The track was written and produced by FINNEAS himself. The lyrics revolve around the feeling of disconnect in a relationship. FINNEAS told Lowe: "To me it was just this really really personal illustration, and I think everything in the song happens to be true, I don’t sacrifice a good lyric because it’s not true, but in this case it is."
He has also shared with Du Jour that "The lyrics in the verses are basically verbatim text conversations I had with an ex-girlfriend. I thought it’d be cool to double illustrate that point so I added text and typing sounds to the production."
Break My Heart Again

Can I come around later on this evening?
Or do you need time?
Yes, of course, that's fine
Hey you, good morning
I'm sure you're busy now, why else would you ignore me?
Or do you need space?
You can't help it if your mind has changed
So go ahead and break my heart again
Leave me wonderin' why the hell I ever let you in
Are you the definition of insanity?
Or am I? Oh, it must be nice
To love someone who lets you break them twice
You're so blue, are you still breathin'?
Won't you tell me if you find that deeper meaning?
Do you think I've gone blind?
I know it's not the truth when you say, "I'm fine"
So go ahead and break my heart again
Leave me wonderin' why the hell I ever let you in
Are you the definition of insanity?
Or am I? Oh, it must be nice
To love someone who lets you break them twice
Don't pretend that I'm the instigator
You were the one, but you were born to say, "Goodbye"
Kissed me half a decade later
That same perfume, those same sad eyes
Go ahead and break my heart again
Leave me wonderin' why the hell I ever let you in
Are you the definition of insanity?
Or am I? Or am I?
It must be nice
To love someone who lets you break them twice
