You Destroyed My Heart
King Princess Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heard you saw my tricks
And no, my biggest superstar from the barricade
Felt you move your hips
But you should probably learn your place
'Cause this isn't it, baby

Destroyed my heart
Now I want somebody good
'Cause you lost the part
Now I want somebody good

Get you back (that was cute)
And we could probably reunite
But I'm a better fag
And you're an amateur (she seems so nice)
And it's cute you want to be my friend, it will never work baby

You destroyed my heart
Now I want somebody good
'Cause you lost the part
Now I want somebody, want somebody good

What you saw
What you cause
And you seem so sad, like it's all my fault
But it's not
'Cause you're gone
It's the best I have
But I'm moving on
Like a pro, it's my job (she seems so nice)
You can break my trust
I just build my funds
And it's time, give me up
And you seem so sad
But it's not my fault

'Cause you, you broke my heart
Now I want somebody good
'Cause you lost the part
Now I want somebody good
Destroyed my heart
Now I want somebody good (she seems so nice)
'Cause you lost the part
Now I want somebody good (she seems so nice)
Destroyed my heart
Now I want somebody good (she seems so nice)
'Cause you lost the part
Now I want somebody good (she seems so nice)

(She seems so nice)





(She seems so nice)

Overall Meaning

In King Princess's song "You Destroyed My Heart", the lyrics tell the story of a breakup and the aftermath of the relationship. The first verse references the singer's ex-partner seeing through her tricks and becoming a superstar in her own right. The second verse touches on the idea of getting back together, but ultimately realizing that the singer deserves someone better.


Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of moving on and finding someone new. The chorus reflects the pain of heartbreak but ends with a desire for a better partner. The bridge addresses the blame game that often follows a split, with the singer asserting that it's not her fault that the relationship ended.


Aside from its relatable theme of longing for a healthy, fulfilling relationship, "You Destroyed My Heart" is also notable for its catchy melody and King Princess's powerful vocals. The song has gained attention for its creative use of instruments, including a subtle piano line and a distorted bass that add depth to the otherwise minimal instrumentation.


Line by Line Meaning

Heard you saw my tricks
I know you've seen through my facade


And no, my biggest superstar from the barricade
I won't let you admire me from afar anymore


Felt you move your hips
I felt your embrace, but it doesn't mean anything


But you should probably learn your place
Don't get too close to me


'Cause this isn't it, baby
This isn't what I want


Destroyed my heart
You shattered my heart into a million pieces


Now I want somebody good
I deserve someone better


'Cause you lost the part
You failed to meet my expectations


Get you back (that was cute)
It was sweet of you to try to win me back


And we could probably reunite
There's a chance we could reconcile


But I'm a better fag
I'm too good for you


And you're an amateur (she seems so nice)
You don't know what you're doing, and you seem too innocent


And it's cute you want to be my friend, it will never work baby
It's naive of you to think we can just be friends, it won't happen


What you saw
You saw me for who I really am


What you cause
You made me realize I deserve better than you


And you seem so sad, like it's all my fault
You're blaming me for the way you feel


But it's not
It's not my fault


'Cause you're gone
You left me


It's the best I have
It's the best outcome for me


But I'm moving on
I'm ready to move forward


Like a pro, it's my job (she seems so nice)
I'm handling this in a professional manner, even though it hurts, and you still seem innocent


You can break my trust
You broke my trust, but it won't stop me from finding someone better


I just build my funds
I focus on my career and financial goals


And it's time, give me up
It's time for us to go our separate ways


And you seem so sad
You're still sad about the breakup


But it's not my fault
It's not my responsibility to fix your emotions


'Cause you, you broke my heart
You were the one who caused my heartbreak


(She seems so nice)
Even though you hurt me, I still think you're a good person

Heard you saw my tricks
I know I gave you superstar
And from the barricade
I've heard youโ€…moveโ€…your hips
But youโ€…should probably learn your place
'Cause thisโ€…isn't it, baby


You destroyed my heart
Now I want somebody good
'Cause you lost the part
Now I want somebody good


I could get you back (That's cute)
And we could probably reenact
But I'm a better fag, and you're an amateur
(She seems so lost)
And it's cute you wanna be my friend
It would never work, baby


You destroyed my heart
Now I want somebody good
'Cause you lost the part
Now I want somebody, want somebody good


What you saw, what you caused
And you seem so sad like it's all my fault
But it's not 'cause you're gone
It's the best I had, but I'm moving on
Like a pro (She seems so lost), it's my job
You can break my trust, I just build my funds
And it's time, give me up
And you seem so sad, but it's not my fault


'Cause you, you broke my heart
Now I want somebody good
'Cause you lost the part
Now I want somebody good
Destroyed my heart
Now I want somebody good (She seems so nice)
'Cause you lost the part
Now I want somebody good (She seems so nice)
Destroyed my heart
Now I want somebody good (She seems so nice)
'Cause you lost the part
Now I want somebody good


She seems so lost
She seems so lost
She seems so lost

I downloaded the rest of the album at midnight and Iโ€™m in AWE!! Just pissed that youโ€™re gonna be at Boston HOB this month and I didnโ€™t get tickets!!!! As a queer girl who just came out you have been a savior with your music. Thank you. This track hits so hard and sounds like NOTHING else out there at the moment. Keep killing it.
