Heartbreaker
Nejra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I try to shake you of my mind
But you're to stubborn to leave
i try to put it all behind
But it just gives me grief

I've got butterflies stuck in my stomach
I chase them off but they attack
I've got some sanity left but it leaves me
Because you keep coming back
And you're a heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heartbreaker
And you making me want you
A heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heartbreaker
And you making me want you

I try to run but I can't hide
Your face is carved inside
And all the places where you are
Are places where I've cried

I've got butterflies stuck in my stomach
I chase them off but they attack
I've got some sanity left but it leaves me
Because you keep coming back
And you're a heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heartbreaker
And you making me want you
A heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heartbreaker
And you making me want you

You making me want you

Get away from me now
Take your sweet face back

Get away from me now
Take your sweet face back

I've got butterflies stuck in my stomach
I chase them off but they attack
I've got some sanity left but it leaves me
Because you keep coming back
And you're a heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heartbreaker
And you making me want you
A heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heartbreaker
And you making me want you

A heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heartbreaker
And you making me want you

You making me miss you





You making me love you

But it only causes me sorrow

Your image is engraved in my mind


And all the places where you are
Every place you inhabit


Are places where I've cried
Are locations where I have shed tears


Get away from me now
Move away from me immediately


Take your sweet face back
Bring that charming visage of yours elsewhere


You making me miss you
You are causing me to long for you


You making me love you
You are causing me to develop romantic feelings for you
