Heartbreaker
The Lonely Hearts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you have got me twisted like you've always wanted to
But no one in this world could hurt me like I know how to
Well, it's pain whenever I walk from a room
'Cause I'm a heartbreaker, I'm a heartbreaker
But I'm gonna try to change your life
If it's the last thing that I do
And darling, you have seen me when I swear I was at my worst
The Sabbath or a weekday, it don't matter which comes first
And there are days when my existence feels just like a curse
Well, you've seen pain, I've often time rehearsed
'Cause I'm a heartbreaker, I'm a heartbreaker
But I'm gonna try to change your life
If it's the last thing that I do
'Cause you might be a heartbreaker
Yeah, you think that you are one of a kind
But you two at best, it's true
And you think that you are always on my mind
But I've got some news for you
Oh, I've got some news for you
'Cause I'm a heartbreaker, I'm a heartbreaker
But I'm gonna try to change your life
If it's the last thing that I do, oh yeah
'Cause you might be a heartbreaker too
The lyrics of "Heartbreaker" by The Lonely Hearts speak about a toxic relationship and the emotional struggles that come with it. The singer acknowledges that they are tied to their partner and are willing participants in the destructive cycle of heartbreak. The line "And you have got me twisted like you've always wanted to" suggests that their partner enjoys manipulating and controlling them in this way. However, the singer also admits that no one can hurt them quite like they can hurt themselves, indicating that they are complicit in their own emotional pain. The chorus of the song sees the singer vowing to change their ways and become a positive force in their partner's life, even suggesting that their partner may also suffer from a heartbreaker mentality.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's emotional struggles, describing how they feel cursed and displaying self-destructive behavior. The line "Well, you've seen pain, I've often time rehearsed" suggests that the singer is used to experiencing pain and is almost addicted to it. The bridge of the song sees the singer pushing back against their partner's ego, insisting that they are not as unique or all-encompassing in their thoughts as they believe. Despite this, the chorus repeats once again, with the singer maintaining their determination to break the cycle of heartbreak.
Overall, "Heartbreaker" is a poignant look at the emotional toll a toxic relationship can take on both parties involved. The lyrics acknowledge the destructive nature of the relationship while still holding onto hope for change and growth.
