Heartbreak Now
Yearning Desires: Embracing Heartbreak in Michelle Branch's Melody
Lyrics
You're my one obsession
You are the central focus of my thoughts and feelings.
You're my daydream in the afternoon
You are the subject of my daydreams, particularly in the afternoon.
It's my great depression
This relationship is causing a significant emotional downturn for me.
I love knowing that I can't have you, oh
I find pleasure in the fact that I cannot have you.
The things I should be running from
I am drawn to things that I should be avoiding.
I never seem to get enough
I constantly crave and pursue things that may be harmful.
Ready for the heartbreak now
I am mentally prepared for the emotional pain of heartbreak.
Got me spinning out of control
I feel like I am losing control over my emotions.
And I'm haunted by the way that I want you
I am tormented by the strong desire I have for you.
'Cause you can't help who you love
Expressing the inevitability of falling in love with someone, regardless of rational choices.
I'm lonely all over again
I am experiencing loneliness once again.
Lonely all over again
Reiterating the feeling of loneliness.
No you can't help who you love
Highlighting the uncontrollable nature of love.
Opposite attraction
There is a strong attraction between us despite our differences.
Pull me like a magnet into you
You draw me toward you like a magnetic force.
'Cause a chain reaction
Our connection sets off a series of events, limiting my freedom.
Hold me down so I can't make a move, woah
You hold me back from making independent decisions.
The things I should be running from
Repetition of the attraction to things I should avoid.
I never seem to get enough
I am unable to resist the things I should be avoiding.
Ready for the heartbreak now
Embracing the emotional pain that comes with heartbreak.
Got me spinning out of control
Feeling overwhelmed and out of control due to emotions.
And I'm haunted by the way that I want you
Continuing to be haunted by the intense desire for you.
'Cause you can't help who you love
Reiterating the idea that love is not always a choice.
I'm lonely all over again
Experiencing loneliness once more.
I'm lonely all over again
Repeating the sense of loneliness.
No you can't help who you love
Emphasizing the lack of control over who one falls in love with.
Only you know how to set me off
Only you have the ability to provoke strong emotions in me.
I never seem to get enough
Repeating the theme of craving things that may be detrimental.
Ready for the heartbreak now
Mentally prepared for the impending emotional pain of heartbreak.
Got me spinning out of control
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed and unable to control the situation.
And I'm haunted by the way that I want you
Continuing to be haunted by the intense desire for you.
'Cause you can't help who you love
Reiterating that love is not always a rational choice.
I'm lonely all over again
Experiencing loneliness once again.
I'm lonely all over again
Repeating the feeling of loneliness.
No you can't help who you love
Emphasizing the lack of control over who one falls in love with.
Woo oh oh No you can't help who you love
Expressing the inevitability and uncontrollable nature of love.
No you can't help who you love
Reiterating the idea that love is not always a choice.
