Don't break my heart
You know it's breakable
You know it's sweet

What shall I do
When it fi na lly crumbles away

Pick up all the tears

That I see myself throw away

To where I know it will be safe

From all your broke
All your broken hearts

Line by Line Meaning

Don't break my heart
Please don't hurt me emotionally

You know it's breakable
You're aware that my heart is fragile

You know it's sweet
You know that I have good intentions and am kind

What shall I do
I'm unsure of how to handle this situation

When it finally crumbles away
When my heart is completely shattered

Pick up all the tears
Collect all my sadness and pain

That I see myself throw away
That I am actively trying to ignore or suppress

To where I know it will be safe
To a place where I can properly heal and recover

From all your broke
Away from all the damaged people around me

All your broken hearts
Who may not be capable of treating me with love and care
