Lyrics
Maybe it’s my fault the way i looked at you
The speaker questions if their perspective contributed to the situation.
When you were gone
Reflecting on the absence of the person being addressed.
Maybe it’s my fault i fell so hard
Admitting to falling deeply for the individual.
Maybe it’s my fault
Acknowledging personal responsibility.
Maybe baby maybe it’s my fault
Reiterating personal culpability.
But that doesn’t mean the way you led me on
Suggesting that despite the speaker's responsibility, the other person misled them.
Was all okay
Questioning the acceptability of the other person's actions.
Doesn’t make the callus go away
Stating that despite acknowledgement, emotional pain persists.
My heart’s been cut so deep that it’s been
Describing the depth of emotional hurt experienced.
Swimming up to breathe ever since
Metaphorically expressing ongoing struggle and efforts to recover emotionally.
Heartbreaker
Addressing the person as a 'heartbreaker.'
Stay the hell away
Requesting distance and separation from the individual.
You don’t have a reason anymore
Asserting the absence of a valid justification from the person's end.
My hearts in pieces on the floor
Expressing the devastation caused by the person's actions.
You can’t break me anymore
Claiming a stance of resilience against further harm.
Oh heartbreaker
Reiterating the term 'heartbreaker' in an emotional context.
On a day in new york city i was walking on this roof
Setting the scene of a specific day in New York City.
I called u up u tell me that your sorry bout this dude
Recalling a conversation with the person about their involvement with someone else.
You just hooked up with and i just wanted to tell you that i love you
Expressing love despite the person's involvement with another individual.
“What did you say?”
Reacting to the person's surprise at the declaration of love.
Hypnotized you sympathize
Describing a state of being captivated and showing understanding.
You tell me its okay
Accepting the person's attempt to console or make amends.
But it isn’t i can tell it by the way
Noticing the person's true emotions despite their reassurance.
You look at me with other boys around
Observing the person's behavior with others.
The things you do when i am out of town
Highlighting the person's actions when the speaker is away.
Heartbreaker
Repeating the term 'heartbreaker' to emphasize the emotional impact.
Stay the hell away
Reiterating the request for distance and separation.
You don’t have a reason anymore
Asserting the absence of a justifiable cause for the person's behavior.
My hearts in pieces on the floor
Repeating the emotional devastation caused by the person.
You can’t break me anymore
Claiming resilience against further emotional harm.
Oh heartbreaker
Repeating the term 'heartbreaker' to signify the continued emotional impact.
Heartbreaker
Continuing to address the person as a 'heartbreaker.'
Stay the hell away
Reiterating the request for distance and separation from the individual.
You don’t have a reason anymore
Asserting the absence of a valid justification for the person's actions.
My hearts in pieces on the floor
Repeating the emotional devastation caused by the person.
You can’t break me anymore
Claiming resilience against further emotional harm.
Oh heartbreaker
Concluding with the emotional impact of being labeled a 'heartbreaker.'
