Motörhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got to say it and it? S hard for me
You got me cryin? Like I thought I would never be
Love is believin?, 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 everythin? Or not at all
I made a life out of lovin? You
Only to find any dream that I follow is dying
I? M crying in the rain
I could be searchin? My world for a love everlasting
I? M feeling no pain, when will we meet again?
Chorus,
And, why do you have to be a heartbreaker?
Is it a lesson that I never knew
Got to get out of the spell that I? M under
My love for you
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker?
When I was bein? What you want me to be
Suddenly everythin? I ever wanted has passed me by
This world may end, not you and I?
Verse Two,
My love is stronger than the universe
My soul is cryin? For you
And it can not be reversed
You made the rules but you could not see
You made a life out of hurtin? Me
Out of my mind,
I am held by the power of you love
Tell me when do we try?
Why should we say goodbye? (Why should we say goodbye?)
Part Chorus,
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker?
Is it a lesson that I never knew
Got to get out of the spell that I? M under
My love for you?
Break.
Chorus to fade,
Whoa-ah, why do you have to be a heartbreaker?
Is it a lesson that I never knew
Got to get out of the spell that I? M under
My love for you, my love, my love,
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker?
When I was bein? What you want me to be
Suddenly everythin? I ever wanted has passed me by
My love, my love passed me by
The song Heartbreaker by Motörhead is a melancholic ballad about a failed relationship. The song opens with the singer expressing his pain for being let down by his lover whom he loved deeply but did not reciprocate the feeling. He expected more from his lover and was disappointed when she did not meet his expectations. The singer feels abandoned and betrayed as his lover never calls him back, and he is left crying in the rain because of her. The chorus is a series of questions he asks his lover, pondering why she had to be a heartbreaker and why she impressed him to love her. He is trying to distance himself by getting out of the spell he is under.
In the second verse, the singer states that his love for his lover is stronger than the universe, and his soul is crying out for her. He is deeply in love with her, and the pain she has caused him cannot be healed. The singer is held by the power of her love, and he wonders when they will try again or whether they will say goodbye. The song ends with the chorus as the singer repeats the questions raised in the chorus.

Careful where you stand now boy
Everything has changed
Got to search and destroy
Everything has changed
Got to move stop the dreams
All protection gone
Listen how the people scream
On and on and on
Time to get away from here
You won't see me shed a tear
No time to say goodbye
Danger in the dead of night
Takes away the strength to fight
All we know is black despair
Heartbreaker
You remember what you said
In the first attack
Stand your ground fight your best
Drop 'em in their tracks
Now the story changed again
Sing a different song
Listen how the shots ring out
On and on and on
Time to get away my dear
There's no future for us here
Say a prayer and fly
Horror from the break of day
Make a strong man turn away
All we know is black despair
Heartbreaker
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
All…
