Heartless
Geko Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I guess you're allowed to call me heartless, I didn't mean to hurt you regardless, I don't understand where it came from, now I got you listening to sad songs.
I guess you're allowed to call me heartless, I didn't mean to hurt you regardless, pretending to love you I was mad wrong, broke your heart now I'm on a mad one.

Yo, the best thing to do so the road is mad long,
Coz you're raw outside you got me thinking I'm the bad one,
Never really liked you anyway I put an act on,
Tried not to hurt you now you're listening to sad songs,
Now you're at home the love for me has got you thinking,
Trying to get geko out your mind by the drinking,
Thought I'd never leave you coz you're nice little slim ting,
I'm just sat there feeling free with no stress or winging,
Sleepless nights coz you say your heart is broken,
That's why you don't let anybody in you left it open,
Now I'm kinda scared to love coz karma is a bitch,
And I broke your heart so now my heart is gonna get hit,
Why did you have to fall for me that fast,
I'm a prick for pretending now I'm having flashbacks,
Thinking what I did was wrong I hope you feel it when you hear this song.

I guess you're allowed to call me heartless, I didn't mean to hurt you regardless, I don't understand where it came from, now I got you listening to sad songs.
I guess you're allowed to call me heartless, I didn't mean to hurt you regardless, pretending to love you I was mad wrong, broke your heart now I'm on a mad one.

Yo Geks yea I know you didn't like me,
I can tell by the way you avoided to be beside me,
Now I'm sat here writing text but I don't send them,
Coz even though I want you back I feel my love is ending,
I remember when we had our own times,
I used to look in to your eyes thinking you're all mine,
I used to be alone dreaming of our own child,
Biting on my finger coz the dreaming had me so high,
We used to chat about the future together,
Now you're telling me to go find another breader,
All I did was show you love like I never,
But now the tears have got my pillow getting wetter,
I hope you fall hard for the next girl so she can break your heart to that next world,
In fact I hope you have a good life,
But it hurts to say I could've been a good wife.





I guess you're allowed to call me heartless, I didn't mean to hurt you regardless, I don't understand where it came from, now I got you listening to sad songs.
I guess you're allowed to call me heartless, I didn't mean to hurt you regardless, pretending to love you I was mad wrong, broke your heart now I'm on a mad one.
