A Belle to Remember
Hayley Kiyoko Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Go ahead and break my..)
(Belle de se rappeler)

Get out
You're so old
You're out
I'm cold
You've got me on tight
I'm in a beehive
I'm buzzing, stinging
Wanting my sweet
Dig in and you flee
Your moves are off-beat
I'm trying to get by
I'm in a beehive
I'm wanting feelings
You once had for me

So go ahead, break my heart
You'll keep hearing me from afar

'Cause I'm a belle to remember
Do you remember?
A belle to remember
You'll want to love me

Belle to remember
Do you remember?
A belle to remember
You'll want to love me
(Belle de se rappeler)
(Belle de se rappeler)

Rebound you might have
The girls won't match
You try to get by
I can't leave your mind
I'm swimming
You're wanting, honey
Too bad, it's your loss
You left me undone
You said your goodbye
I've left my beehive
I'm searching, living
Wanting some peace

'Cause I'm a belle to remember
Do you remember?
A belle to remember
You'll want to love me
Belle to remember
Do you remember?
A belle to remember
You'll want to love me

Belle to remember
Do you remember?
A belle to remember
You'll want to love me
Belle to remember
Do you remember?
A belle to remember
You'll want to love me

(Go ahead and break my heart)
(Go ahead and break my heart)

'Cause I'm a belle to remember
Do you remember?
A belle to remember
You'll want to love me
Belle to remember
(Go ahead, break my heart)
(You'll keep hearing me from afar)
I'm a belle to remember
Do you remember?
A belle to remember
You'll want to love me

Go ahead and break my heart




Go ahead and break my heart
(Belle de se rappeler)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hayley Kiyoko's song "A Belle to Remember" tell a story of a woman who is in a relationship with an older man who has lost interest in her. She feels trapped and used, buzzing like a bee, but still holding onto the hope that he will come to love her again. She knows that she is unforgettable, and that he will one day want her back. The repeated refrain of "belle de se rappeler" (a belle to remember) highlights her self-awareness and confidence in her own worth, despite her painful situation.


The theme of the song can be understood as a warning against staying in toxic relationships and settling for less than one's worth. The woman in the song may be longing for love and validation, but she is ultimately strong and independent, believing in her own value and refusing to let this man break her completely. Ultimately, the song is a call to self-love and self-respect, reminding listeners that they too are belles (or beaux) to remember.


Line by Line Meaning

Get out
Leave me alone


You're so old
Our love is stale


You're out
You're no longer in my life


I'm cold
I no longer have any feelings for you


You've got me on tight
You won't let me go


I'm in a beehive
I'm feeling trapped with you


I'm buzzing, stinging
I'm in pain and I'm upset


Wanting my sweet
I need affection


Dig in and you flee
You're afraid of commitment


Your moves are off-beat
You're not doing things right


I'm trying to get by
I'm trying to move on from you


I'm wanting feelings
I'm looking for someone who can make me feel loved


You once had for me
You used to make me feel special


So go ahead, break my heart
You're not worth my time and efforts


You'll keep hearing me from afar
I don't need you to be happy


'Cause I'm a belle to remember
I'm unforgettable and charming


Do you remember?
You won't forget about me


A belle to remember
I'm a beauty that you'll never forget


You'll want to love me
You'll regret leaving me


Rebound you might have
You may find someone else


The girls won't match
You won't find someone like me


I can't leave your mind
You're still thinking about me


I'm swimming
I'm doing well and feeling free


You're wanting, honey
You need me back


Too bad, it's your loss
You messed up by leaving me


You left me undone
You hurt me


You said your goodbye
You chose to leave me


I've left my beehive
I'm free from your trap


I'm searching, living
I'm moving on with my life


Wanting some peace
I want to be happy without you


Belle de se rappeler
Unforgettable beauty

@kristyns1640

the best part of hayleyโ€™s old songs is they donโ€™t even have any pronouns so u can still see them as gay

@cutebunny7813

This is about her sister and her sister's ex, I think.

@alt.account9919

RIGHT

@kevintilsner8295

I find it fun, odd, & amusing that I'm in my mid-40's and relate to so much of her music.

@delaneyr2826
