Break Your Heart
Jennette McCurdy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You stood there on that sidewalk
In front of god and everyone
You told me your goodbyes and
I could've sworn I saw you smilin'
While I just came undone
All your friends
Watch the show
You wanted your freedom
And now you don't

Well I'm gonna break
Break
Your heart
On the radio

I didn't wanna have to do this
Waste a perfectly good song
I'd rather be singin'
About a love I can believe in
And not one that's gone wrong
But it's all for you
Yeah it's heartfelt
You broke mine
Payback is hell

Well I'm gonna break
Break
Your heart
On the radio

You're tellin' me
You don't want us to be over
But you better pull your cot
Over on your shoulders

'Cause I'm gonna break
Break
Your heart

Yeah I'm gonna break
Break
Your heart
On the radio
