object from which the message may have fallen

They never said your name
Claiming that the message was not explicit in identifying its author

But I knew just who they meant
Revealing the artist's intuitive understanding of the message's author

Isn't that crazy
Using a previous line to reflect on the irony of the situation

Things are not the same, since we broke up last June
Acknowledging the impact of a past event on the present situation

The only thing that I wanna hear
Expressing the artist's desire for a specific message

Is that you love me still
Stating the desired message

And that you think
Adding a desired sentiment

You'll be comin' home real soon
Expressing a desired outcome

Yeah you kinda made me feel proud
Expressing a positive response to a previous event

When I heard him say
Referring to an earlier broadcast or message

You couldn't find the words to say it yourself
Speculating on the message's author's intentions or difficulties

And now in my heart I know
Expressing personal insight or understanding

I can say what I really feel
Expressing newfound freedom of expression

'cause they said it really loud
Asserting the message's significance or impact

Now now
Expressing urgency or emphasis

Stinks
Implies a negative or unpleasant situation or experience
