Heartbreak Down
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like to think I maybe broke a few hearts
But since I met you I'm a victim of disaster
I like to think I got it down to an art
So here's where the problem starts
You're shitting on my heart
Oh I can't take it again and again and again
All I wanted from you
Was a night maybe two
You beat me at my own game
No, it's not okay
I'm the one that's missing out
All I needed to do
Was get just a taste of you
And now I'm sick all in my head
You poisoned me instead
Trust me, trust me, I think I got heartbreak down
I like to wake and go to bed around whenever
I like to maybe come and go when I choose
But now I'm waiting for a text, call, whatever
What's gotten into me, besides you (Oops!)
You're like a rush, you're like a drug, it's just the sight of you
I like to think that I could kick you but it's what you do
When you wink at me
What's the lord think of me
For being so fucking weak, I find it hard for me to breathe
So here's where my story ends
I got to make amends
I let me down
Again and again and again and again
All I wanted from you
Was a night maybe two
You beat me at my own game
No, it's not okay
I'm the one that's missing out
All I needed to do
Was get just a taste of you
And now I'm sick all in my head
You poisened me instead
Trust me, trust me, I think I got heartbreak down
Here's what we have to do
Stay together, keep it true
Can't be strong too late for cool
I won't live without you
(You are not rid of me!)
All I wanted from you
Was a night maybe two
You beat me at my own game
No, it's not okay
I'm the one that's missing out
All I needed to do
Was get just a taste of you
And now I'm sick all in my head
You poisoned me instead
Trust me, trust me, I think I got heartbreak down
The lyrics to P!nk's song Heartbreak Down describe the singer's vulnerability to falling in love and getting hurt. She starts by boasting about her kissing skills and the number of hearts she's broken in the past. However, since she met this new person, she's become a "victim of disaster," proving that she's not as immune to heartbreak as she thought. She admits that she thought she could handle this person, but they've "beaten her at her own game" and made her sick with their toxic influence.
The second verse is even more introspective, as P!nk reflects on the ways this new person has changed her. She used to be very independent and carefree, but now she's constantly waiting for their attention. She's completely addicted to them, describing them as a "rush" and a "drug." She acknowledges that she's weak for being unable to resist them and admits that they've poisoned her mind.
The chorus repeats the idea that P!nk has "heartbreak down," as if she's mastered the art of being hurt. She's resigned to her fate and doesn't seem to want to fight it. However, the final verse introduces a note of optimism as she talks about wanting to stay with this person and "keep it true." She's willing to be vulnerable and take a chance on them, even if it means risking heartbreak once again.
Overall, Heartbreak Down is a powerful anthem of vulnerability and the ways in which love can challenge even the strongest of people.
