Break my Heart
Emotional Turmoil in Love's Plea: Break My Heart by Matt McCooey
Lyrics
Something in the way you put your arms around me
Expressing the impact of the way the person puts their arms around the speaker.
Give a couple days and I can tell you honey
Assuring that with time, the speaker can convey their feelings to the person.
That I could be ok with just a little taste
Openness to being content with a small emotional connection.
Cause in your head you know I don't have what it takes, mmh
Recognition that the person is aware the speaker lacks certain qualities.
And I could tell myself that maybe you won't go
Contemplating the possibility of the person not leaving.
But you don't have to talk cause I already know, ooh
Understanding without verbal communication that the person will leave.
So darling could you break my heart (my heart)
Expressing a desire for the person to break the speaker's heart.
Make me fall in love (in love)
Asking to fall in love despite potential heartbreak.
Leave me with a scar baby please
Desiring emotional scars as proof of a meaningful connection.
I know you're too good for me (for me)
Acknowledging the person's perceived superiority.
I love the way you smile (you smile)
Appreciating the person's smile.
But I know you're gonna leave baby please
Acknowledging the imminent departure despite the positive aspects.
Baby please
Repeated plea for heartbreak and emotional scars.
Baby please
-Please
-And I'm not gonna wish I'd never met your soul
Rejecting regrets about meeting the person's soul.
Or throw away the memories to a darker hole
Committing to cherish memories despite potential pain.
I'll keep it on my sleeve until another day
Willing to show emotions until finding another who might reject.
I'll find another girl and she can throw me away
Acceptance of the possibility of being discarded by another person.
I could tell myself that maybe you won't go
Contemplating the possibility of the person not leaving, despite skepticism.
But I've been here before, so I already know
Past experience makes the speaker anticipate the person's departure.
So darling could you break my heart (my heart)
Repeating the desire for heartbreak and emotional scars.
Make me fall in love (in love)
Reiterating the request to fall in love despite foreseen pain.
Leave me with a scar baby please
Seeking a lasting mark from the relationship.
I know you're too good for me (for me)
Acknowledging the person's perceived superiority once again.
I love the way you smile (you smile)
Appreciating the person's smile despite the impending departure.
But I know you're gonna leave baby please
Repeating the plea for heartbreak and emotional scars.
(Baby please break my heart) Baby please
-(Can't stop thinking bout her) Baby please
-(Baby please break my heart) Please
Continued repetition of the plea.
(Can't stop thinking bout her)
-Cause I'm not gonna wait for a miracle
Expressing awareness that the person wants to leave, and the speaker doesn't need apologies.
I know you wanna leave, and I know you wanna leave and I know
-You don't have to tell me that you're sorry cause
-I know you wanna leave, and I know you wanna leave yeah I know
-Well I'm not gonna wait for a miracle
-I know you wanna leave, and I know you wanna leave and I know
-You don't have to tell me that you're sorry cause
-I know you wanna leave, I know you wanna leave
-So darling could you break my heart
Repeating the plea for heartbreak and emotional scars, acknowledging the person's smile.
Make me fall in love
-Leave me with a scar baby please
-I know you're too good for me (for me)
-I love the way you smile (you smile)
-But I know you're gonna leave baby please
-I can't help the way I'm feeling
Expressing difficulty in managing feelings and foreseeing the person leaving for someone else.
Distract myself I know you'll leave me
-For someone else, then maybe I'll feel fine
-Cause I cant help the way I'm feeling
-distract myself I know you'll leave me
-For someone else, maybe I'll feel fine
-And keep her off my mind
Repeating the hope to keep thoughts of another person off the speaker's mind.
