Heartbreak
Ry Cuming Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Caught in the moment hearing you laughter
Wanting your honest touch
But you're in the corner and I'm on the sideline
Waiting for time to rest

Do we really think these words could save this love
We're holding on to what we know
And I feel your kiss on my fingertips

Heartbreak is coming can't you see the signs,
I should be running
Heartbreak is honest we're barely holding on
I should be running

Could be a silence, a silence between us
Breaking us slowly apart
Come back and hold me, tell me you need me
Whisper it softly to my ear

Do we really think these words could save this love
I'm holding on to what I know
And I feel your kiss and I try to miss you

Heartbreak is coming can't you see the signs,
I should be running
Heartbreak is honest we're barely holding on
I should be running

Oh, your way across the ocean, oh
I hear your call, you calling me

Heartbreak is coming can't you see the signs,
I should be running




Heartbreak is honest we're barely holding on
I should be running

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ry Cuming's song Heartbreak depict a moment of tension in a relationship that seems to be falling apart. The singer is caught in the moment, hearing his lover's laughter and longing for their touch, but he realizes that things aren't right between them. They are in different places emotionally, with his lover retreating to a corner while he feels like he's on the sideline, waiting for time to heal their wounds. He wonders if the words they say can really save their relationship, knowing that they're just holding on to what they know. He feels her kiss on his fingertips but he knows that heartbreak is coming and he should be running.


The second verse adds more depth to the situation, describing the silence between them that's slowly breaking them apart. The singer wants his lover to come back and hold him, tell him that they need each other and whisper it softly in his ear. But again, he wonders if those words can really save their relationship. He feels her kiss but he tries to miss her. The bridge of the song introduces another layer to the story, with the singer imagining his lover on the other side of the ocean, calling out to him. Despite the distance and the impending heartbreak, he still hears her call.


Overall, Heartbreak is a poignant and melancholic song about a relationship that's falling apart despite the singer's attempts to hold on. It portrays the complexity of emotions involved in letting go and moving on, while also acknowledging the power of love to transcend distance and time.

Waiting for time to rest
I'm hoping that with time, things will get better


Do we really think these words could save this love

We're struggling to hold things together, and the truth is that our love is falling apart


Could be a silence, a silence between us
There's an underlying quietness that's causing distance in our relationship


Breaking us slowly apart
This silence is damaging us, and pushing us further away from each other


Come back and hold me, tell me you need me
I want you to show me that you still care about me and our relationship


Whisper it softly to my ear
Speak to me gently and reassure me of your love


Oh your way across the ocean, oh

I know I should just leave now before it gets worse
