Heartbreak
Roman Lewis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I wonder why love is so cruel
But when it comes back again I'm a fool
Heartbreak is but another word for inspiration

Talking with our eyes
Look over the night
We see a never ending circle
Of trust,
Of fear,
My secrets in your ear,
But now you're leaning towards me,
And I kiss you back,
And my heart beats so quick,
As I feel my past eclipse

And I wonder why love is so cruel
But when it comes back again I'm a fool
Heartbreak is but another word for inspiration

And you unbutton my shirt,
And jump on my bed,
And I pray you'll be there in the morning
But things aren't always that perfect
Or frankly nice at all
So I wonder why I'm so surprised

No no no no no no

And I wonder why love is so cruel
But when it comes back again I'm a fool
Heartbreak is but another word for inspiration and i say

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

But when the rain falls
And the night calls
Will u still wait for me
Or am I just too tall
For you to break my fall
And you set me free

Cos I've grown a custom to all of those lies




And knocking on the door
And leaving when I say hi

Overall Meaning

In Roman Lewis's song Heartbreak, the lyrics describe the emotional rollercoaster of a relationship, specifically the ups and downs of love. The artist wonders why love can be so cruel, but also acknowledges that he is a fool to go back to it. The song suggests that heartbreak can lead to inspiration, evidenced by the lyrics, "Heartbreak is but another word for inspiration." The opening lines suggest that love can be an unpredictable force that can bring both happiness and hurt. However, despite the potential for heartbreak and betrayal, the artist finds love and connection in the moment with another person.


The second verse paints a picture of two people having a deep conversation, without speaking any words, as they look into each other's eyes. The nuances of love, such as trust and fear, are explored here. The artist shares his secrets with the other person, and they lean in for a kiss, which makes his heart race. But then, he is reminded of his past mistakes and experiences, which casts a shadow over the happiness of the moment. In the bridge, Roman Lewis questions whether this love is real and asks if the person will still wait for him through the storms of life, or if he is too much to handle.


Line by Line Meaning

And I wonder why love is so cruel
Why does love have to hurt so much?


But when it comes back again I'm a fool
Despite experiencing heartbreak, I still fall for love


Heartbreak is but another word for inspiration
In the midst of sadness, new creativity can arise


Talking with our eyes
Communicating unspoken words through intense eye contact


Look over the night
Scanning the dark sky above us


We see a never ending circle
A continuous cycle of life and emotions


Of trust, of fear,
The mix of emotions that accompany love


My secrets in your ear,
Sharing intimate thoughts with someone special


But now you're leaning towards me,
You're moving closer to me


And I kiss you back,
I respond to your affectionate advances


And my heart beats so quick,
My pulse races with excitement


As I feel my past eclipse
My emotional baggage is temporarily forgotten


And you unbutton my shirt,
You start to undress me


And jump on my bed,
We fall onto the bed together


And I pray you'll be there in the morning
I hope you'll still be with me when I wake up


But things aren't always that perfect
Reality can be harsh sometimes


Or frankly nice at all
It's not always pleasant


So I wonder why I'm so surprised
I question my unrealistic expectations


When the rain falls
During dark times


And the night calls
The loneliness of night beckons


Will u still wait for me
Will you remain by my side?


Or am I just too tall
Am I simply too difficult to handle?


For you to break my fall
Can you help me when I need you the most?


And you set me free
Will you let me go if necessary?


Cos I've grown a custom to all of those lies
I've become used to being deceived


And knocking on the door
The experience of seeking companionship


And leaving when I say hi
The lack of lasting connection
