Heart Meet Break
Liam Payne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lips meet drink
Rock meet bottom
To the bottom, I sink
How come love
Always ends
Over and over again?
Yeah, every time it's
Don't know how much I can take
Only got one heart
I don't know how much it can break
Only got two eyes, how many rivers can I make?
Tell myself it's different
Then I make the same mistakes, yeah, yeah
Put my exes in a line (Line)
They all call me crazy
And by now they're probably right
No matter what I try
There'll always be an empty space
Where I can never make 'em stay
Every time it's
Heart meet break (Break)
Lips meet drink (Drink)
Rock meet bottom
To the bottom, I sink (Sink)
How come love
Always ends
Over and over again?
Yeah, every time it's
Don't know why I twist the knife
Even when I'm kidding
I'm still looking for a lie
Maybe I'm just searching
For something I'll never find
Give it all away, comes back in pieces every time
And the tears are rollin' down my face (Rollin')
I could try to wash the pain away (Away)
There'll always be an empty space
Where I can never make 'em stay
Every time it's
Heart meet break (Break)
Lips meet drink (Yeah)
Rock meet bottom
To the bottom, I sink (Sink)
How come love
Always ends
Over and over again?
Every time it's
Heart meet break (Break)
Lips meet drink (Drink)
Rock meet bottom
To the bottom, I sink (Sink)
How come love
Always ends
Over and over again?
Every time it's
Tears are rolling down my face
Said over and over again
There'll always be an empty space (Yeah)
Where I can never make 'em stay

There will always be a void
Where I can never make 'em stay
Where I can never make my partners stay
Said over and over again
Repeatedly
Tears are rolling down my face
I am crying
