If She Breaks Your Heart
Eternal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Came as total surprise
But I kept the tears from my eyes
And now I've got to shake off this pain
Because there's nothing here to gain
I tried to hold onto our yesterday
And not the reasons things faded away
But, boy, I still carry this flame
And hope it's with a name

[Chorus:]
If she breaks your heart
Who will mould it back?
If she makes you cry
Who will make you laugh?
And if you lose your way
Who will take your hand?
And lead you back to love
And lead you back to love

Guess I gotta get on the mend
This I cannot pretend
In my heart I believe
That we're still meant to be
I thought it'll last 'till the end of time
And there'll be no end to this dream of mine
How can love between our two hearts
Now be oceans apart?

[Chorus x2]

Where, where my love will always remain
For eternity and a day
Let's not fight our destiny
Or what we're meant to be





[Chorus x2]

Line by Line Meaning

Came as total surprise
I was not expecting the end of our relationship


But I kept the tears from my eyes
I tried to be strong and not cry even though it hurt me


And now I've got to shake off this pain
I need to move on from this hurt and let go of the pain


Because there's nothing here to gain
Staying in this relationship will only cause me more pain


I tried to hold onto our yesterday
I wanted to go back to how things used to be between us


And not the reasons things faded away
I didn't want to focus on the negative things that led to the end of our relationship


But, boy, I still carry this flame
I still have feelings for you


And hope it's with a name
I hope that you are the one I end up with


If she breaks your heart
If someone hurts you


Who will mould it back?
Who will help you heal?


If she makes you cry
If someone makes you sad


Who will make you laugh?
Who will make you happy?


And if you lose your way
If you become lost


Who will take your hand?
Who will guide you?


And lead you back to love
And help you find love again


Guess I gotta get on the mend
I need to heal


This I cannot pretend
I can't pretend I'm okay when I'm not


In my heart I believe
I still have faith


That we're still meant to be
That we are meant to be together


I thought it'll last 'till the end of time
I thought our love would last forever


And there'll be no end to this dream of mine
I still have hopes and dreams of us being together


How can love between our two hearts
How did our love fade away?


Now be oceans apart?
Why are we now so far apart?


Where, where my love will always remain
My love for you will always be here


For eternity and a day
Forever


Let's not fight our destiny
Let's not resist what is meant to be


Or what we're meant to be
Or our destiny
