Permanent Heartbreak
The Friday Night Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Face down on the bathroom floor
Did you know you left me hanging out to dry
Can you see me and I see you
Do you even care, I'm fighting for my life

Wrapped in confusion
Were you only using me to try to get him back
You set me up and that was my mistake
And all I got was permanent heartbreak
Damaged beyond repair
I was, I was much better off
Before I met you
And your with him
It pisses me off that your A-Okay
And all that I've got is permanent heartbreak

Left lying in my bed
It's killing me that
Your next to him, not me
I wish I wasn't stuck with
This stupid tattoo of you on me

Wrapped in confusion
Were you only using me to try to get him back
You set me up and that was my mistake
And all I got was permanent heartbreak
Damaged beyond repair
I was, I was much better off
Before I met you
And your with him
It pisses me off that your A-Okay
And all that I've got is permanent heartbreak

Can you see me and I see you
Do you even care, I'm dying

You set me up and that was my mistake
And all I got was permanent heartbreak
Damaged beyond repair
I was, I was much better off
Before I met you
And your with him
It pisses me off that your A-Okay




Woah oh, I hate that your A-okay!
And all that I've got is permanent heartbreak

Overall Meaning

The Friday Night Boys's "Permanent Heartbreak" speaks to the devastating pain that comes with a broken heart. The first verse finds the singer on the bathroom floor, left "hanging out to dry" by their love interest. They are alone and fighting for their life, asking if their ex-partner even cares about the hurt they've caused. The confusion sets in as the singer realizes they may have been used as a tool to try to win back an old flame. As they struggle with their pain, they recognize the permanent damage done to their heart and the disappointment in the fact that the person who hurt them is seemingly okay.


The second verse finds the singer in bed, struggling with the knowledge that their ex-partner is with someone else. The tattoo they have of their former lover serves as a reminder of the pain they've experienced. Once again, confusion sets in and the singer wonders if they were just a pawn in their ex-partner's plan to win back someone else. They are filled with anger towards the person who caused them this hurt and it's frustrating that they can seemingly move on without issue, while the singer is left with permanent heartbreak. This song is a heartbreaking portrayal of the pain and confusion that comes with a difficult breakup.
