Heartbreaker
Kinnie Lane Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

En une seconde, sans un regard
Toutes ces nuits sont les mêmes quand tu pars
Je veux plus qu'un simple soir
Qu'un au revoir

I let you kiss my neck
One more time
Can you think of me once

When we looked in the eyes
I wanna be the girl
The want who will keep you safely?

Tu m'amènes, là où rien ne me tient
Car tu vois, j'ai mon cœur dans tes mains

Leave me on the ground
Like a heartbreaker
Heart-heartbreaker, breaker
Like a heartbreaker
Heart-heartbreaker, breaker

Leave me on the ground
Je connais tes erreurs
Tu ne sais que prendre soin de ton cœur
Et je ne comprends plus
Ce que tu cherches dans ces rues
Emmène-moi ailleurs

I let you kiss my neck
One more time
Can you think of me once
When we looked in the eyes
I wanna be the girl
The want who will keep you safely?

Leave me on the ground
Like a heartbreaker
Heart-heartbreaker, breaker
Like a heartbreaker
Heart-heartbreaker, breaker
Leave me on the ground

Tu es le seul qui me rende folle encore
Je t'attendrais ce soir
Tu es le seul qui possède mon cœur encore
Je resterais ce soir

Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kinnie Lane's song "Heartbreaker" express the pain and confusion that comes with being in a relationship with someone who cannot commit fully. The French verse at the beginning sets the tone for the song, as the singer reflects on the monotony of their nights without the one they love. She wants more than a simple fling, she wants a deeper connection that will last. When she allows the person to kiss her neck one more time, she hopes that they will think of her when they gaze into each other's eyes. She wants to be the one who will keep them safe and be with them for the long haul.

Despite her desires, she is left on the ground as a heartbreaker. The person she loves cannot commit to her and instead, leaves her behind. The singer understands that they have their own issues and only take care of their own heart. This leaves her confused about what they are searching for in life. Nevertheless, she remains devoted to them as they are the only person who can drive her insane and possess her heart. The repeated "heartbreaker" at the end of the song reflects how the singer is left with a broken heart, longing for something that never fully materializes.

En une seconde, sans un regard
In just a second, without a glance

Toutes ces nuits sont les mêmes quand tu pars
All these nights are the same when you leave

Je veux plus qu'un simple soir
I want more than just one evening

Qu'un au revoir
More than just a goodbye

I let you kiss my neck
I allowed you to kiss my neck

One more time
But only once more

Can you think of me once
Will you ever think of me

When we looked in the eyes
During our eye contact

I wanna be the girl
I aspire to be the girl

The want who will keep you safely?
That they want to protect and keep you safe

Tu m'amènes, là où rien ne me tient
You take me where nothing holds me
