Break My Heart
Sean Fournier Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If one day the Devil finds me
and he finds a way to sneak behind me.
and he finds a way to read my mind
and get all the ideas that define me.
and he comes up with a proposition.
He tells me I have ambition.
So many great things in this life
and I can have it all under one condition.
I give him my girl.
But I'd be alone
in place of all the new things I'd own.
He just tells me that I'll be fine.
Just put my name on the dotted line
and picture myself in the grand design
of any new car on the lot.
Where I could even drive with the windows down
and go anywhere I want.
Or i could fly to some jungle in my personal jet
where I can catch a tiger by the toe and ask him to be my pet.
Or I could just stay home, count my dough and fend off all invaders.
'Cause I've got a castle and a moat that I just filled with alligators,
but I wouldn't be happy though.
And I'd have to tell him no.
And I would turn around and walk away.
'Cause I could live like a king, but all that stuff don't mean a thing
if I don't have you.

'Cause I don't want to be away from you
because I know my heart would tear in two.
Yeah I don't ever want to be apart
because I know that this would break my heart.
Yeah this would break my heart.

So, he comes back for a second time and he's not playing nice
'cause he's mad and he's mean and he tells me that he'll try anything twice.
And he comes back with a brand new deal and I can't believe what I hear this time.
'Cause if I give up the girl I love then I could have anything in my mind.
Like, I could turn back the hands of time and hi-five myself.
and if I get hurt really bad then I can restore my health.
If I could breathe underwater I could soak up life's advantages,
make friends with a mermaid and he could show me where she thinks Atlantis is.
Or I could fly anytime I want.
And I could die anytime I want.
and come back to life anytime I want.
Just because it's possible...
To blow a magic horn and make a thunder storm,
put on my uniform and I can ride to work on a unicorn.
'Cause I've got no supervision
I make the big decisions.
I can see through walls and see through anything with x-ray vision.
But I don't need a crystal ball to know that I would frown.
So in the end, I would turn him down.

'Cause I don't want to be away from you
because I know my heart would tear in two.
Yeah I don't ever want to be apart
because I know that this would break my heart.
Yeah this would break my heart.

No one could ever take your place
I never want to fall from grace
And if you want to know the truth
my world would shatter without you

'Cause I don't want to be away from you
because I know my heart would tear in two.
Yeah I don't ever want to be apart




because I know that this would break my heart.
Yeah this would break my heart.

Overall Meaning

Sean Fournier's "Break My Heart" is a song that talks about the power of love and how it can make us reject every offer that seems good without our loved ones. The song starts with an imaginary scenario where the devil offers the singer all the good things in life if he offers his girl, and all he'd be left with is his possessions. The devil paints a pretty picture of owning a personal jet, driving a new car, owning a castle and a moat filled with alligators, and everything else that money can buy, but without the girl, it all means nothing.


The second verse has the devil come back with a more tempting offer where he promises the singer supernatural abilities and the ability to do anything he wants by giving up the girl. He could turn back time, breathe underwater, come back to life and make thunderstorms with a magic horn. All of it means nothing because he believes that his heart would tear in two without the girl, and he wouldn't be able to handle it. All of the possessions, wealth and power would be worthless without his love, and nothing the devil offered could break his heart more than losing her.


The song portrays how love can be the ultimate driving force to motivate one to reject everything else that might seem tempting but not worth much without the person they love.


Line by Line Meaning

If one day the Devil finds me
If I ever face temptation and corruption


and he finds a way to sneak behind me.
and it comes unexpectedly without me noticing it


and he finds a way to read my mind
and it explores even the deepest parts of me


and get all the ideas that define me.
and gets to know everything that makes me who I am


and he comes up with a proposition.
and he makes me an offer


He tells me I have ambition.
He acknowledges my desire to succeed


So many great things in this life
So many possibilities in life


and I can have it all under one condition.
but the only condition is to give up the one I love


I give him my girl.
I give up the person I love


But I'd be alone
But I'd be lonely without her


in place of all the new things I'd own.
in exchange for all the material possessions I'd get


He just tells me that I'll be fine.
He tries to convince me that everything will be okay


Just put my name on the dotted line
All I have to do is to sign the contract


and picture myself in the grand design
Imagining myself surrounded by luxury and extravagance


of any new car on the lot.
such as owning any car I want


Where I could even drive with the windows down
Where I can feel the fresh air on my face while driving


and go anywhere I want.
and visit any place I want


Or i could fly to some jungle in my personal jet
Or I could travel anywhere in style


where I can catch a tiger by the toe and ask him to be my pet.
Where capturing a wild animal is possible


Or I could just stay home, count my dough and fend off all invaders.
Or I could stay home and have all the wealth and security to myself


'Cause I've got a castle and a moat that I just filled with alligators,
Because I have all the resources to protect myself from external threats


but I wouldn't be happy though.
But I know I wouldn't be satisfied with all of those material things alone


And I'd have to tell him no.
And I'd have to refuse his offer


And I would turn around and walk away.
And I'd choose to leave it all behind


'Cause I could live like a king, but all that stuff don't mean a thing
Because having all the material possessions won't compensate for what I would lose


if I don't have you.
If I don't have the one I love beside me


'Cause I don't want to be away from you
Because being away from you would hurt me


because I know my heart would tear in two.
Because my heart would feel broken


Yeah I don't ever want to be apart
I never want to be away from you


because I know that this would break my heart.
Because this would hurt me deeply


So, he comes back for a second time and he's not playing nice
So, he comes back with an even more tempting offer


'cause he's mad and he's mean and he tells me that he'll try anything twice.
Because he is furious and determined to make me choose his offer


And he comes back with a brand new deal and I can't believe what I hear this time.
He comes with another attractive proposal which is hard to resist


'Cause if I give up the girl I love then I could have anything in my mind.
If I give up the one I love, I can have anything I want


Like, I could turn back the hands of time and hi-five myself.
I could have full control over time


and if I get hurt really bad then I can restore my health.
I could heal all my physical and emotional wounds


If I could breathe underwater I could soak up life's advantages,
I could explore and experience the world in a different way


make friends with a mermaid and he could show me where she thinks Atlantis is.
I could even explore underwater kingdoms and have a different kind of adventure


Or I could fly anytime I want.
I could be free to go anywhere anytime


And I could die anytime I want.
I could have full control even over my own mortality


and come back to life anytime I want.
I could have unlimited chances to live and experience everything


Just because it's possible...
Just because it can be done technically


To blow a magic horn and make a thunderstorm,
I could even control the forces of nature


put on my uniform and I can ride to work on a unicorn.
even my daily routine could be magical and surreal


'Cause I've got no supervision
Because I am free from any rules and limitations


I make the big decisions.
I have the power to decide everything


I can see through walls and see through anything with x-ray vision.
Even the impossible is possible for me


But I don't need a crystal ball to know that I would frown.
But I know I wouldn't be happy even with all those fantastic things


So in the end, I would turn him down.
So in the end, I would reject his offer


No one could ever take your place
No one could replace you


I never want to fall from grace
I never want to lose your love and trust


And if you want to know the truth
If you ever ask me what matters most to me


my world would shatter without you
I wouldn't be able to cope without you
