Ain't Gonna Break My Heart

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don′t worry
I'm in a better place now
I′ve been doing fine without your company
It ain't half empty
Nah, that's a full glass of Crown
And anybody here next round, it′s on me

Every single minute I′m here
A little more of you disappears

Might be going through hell right now
But I ain't going by myself
Long as I don′t leave this bar
You ain't gonna break my heart
Don′t wanna see you around town
Messin' ′round with someone else
Long as I don't leave this bar
You ain't gonna break my heart
No, no
(Break my heart)

This neon
Ain′t gonna shed any light
On what′s waiting outside these swinging doors
It won't be long
′Fore this whiskey melts the ice
You don't even cross my mind anymore

Might be going through hell right now
But I ain′t going by myself
Long as I don't leave this bar
You ain′t gonna break my heart
Don't wanna see you around town
Messin' ′round with someone else
Long as I don′t leave this bar
You ain't gonna break my heart

(You ain′t gonna break my)
(You ain't gonna break my heart)
(You ain′t gonna break my)
(You ain't gonna break my heart)

And now that you′re gone
I'm trying to move on
But I can't get gone enough

Might be going through hell right now
But I ain′t going by myself
Long as I don′t leave this bar
You ain't gonna break my heart
Don′t wanna see you around town
Messin' ′round with someone else
Long as I don't leave this bar
You ain′t gonna break my heart

You ain't gonna break my
You ain't gonna break my heart
You ain′t gonna break my
You ain′t gonna break my heart
No, you ain't gonna break my
You ain′t gonna break my heart




You ain't gonna break my
You ain′t gonna break my heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Austin Burke's song Ain't Gonna Break My Heart depict the singer's state of mind after going through a heartbreak. In the beginning, the singer states that he doesn't need the person who broke his heart anymore as he's doing fine on his own. He even orders a full glass of Crown and offers to buy the next round, showing that he's not letting his heartbreak hold him back from enjoying life. However, with every passing moment, the singer seems to be shedding away the memories of his past lover.


The chorus is the most prominent part of the song where the singer declares that he's not going to let his heartbreak get the best of him. He establishes that as long as he's in the bar, he's not going to leave, and no one is going to break his heart. The neon lights in the bar won't expose what's outside, and he intends to drown his sorrows with whiskey until he forgets his past love. The singer realizes that he might be in hell currently, but he's not alone, and he's not going to leave the bar until he can do it without thinking of his ex.


In the end, the singer admits that he's still struggling to move on entirely, and he can't get far enough from his past love. However, he still stands his ground and is determined not to let his heartbreak hinder his life anymore.
