Heartbreakers

How can I describe to you that I
I have not cried for you
Enough
I will maintain my stance until
Until the fires come to dance with me
I will burn every breath that I take
I will scorch every word that I say
I will brand every mark that you've made
I will sweep up the mess that you've made

How can I describe to you that I
I have not cried for you

How can I describe to you that I
I have not cried for you
Enough

I will maintain my stance until
Until the fires come to dance with me

Overall Meaning

The song "How Can I" is a deep reflection on heartbreak and the aftermath of a broken relationship. The first few lines of the song express the singer's struggle to convey her lack of tears for the person she has lost. She understands that she has not yet fully expressed her emotions, but at the same time, she's confident in her current position.

The following lines illustrate the singer's resilience and the determination to move on. She mentions that she will wait until the rivers come to dance with her, indicating that she's not going to force any changes. She then vows to wash away the flames and the souls they've claimed, which could be a metaphor for the pain they've caused each other. The last lines are quite powerful, as she declares that they should make a name for themselves or be forever known as heartbreakers.

The repetition of the lines, "How can I describe to you that I have not cried for you enough?" highlights the inner conflict that the singer is feeling. She's trying to reconcile the grief she hasn't fully expressed with her resolve to move forward.

Overall, the song is a stunning representation of the stages of grief and the determination to heal and move on.
