I Could Never Break Your Heart
Summer Twins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can't get my mind around your memory
Something was in the air
The way you stared, it took me completely
The more I dream about your face
Your features start to blur then begin to fade away
But some things, they stay the same
The color of your shoes, the sound of your voice remains
That I may never see you again
This is bye, often it's better
To only think about you every now and then
'Cause if we found eachother now
And spend some time, I'm sure that we would be let down
I would see your flaws and fears
And surely you would find that I am not your type, my dear
Now you know it's better left alone
For you cannot grow tired of what you do not know
If I never let you in
You could never break my heart
I could never break your heart
You could never break my heart
I could never break your heart
The Summer Twins' song "I Could Never Break Your Heart" is an earnest and poignant exploration of the complexities of relationships that never quite come into fruition. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing and nostalgia for someone who has left an indelible impression on the singer, even though they have only just met. The opening line, "I know that I, I just met you, but I can't get my mind around your memory" encapsulates this sentiment perfectly, as the singer is unable to shake the feeling that they have known this person for far longer than they actually have.
The song continues with the singer recounting the details that they do remember about this person, such as the color of their shoes and the sound of their voice, while acknowledging that the memory of the person is fading with time. There is a bittersweet quality to these memories, as the singer knows that they may never see this person again, and if they did, reality may fall far short of the fantasy.
Towards the end of the song, the singer acknowledges that though it may be tempting to try and pursue a relationship with this person, it is ultimately better to leave things be. The lines "Now you know it's better left alone, for you cannot grow tired of what you do not know" encapsulate this sentiment perfectly. It's a stark but ultimately mature viewpoint, as the singer recognizes that by keeping the memory of this person alive in their mind, they can never truly be disappointed by reality.
Overall, "I Could Never Break Your Heart" is a wistful and heartfelt reflection on the power that people can have over our memories and emotions, even if we have only known them for a short time.

I know that I, I just met you
I understand that we just met
But I can't get my mind around your memory
But I can't seem to stop thinking about you
Something was in the air
There was something significant happening
The way you stared, it took me completely
The intensity of your gaze completely captivated me
The more I dream about your face
The more I think about you, even in my dreams
Your features start to blur then begin to fade away
I can't remember the details of your face
But some things, they stay the same
But there are some things I remember clearly
The color of your shoes, the sound of your voice remains
The color of your shoes and the sound of your voice are things I remember about you
I know that there's a good chance
I know that it's highly possible
That I may never see you again
That I may never see you again
This is bye, often it's better
This is where we say goodbye, and it's often better that way
To only think about you every now and then
To only think about you occasionally
'Cause if we found each other now
Because if we ran into each other now
And spend some time, I'm sure that we would be let down
And we spent time together, it's likely that we would be disappointed
I would see your flaws and fears
I would notice your imperfections and anxieties
And surely you would find that I am not your type, my dear
And you would realize that I'm not the type of person you're looking for
Now you know it's better left alone
Now you understand that it's better to leave things as they are
For you can not grow tired of what you do not know
Because you can not become tired of something you don't know
If I never let you in
If I never allowed you into my life
You could never break my heart
You can never hurt me if I don't let you in
I could never break your heart
I could never hurt you if we don't try to be together
You could never break my heart
You can never hurt me if I don't let you in
I could never break your heart
I could never hurt you if we don't try to be together
