Heartbreak
Ellis Bextor Sophie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've tried to hold myself together
Tried to forget you've gone away
The tears I've cried
They won't subside
Unless the music starts to play

Heartbreak, make me a dancer, dancer
DJ, give me the answer, answer
Love, stop getting me down, down, down
I couldn't do it alone

I need to feel I'm getting stronger
Long as I'm moving it feels true
And with each step
I will forget
Forget all of those memories of you

Keep it coming on and on and on

Heartbreak, make me a dancer, dancer
DJ, give me the answer, answer
Love, stop getting me down, down, down
I couldn't do it alone
Heartbreak, make me a dancer, dancer
Keep my heart beating faster, faster
Love, stop bringing me down, down, down
I couldn't do it alone

Do it alone, I couldn't do it alone

Heartbreak, make me a dancer, dancer
DJ, give me the answer, answer
Love, stop getting me down, down, down
Heartbreak, make me a dancer, dancer
DJ, give me the answer, answer
Love, stop getting me down, down, down
