Break Your Heart
Lord of the Lost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You must break your heart

Don't you think I'm sorry, I'm scheming and so cold
I have lost my conscience but I never lose control
If you fall in love, don't give me your heart, but if you do so still

You must break your heart, don't lay it in my hands
Cause I will break your heart, don't you understand, I will be your end

I can deal with pieces, I can deal with parts




But don't you give me everything, don't you go so far
If I touch you fondly, don't give in to me, but if you do so still

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the Lord of the Lost song "Break Your Heart" paint a picture of someone who is aware of their own manipulative tendencies and the potential danger they pose to someone else's heart. The opening lines make it clear that the singer is unapologetic about their behavior and has no qualms about exploiting their partner's emotions. However, they also reveal that the singer is aware of their own flaws, suggesting that they might have a sense of self-awareness despite their destructive tendencies.


The chorus serves as a warning to the listener: if you fall in love with the singer, you must be prepared to break your own heart. This seems to suggest that the singer will inevitably hurt their partner, and it's up to them to protect their own emotional wellbeing. The repetition of "don't you understand" reinforces the cautionary message of the song, suggesting that the singer is convinced that their partner will ultimately come to regret their feelings for them.


Overall, "Break Your Heart" is a dark and brooding track that delves into the complexities of love and power dynamics in relationships. It serves as a reminder that sometimes the people we are drawn to the most can also be the most dangerous.


Line by Line Meaning

Don't you think I'm sorry, I'm scheming and so cold
I am not sorry for my actions; I plan to deceive you and show no compassion


I have lost my conscience but I never lose control
My lack of conscience doesn't affect my ability to manipulate and stay in power


If you fall in love, don't give me your heart, but if you do so still
It's in your best interest not to love me, but if you must, don't give me all of your heart


You must break your heart, don't lay it in my hands
It's better for you to protect yourself by breaking your own heart instead of entrusting it to me


Cause I will break your heart, don't you understand, I will be your end
I will destroy your heart and ultimately cause your downfall, and it's essential for you to comprehend that


I can deal with pieces, I can deal with parts
I'm capable of managing fragmented aspects of your heart and emotions


But don't you give me everything, don't you go so far
However, please don't give me complete control or vulnerability of your heart and self


If I touch you fondly, don't give in to me, but if you do so still
If I show emotional or physical affection, don't let it sway you, but if you do fall for it, understand the consequences

You must break your heart

Don't you think I'm sorry, I'm scheming and so cold
I have lost my conscience but I never lose control
If you fall in love, don't give me your heart, but if you do so still

You must break your heart, don't lay it in my hands
Cause I will break your heart, don't you understand
I will be your end

I can deal with pieces, I can deal with parts
But don't you give me everything, don't you go so far
If I touch you fondly, don't give in to me, but if you do so still

You must break your heart, don't lay it in my hands
Cause I will break your heart, don't you understand

You must break your heart, don't lay it in my hands
Cause I will break your heart, don't you understand
I will be your end

You must break your heart, don't lay it in my hands
Cause I will break your heart, don't you understand

You must break your heart, don't lay it in my hands
Cause I will break your heart, don't you understand

You must break your heart, don't lay it in my hands
Cause I will break your heart, don't you understand
I will be your end

I will be your end
I will be your end
Don't you understand
I will be your end

Absolutely amazing looking back at the beginning of time with Chris and LOTL 2009. I have been staggered by the immense impact LOTL have had on me as a relatively new Lostie.
