Heartless
Milo Greene Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can only manage when we're divided
Could not accept such an awful taste
Feels like you're always misguided
Talking out loud with nothing new to say

And if we say I am trying to get over it (over it)
In the meantime, can we try to move on?
Lately, you're heartless
(Lately) You're so heartless
Lately, you're heartless
(Lately) You're so heartless
Now, you're looking down,
I'm looking down now with nothing to say
Lately, you're heartless
(Lately) You're so heartless
You're heartless
You're heartless

Some strange manner the way you're behaving
Always looked like something I'd lose
Fade in the light that stays so idle
Turning in now, nothing left renewed

And if we say I am trying to get over it (over it)
In the meantime, can we try to move on?

Lately, you're heartless
(Lately) You're so heartless
Lately, you're heartless
(Lately) You're so heartless
Now, you're looking down,
I'm looking down now with nothing to say
Lately, you're heartless
(Lately) You're so heartless




You're heartless
You're heartless

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Milo Greene's Heartless revolves around a relationship that has hit a rough patch, and one partner is giving up hope. The opening lines, "Can only manage when we're divided, Could not accept such an awful taste" convey that the relationship is not going well, and the partners are finding it hard to be together. The next line, "Feels like you're always misguided, Talking out loud with nothing new to say" implies that communication is getting stale, and one partner feels unheard and unloved.


The chorus of the song talks about how one partner has become "heartless" in the relationship, with lines "Lately, you're heartless, (Lately) You're so heartless." The partner shows no remorse towards the separation and seems indifferent to the pain caused. The lines "Now, you're looking down, I'm looking down now with nothing to say" are an admission that the relationship has reached a point of no return, and there is no more love left.


The second verse of the song talks about how the couple tried to work together to mend their relationship, but the effort went in vain. The lines "Fade in the light that stays so idle, Turning in now, nothing left renewed" describe how even the bright moments of the relationship have faded, and there's no hope of reviving it. Thus the song Heartless is a somber portrayal of a relationship that has lost its spark.

Can only manage when we're divided
We can only function when we keep our distance

You consistently lead us in the wrong direction


Talking out loud with nothing new to say
Speaking without contributing anything new to the conversation


And if we say I am trying to get over it (over it) In the meantime, can we try to move on?
Can we try to move on while I am attempting to overcome my obstacles?

Recently, you have been cruel and uncaring towards me. You seem distant and disinterested in our relationship. This has left me feeling heartbroken and unable to communicate with you.


Some strange manner the way you're behaving
Your behavior is inexplicable and confounding


Always looked like something I'd lose
I always knew I would eventually lose you


Fade in the light that stays so idle
The light of our relationship is dimming and unchanging


Turning in now, nothing left renewed
Our relationship is coming to an end with no hope for renewal

Can only manage when we’re divided
Could not accept such an awful taste
Feels like you’re always misguided
Talking out loud with nothing new to say
And if we say I am trying to get over it (over it)
In the meantime, can we try to move on?

Lately, you’re heartless
