Heartbreaker
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it a light from the angels, or your devil deep inside?
What about the way you say you love me all the time
Are you liftin' me up to heaven, just to drop me down the line?
There's a ring around my finger,
But will you change your mind?
And you tell me that I'm beautiful,
Are you a heartbreaker?
Maybe you want me for the ride
What if I'm fallin' for a heartbreaker?
And everything is just a lie
I won't be leavin' here alive
I won't be leavin' here alive, no
Temporary happiness is like waiting for the knife
'Cause I'm always watchin' for someone to show their darker side
So maybe I'll sit back and just enjoy all this for now
Watch it all play out, see if you really stick around
But there's always this one question
That keeps me up at night
Are you my greatest love
Or disappointment in my life?
Are you a heartbreaker?
Maybe you want me for the ride
What if I'm fallin' for a heartbreaker?
And everything is just a lie
I won't be leavin' here alive
I might as well lay down and die
I'm holding on with both hands and both feet, oh
Promise that you won't pull the rug out from under me
Are you a heartbreaker?
Maybe you want me for the ride
I pray to god you're not a heartbreaker
This time around I won't survive
'Cause if I'm fallin' for a heartbreaker
And everything is just a lie
I won't be leavin' here alive
I might as well lay down and die, oh
I won't be leavin' here alive
In P!nk's song "Heartbreaker," the singer expresses her doubts and fears about the sincerity of her lover's feelings for her. She mentions the little sparkle in his eye, wondering if it's an angelic light or a devilish one, representing a potential dark side to him. When he tells her he loves her, she questions whether he means it or if he's just leading her on. She also acknowledges the ring on her finger, but wonders if he'll change his mind and leave her.
The chorus of the song focuses on the fear of falling for a heartbreaker, someone who may just want her for the thrill of the ride or for their own personal gain. The lyrics also touch on the idea of temporary happiness, cautioning that it can sometimes be like waiting for a knife, as one is always wary of when the other shoe will drop.
Overall, the song is a reflection of the fear and uncertainty that can come with falling in love, especially when one has been hurt before. P!nk's powerful vocals and emotional delivery add depth to the lyrics, making it a powerful track that many can relate to.
Line by Line Meaning
I keep thinkin' bout that little sparkle in your eye
I can't help but wonder if the glint I see in your eyes is the light of the good or the devilish in you.
What about the way you say you love me all the time
I can't be sure if your constant declarations of love for me are sincere or not.
Are you liftin' me up to heaven, just to drop me down the line?
I wonder if you are playing with my heart, raising my spirits only to crush me later?
There's a ring around my finger,
But will you change your mind?
I have a wedding ring on my finger, but I can't trust that you will always want to be with me.
And you tell me that I'm beautiful,
But that could be a lie
I struggle to believe your compliments to me as they could be nothing but false.
Temporary happiness is like waiting for the knife
Being happy in this relationship feels like waiting for a disaster to strike.
'Cause I'm always watchin' for someone to show their darker side
I'm constantly on the lookout for signs that you have a darker and sinister side to you.
Watch it all play out, see if you really stick around
I'll wait and see if you are in this for the long haul or if you are just intending to leave me sooner or later.
But there's always this one question
That keeps me up at night
I have this one burning question that eats at me and keeps me up at night.
Are you my greatest love
Or disappointment in my life?
I wonder if you will end up being the love of my life or my biggest disappointment.
I won't be leavin' here alive
If this relationship ends up heartbreakingly bad, I don't think I can bear it and will die from the hurt.
I'm holding on with both hands and both feet, oh
Promise that you won't pull the rug out from under me
I'm doing all I can to hold on to this relationship and need you to promise me that you won't unexpectedly end it.
I pray to god you're not a heartbreaker
This time around I won't survive
I hope you aren't planning on breaking my heart because I don't think I can survive it again.
'Cause if I'm fallin' for a heartbreaker
And everything is just a lie
If you are indeed a heartbreaker, I've already fallen for your lies and false promises.
I might as well lay down and die
I'd rather die than go through the heartbreak of being fooled by another heartbreaker.

This song is completely amazing! Pink has an awesome voice and her songs(especially this one) rock!! :D <3
Nicole
I love this song, it describes how I've been feeling lately. Part of the issue is that people say things because that's how they feel at the moment, not even thinking about the future. They don't realize how much it hurts when you find out that they didn't really mean 'forever', they only meant for 'as long as you make me feel good.'
Caio Brito
Why this was not a single?! WHY THIS WAS NOT ON THE ALBUM?! It would be a smash hit.

Caio Everton I think it was because when I'm Not Dead came out, she had recently been married to Carey and she didn't want people to think that there was something wrong with their relationship to not attract attention?? I honestly don't know, your guess is as good as mine but you're right it's SOOOO GOOOD
Matheus Souto Bastos
I will never understand this. This would definitely be a single!
GlambyJackM
apparently it said in her biography that it was on I'm not dead in the platinum edition
spiffy216
It was in the I'm not dead platinum editions bonus tracks. I agree it should have been a single. I think it would've been a huge hit.
