Heartbreak
Sophie Ellis Bextor & The Freemasons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tried to forget you've gone away
The tears I've cried
They won't subside
Unless the music starts to play
Heartbreak, make me a dancer, dancer
DJ, give me the answer, answer
I couldn't do it alone
I need to feel I'm getting stronger
Long as I'm moving it feels true
And with each step
I will forget
Forget all of those memories of you
Keep it coming on and on and on
Heartbreak, make me a dancer, dancer
DJ, give me the answer, answer
Love, stop getting me down, down, down
I couldn't do it alone
Heartbreak, make me a dancer, dancer
Keep my heart beating faster, faster
Love, stop bringing me down, down, down
I couldn't do it alone
Do it alone, I couldn't do it alone
Heartbreak, make me a dancer, dancer
DJ, give me the answer, answer
Love, stop getting me down, down, down
Heartbreak, make me a dancer, dancer
DJ, give me the answer, answer
Love, stop getting me down, down, down

"Heartbreak Make Me a Dancer" by Sophie Ellis-Bextor is a dance-pop anthem about using music and dancing as a way to cope with heartbreak. The first verse establishes the singer's state of mind, as she attempts to hold herself together after a love has left her. She knows she needs music to move on, to feel free, and to forget her heartbreak. The chorus is an exclamation to heartbreak, begging for it to make the singer a dancer, as she needs the answer to healing. The verse, chorus, and beat of the song illustrate the power of music and how it can set one free.
The song's pre-chorus states the singer's need to feel stronger. A sense of strength and liberation comes from moving to the beat, and with each new step, her memories of love are left in the past. The outro to the song repeats the chorus and physically illustrates the desire of the singer to escape the heartbreak by letting go through dancing. The song is ultimately a testament to the power of music as a source of liberation from heartbreak.

I've tried to hold myself together
I've attempted to stay composed
Tried to forget you've gone away
I've attempted to put you out of my mind
The tears I've cried
The tears I've shed
They won't subside
They won't stop flowing
Unless the music starts to play
Unless I listen to music
Heartbreak, make me a dancer, dancer
I hope that heartbreak will inspire me to dance
DJ, give me the answer, answer
DJ, help me find the solution
Love, stop getting me down, down, down
Love, please stop making me feel sad
I couldn't do it alone
I couldn't handle it by myself
I need to feel I'm getting stronger
I need to feel like I'm improving
Long as I'm moving it feels true
As long as I'm dancing or doing something active, it feels real
And with each step
With every movement I make
I will forget
I will erase from memory
Forget all of those memories of you
Forget all memories of you
Keep it coming on and on and on
Keep the music and dancing going indefinitely
Heartbreak, make me a dancer, dancer
Heartbreak, allow me to dance
Keep my heart beating faster, faster
Make my heart beat faster
Love, stop bringing me down, down, down
Love, stop making me feel low
Do it alone, I couldn't do it alone
I can't do this on my own
Ooh Ooh Ooh
