Break Itself
Heartbreak Symphony: Embracing the Pain in Tristan Bushman's 'Break Itself'
Lyrics
I wanna go out and see you kissing on somebody else
I desire to witness you kissing someone else.
See a number I don't know lighting up your phone at 2 am
Observing an unknown number on your phone at 2 am.
I want you staying out late
I want you to stay out late.
I want to hear you say
Desire to hear you confess that you won't feel the same way.
That you ain't ever gonna feel the same way
Expressing a wish for an assurance of emotional change.
This door ain't gonna close unless you slam it
The door won't close unless forcefully shut.
Make it hurt when you're ripping off the bandage
Pain is necessary when removing the emotional bandage.
Someones gotta do it and it won't be me
Someone needs to end it, and it won't be the speaker.
When you say it's over make me believe
When declaring it's over, make the speaker truly believe it.
That you mean it, that you're leaving
The importance of genuinely meaning and executing the breakup.
Cuz I'm gonna need a little help
Expressing a need for support during the difficult process.
This heart ain't gonna break itself
The heart won't break on its own; action is required.
We've been saying those 3 words but they lost their meaning
The three words "I love you" have lost their significance.
Feel like I'm waiting on you to give me a reason, it ain't a secret
Feeling like waiting for a reason to continue the relationship.
This ships going down, there's no saving us now
The relationship is deteriorating, and there's no saving it.
And goodbye just won't find its way out of my mouth
Difficulty in saying goodbye, a struggle to end the connection.
This door ain't gonna close unless you slam it
Reiteration that the door won't close without force.
Make it hurt when you're ripping off the bandage
Emphasizing the pain when ending things abruptly.
Someones gotta do it and it won't be me
Tasking someone else with the responsibility of ending it.
When you say it's over make me believe
Make the speaker truly believe it's over when declared.
That you mean it, that you're leaving
Emphasizing the sincerity and finality of leaving.
Cuz I'm gonna need a little help
Expressing the need for support during the challenging process.
This heart ain't gonna break itself
Reiterating that the heart won't break without external action.
Come on baby don't hold back and
An urging for the partner not to hold back emotionally.
Come on baby really do some damage
Encouragement to cause significant emotional damage.
Come on baby don't hold back and do some damage
Reiteration of the encouragement to not hold back and cause damage.
Do some damage
A call to action: to cause damage.
This door ain't gonna close unless you slam it
The door won't close without force, and the relationship won't end without a decisive action.
Won't go up in flames unless we strike the matches
The relationship won't end dramatically unless intentional actions are taken.
Someone's gotta do it and it won't be me
Assigning the responsibility of ending things to someone else.
When you say it's over make me believe
The need for genuine belief when declaring the end of the relationship.
That you mean it, that you're leaving
Reiterating the importance of sincerity and the finality of leaving.
Cuz I'm gonna need a little help
Expressing the need for support during the challenging process of separation.
This heart ain't gonna break itself
Reiterating that the heart won't break on its own; external actions are required.
