Nothing Breaks Like A Heart
RONSON Mark Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This world can hurt you
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
And nothing breaks like a heart

I heard you on the phone last night
We live and die by pretty lies
You know it, oh, we both know it
These silver bullet cigarettes
This burning house, there's nothing left
It's smoking, we both know it
We got all night to fall in love
But just like that we fall apart
We're broken, we're broken

Mmm, well, nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now

Well, there's broken silence
By thunder crashing in the dark (crash in the dark)
And this broken record
Spin endless circles in the bar (spin 'round in the bar)
This world can hurt you
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
Mmm, and nothing breaks like a heart

We'll leave each other cold as ice
And high and dry, the desert wind
Is blowin', is blowin'
Remember what you said to me?
We were drunk in love in Tennessee
And I hold it, we both know it

Mmm, that nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now
Nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now

Well, there's broken silence
By thunder crashing in the dark (crash in the dark)
And this broken record
Spin endless circles in the bar (spin 'round in the bar)
This world can hurt you
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
Mmm, and nothing breaks like a heart
Nothing breaks like a heart
Mmm, and nothing breaks like a heart

Nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now
Nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now

Well, there's broken silence
By thunder crashing in the dark (crash in the dark)
And this broken record
Spin endless circles in the bar (spin 'round in the bar)
This world can hurt you
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
Mmm, but nothing breaks like a heart




But nothing breaks like a heart
Mmm, but nothing breaks like a heart

Overall Meaning

The song "Nothing Breaks Like A Heart" is Mark Ronson's collaboration with Miley Cyrus, a powerful ballad about the pain of broken relationships. The first verse tells how the world can hurt us deeply, leaving a painful scar that nothing else can match. Ronson seems to be warning about the dangers of getting attached to someone or something, knowing that everything falls apart eventually. The chorus repeats the "nothing breaks like a heart" line, emphasizing the idea that heartbreak is the most painful kind of brokenness.


In the second verse, Ronson describes a phone conversation with someone he loves. They both know that they're lying to each other to keep the relationship going, but they can't help it. They smoke cigarettes like silver bullets to ease their worries, even though the house is already burning down. Ronson seems to be saying that they're both aware of the impending doom of their relationship, but they can't help but try to save it. They have all night to fall in love again, but they'll just end up breaking apart again, leaving them both broken.


The bridge talks about the silence that follows a fight or breakup, and the pain that comes with it. Thunder crashes in the dark, and a broken record spins endlessly in the bar. The world can hurt you, and leave a scar that nothing else can match. But still, nothing breaks like a heart.

This world can hurt you

Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
And nothing breaks like a heart

I heard you on the phone last night

These silver bullet cigarettes
This burning house, there's nothing left

It's smoking, we both know it
We got all night to fall in love
But just like that we fall apart
We're broken, we're broken

Hmm, well nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now

Well, there's broken silence
By thunder crashing in the dark (crash in the dark)

Spin endless circles in the bar (spin 'round in the bar)
This world can hurt you
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
(Hmm) and nothing breaks like a heart

We'll leave each other cold as ice
And high and dry, the desert wind
Is blowing, is blowing
Remember what you said to me?
We were drunk in love in Tennessee
And I hold it, we both know it

Nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now

Well, there's broken silence

Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
(Hmm) and nothing breaks like a heart
Nothing breaks like a heart
(Hmm) and nothing breaks like a heart

Nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now
(My heart, my heart)
Nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now

Well, there's broken silence
By thunder crashing in the dark (crash in the dark)
And this broken record
Spin endless circles in the bar (spin 'round in the bar)
This world can hurt you
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
(Hmm) and nothing breaks like a heart
But nothing breaks like a heart
(Hmm) and nothing breaks like a heart

Miley should do more songs in this country vibe mixed with pop music more often. She was born to sing this kind of musical style.
