Heartbreaker
Lyle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got to say it and it's hard for me
You got me crying like I thought I would never be
Love is believing but you let me down
How can I love you when you ain't around
And I

Get to the morning and you never call
Love should be everything or not at all
And it don't matter whatever you do
I made a life out of loving you

Only to find any dream that I follow is dying
I'm crying in the rain
I could be searching my world for a love everlasting
Feeling no pain
when will we meet again

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
is it a lesson that I never knew?
Gotta get out of the spell that I'm under
My love for you

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
when I was being what you want me to be?
Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by
This world may end
not you and I

My love is stronger than the universe
My soul is crying for you
and that cannot be reversed
You made the rules and you could not see
you made a life out of hurting me

Out of my mind
I am held by the power of you love
Tell me when do we try
Or should we say goodbye?

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
when I was being what you want me to be?
Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by

Oh
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
is it a lesson that I never knew?
Suddenly everything I ever wanted
My love for you, ooh





Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
