Heartbreaker
Lamar Jay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I admit this pain feels different
And I used to call your phone... relentless
Ashamed of all the pain, afraid of what I
May see... in you
In you (you)
Sweet souls like a hummingbird love
In the simple things I ask from you don't see important
You got me (oh)
Heartbreaker...
Heartbreak yea, yea
Oh,oh a heartbreak
Said you never trust love no more
Wish I would've known from the beginning
That we were setting out a blow out score
Can't save us from losing
In the hard, hard that I tried
It was over before it started
Still got your lipstick on my shirt
From the afterparty the day you got me
Oh, heartbreak
Heartbreaker, oh oh oh oh oh
It can be so right, it can be so cruel
Yea, yea
It can be so cruel
When the one you love doesn't give their all to you
You, you, you
Do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
What am I to do if I don't, if I don't have you
You, you, you
Heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heartbreaker
