Heartless
Heartless Love: Unraveling the Painful Dance of Regret
Lyrics
Told you you should think before you speak, but you don't want to
Told you to think before speaking, but you didn't heed the advice.
Thought that we were meant to be together till we broke in two
Believed we were destined to be together until our relationship fell apart.
No I don't think we're coming back from this argument
Expressing doubt about recovering from a significant argument.
Cause you took it to places you know you shouldn't have went, oh
Blaming the partner for taking the argument to inappropriate places.
And I
Transition to the singer's perspective.
I know I've made mistakes
Admitting personal mistakes.
But none like yours
Comparing the singer's mistakes to the partner's, emphasizing the partner's faults.
You're always taking shots
Accusing the partner of frequently criticizing or attacking.
So what's the score?
Asking about the "score" of their relationship conflicts.
Cause you're heartless, and you start shit
Describing the partner as heartless and causing issues that damage their love.
That puts our love in reverse
Implying the partner's actions are reversing the positive aspects of their relationship.
Oh your heartless, say you're not this
Reiterating the partner's heartlessness despite their denial.
But I know that it hurts
Acknowledging the partner's pain despite their denial.
Too many times I've warned you
Warning the partner multiple times about their behavior.
But you only get worse
Expressing disappointment in the partner's worsening actions.
Cause you're heartless, heartless, heartless yea
Repeating the accusation of the partner being heartless.
No, I'm never ever gonna trust another lover like you
Committing to not trusting another lover like the current partner.
Yea, I know there's a lot things you know said that you wish you could undo
Acknowledging regrets from the partner about things said.
You always thought that your love was sealed in cement
Highlighting the partner's misconception that their love is unbreakable.
If you treat me like an animal I would stay in your pen, oh
Metaphorically stating that if treated poorly, the singer won't stay committed.
Know I made mistakes
Admitting personal mistakes again.
But none like yours
Comparing the singer's wishes for better days to uncertainty.
I wished for better days
Expressing a desire for better times.
But I'm not sure
Uncertainty about achieving those better days.
Cause you're heartless, and you start shit
Reiterating the partner's heartlessness and the negative impact on their love.
That puts our love in reverse
Linking the partner's actions to reversing the positive aspects of their relationship.
Oh your heartless, say you're not this
Repeating the denial of heartlessness despite evidence.
But I know that it hurts
Acknowledging the partner's pain despite their denial.
Too many times I've warned you
Repeating warnings to the partner about their behavior.
But you only get worse
Expressing frustration at the partner's continuous deterioration.
Cause you're heartless, heartless, heartless yea
Reiterating the accusation of the partner being heartless.
I was locked up in your heart
Metaphorically describing being confined in the partner's heart.
You know you got the very very best of me
Acknowledging the partner extracting the best from the singer.
Twisted from the start
Describing the relationship as twisted from the beginning.
Time away will give you what you need to see
Suggesting that time apart will reveal the truth about the relationship.
Oh, cause you're heartless, and you start shit
Repeating the accusation of the partner being heartless.
That puts our love in reverse
Linking the partner's actions to reversing the positive aspects of their relationship.
Oh your heartless, say you're not this
Repeating the denial of heartlessness despite evidence.
But I know that it hurts
Acknowledging the partner's pain despite their denial.
Too many times I've warned you
Repeating warnings to the partner about their behavior.
But you only get worse
Expressing frustration at the partner's continuous deterioration.
Cause you're heartless, heartless, heartless yea (yea)
Reiterating the accusation of the partner being heartless.
