Hard Heart To Break
Mark Free Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Don't come too close," you tell me,
I don't wanna risk the fall,"
But words don't matter when I hold you.
I've been just as lost and lonely,
Busy building walls,
Looking for someone to sell my soul to.
Love's such a dangerous game,
It's a naked flame in a raging wind.
I'll brave the hurricane
I'm not afraid to try again.

I've got a hard heart to break,
I'll weather the storm,
Do whatever it takes.
If love is a hell, then Heaven can wait.
I've got a hard heart to break.

Even when you turn away,
Across a desert of desire.
Freedom's only loneliness
Called by a different name.
We pray for rain, standing in the fire.
Love's like a river that runs
Warm in the sun or cold as ice.
Baby, let it begin
Cause you'll never swim
The same waters twice.

I've got a hard heart to break,
I'll weather the storm,
Do whatever it takes.
If love is a hell, then Heaven can wait.
I've got a hard heart to break.
Changing partners like time changes seasons,
The blind always leading the blind.
But love never asks us for reasons
When your heart beats,
Your heart beats with mine.

I've got a hard heart to break,
I'll weather the storm,
Do whatever it takes.
If love is a hell, then Heaven can wait.




I've got a hard heart,
A hard heart to break.

Overall Meaning

The verse above talks about a person who is hesitant to open up their heart to love, expressing that they do not want to risk the fall. But despite this, the singer asserts that when they are holding that person, words are no longer important. They imply that they have also been lost and lonely like the person they are addressing, and has built walls to protect themselves from the pain of love. The chorus responds to this by saying that the singer is willing to weather whatever storm they come across, if it means that they get to experience love. They assert that they have a hard heart to break, meaning they are difficult to hurt or break, making them feel like they can do whatever it takes to make love work, even if it means braving the hurricane.


The bridge reinforces the idea that love is a risky game, and people often change partners and are unsure of what they want. However, the singer believes that love is unpredictable and doesn't require a reason. When two people's hearts beat together, they don't need to explain why they feel the way they do. Overall, the song tackles the issue of vulnerability in love and how tough it can be to open up to someone and put yourself at risk of being hurt. Despite this, the singer is willing to take that risk.

Marcie Free or Mark Free is one of the greatest rock singers ever. He should get more recognition!

I honestly feel like a special/blessed individual to 1. know who mark free is and 2. to understand and love his music. I pity people who can't appreciate this.
