Break Up Every Night
The Chainsmokers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She wants to break up every night
She wants to break up every night
Don't wanna wait until she finally decides to feel it
She wants to break up every night
Then tries to fuck me back to life
I cannot help it if I like the way she makes me feel it

"Give me time, give me space, give me reason"
That's what you tell me when you're leaving
Change your mind every night like the seasons
You're insatiable

And I know you say you want it now (want it now)
Give me the runaround (runaround)
Which one am I with now
She's got seven personalities, everyone's a tragedy

She wants to break up every night
She wants to break up every night
Don't wanna wait until she finally decides to feel it
She wants to break up every night
Then tries to fuck me back to life
I cannot help it if I like the way she makes me feel it

Been to France one time and you're Parisian
Joined the real world, new season
Check my phone, check my pulse, ain't a reason
I kinda love it though

And I know you say you leave me now (leave me now)
Give me the runaround (runaround)
Which one am I with now
She's got seven personalities, every one's a tragedy

She wants to break up every night
She wants to break up every night
Don't wanna wait until she finally decides to feel it
She wants to break up every night
Then tries to fuck me back to life
I cannot help it if I like the way she makes me feel it

She wants to break up every night
She wants to break up every night
Don't wanna wait until she finally decides to feel it

So I build bridges up, the bridges up
Build the bridges up again
Build bridges up, the bridges up
Build the bridges up again
Build bridges up, the bridges up
Build the bridges up again, oh

She wants to break up every night
She wants to break up every night
Don't wanna wait until she finally decides to feel it
She wants to break up every night




Then tries to fuck me back to life
I cannot help it if I like the way she makes me feel it

Overall Meaning

The Chainsmokers’s song, Break Up Every Night, is a reflection of a tumultuous relationship. The lyrics seem to be about a relationship that cannot seem to break free of its unhealthy cycle. The female character in the theme seems to be constantly wanting to break up despite the male character being unable to resist her charm. She is indecisive, changing her mind daily, and trying to provide physical intimacy as a band-aid. The male character seems to be aware of her game but helpless to the emotional strain.


The lyrics illustrate the pain, confusion, and emotional turmoil of a dysfunctional relationship. The chorus repeats the phrase “She wants to break up every night,” emphasizing the cyclical nature of this dysfunctional partnership. The male character is participating in a never-ending cycle, constantly forgiving and trying to fix the relationship. He bears the weight of their emotional baggage and is trying to navigate the pitfalls that arise. The chorus ends with the male character saying he cannot help but feel the way his partner makes him feel.


The song is a cautionary tale of how some relationships can feel as though they are moving in circles. It shows the hopelessness of trying to continually fix a relationship that seems to always be broken. This song is relatable to those who have been stuck in a similar cycle of a dysfunctional relationship

This sounds like some alternative boy band from the 2000's and I love it

@suemundt8441

I’ve just turned 60 years old, but have been loving this album for years . Doesn’t matter how old you are, your soul will still love what it loves 👌

@aidanLVbeats

@nicmanza4657

Spotify telling me I might like this album was the biggest diss of my life. The fact this puts me in the same group as fully grown adults trying to relate to early-teenagers issues is just the salt on hte injury
