Nothing Breaks Like a Heart
KITCHEN - Mark Ronson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
And nothing breaks like a heart
I heard you on the phone last night
We live and die by pretty lies
You know it, oh, we both know it
This burning house, there's nothing left
It's smoking, we both know it
We got all night to fall in love
But just like that we fall apart
We're broken, we're broken
Mmm, well, nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now
Well, there's broken silence
By thunder crashing in the dark (crash in the dark)
And this broken record
Spin endless circles in the bar (spin 'round in the bar)
This world can hurt you
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
Mmm, and nothing breaks like a heart
We'll leave each other cold as ice
And high and dry, the desert wind
Is blowin', is blowin'
Remember what you said to me?
We were drunk in love in Tennessee
And I hold it, we both know it
Mmm, that nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now
Nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now
Well, there's broken silence
By thunder crashing in the dark (crash in the dark)
And this broken record
Spin endless circles in the bar (spin 'round in the bar)
This world can hurt you
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
Mmm, and nothing breaks like a heart
Nothing breaks like a heart
Mmm, and nothing breaks like a heart
Nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now
Nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now
Well, there's broken silence
By thunder crashing in the dark (crash in the dark)
And this broken record
Spin endless circles in the bar (spin 'round in the bar)
This world can hurt you
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
Mmm, but nothing breaks like a heart
But nothing breaks like a heart
Mmm, but nothing breaks like a heart
In "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" by Mark Ronson, the world is portrayed as a place that can hurt you and leave scars. However, despite the turmoil and chaos, nothing breaks like a heart. The song tells a story of pain, love, and hopelessness as the singer acknowledges their brokenness, but also hints at the possibility of healing. The singer talks about pretty lies, broken silence, and smoking houses, all as a metaphor for the brokenness and inescapability of the world we live in.
The song then switches to a story of doomed lovers who will leave each other cold as ice, feeling betrayed and lost. The reference to Tennessee sets the scene for the nostalgia of lost love and the realization that nothing can save them now. The metaphor of the broken record spinning endless circles in the bar refers to how we often repeat the same mistakes, leading us to a cycle of heartbreak and pain.
"Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" explores the dichotomy between love and darkness, triumphs and failures, and hope and despair. The song acknowledges that life can be tough, but there is still a glimmer of hope in everything. In essence, the message is that even when things fall apart, heartbreak is a constant in a world that can hurt you deeply and leave scars, nothing breaks like a heart.

Passed time
Smashed thoughts
Want to shine
İn the shadow of the pain
Colors faded
Feelings died
Saved from
Dimmed rooms
Loving you
İn the middle of a night
Bloomed again
Feel the rain
Before long
Turned black
Again
İmbed rose
İn my heart
Pumped you
To my inside.
