Lyrics
Yeah
Expressing affirmation or agreement
Morning came and I was on my way
Describing the start of the day and the beginning of a journey
When you reminded me
Someone reminded the speaker of something important
I had too soon forgotten
Acknowledging a past mistake or oversight
It was you that set me free
Credit given to someone for providing freedom
Yeah, you were here when I came
Recalling a presence when the speaker arrived
You'll be here when I'm gone
Expectation of continued presence even after departure
So don't be waiting on love
Advising against waiting for love
'Cause I'll be waiting to ramble on
Expressing the speaker's readiness to move on
Headed for a heartbreak
Anticipation of emotional pain or disappointment
Headed for a heartbreak
Reiteration of the expectation of heartbreak
Darling, don't wait up for me
Requesting not to wait for the speaker
Tonight I won't be home
Indicating the speaker won't be returning home tonight
You've become a stranger
Perception of the partner becoming a stranger
I just got to be alone
Expressing the need for solitude
Don't need nobody on my side
Affirmation of independence, not needing support
To dull the blade I'm on
Metaphorically describing the challenging path the speaker is on
So don't be waiting on love
Reiterating advice against waiting for love
'Cause I'll be waiting to ramble on
Revealing the speaker's intention to keep moving forward
Headed for a heartbreak
Repetition of the anticipation of heartbreak
Headed for a heartbreak
Repetition of the expectation of heartbreak
Headed for a heartbreak
-It's not a mistake
Denial of a mistake, asserting awareness of pain
Don't you think I can feel the pain?
Insisting on the ability to feel emotional pain
I walk away, to live again
Choosing to walk away for the chance of a new life
Headed for a heartbreak
Reiteration of the anticipation of heartbreak
Headed for a heartbreak (Don't make me hurt you)
Reiteration of the expectation of heartbreak with a plea not to cause harm
Headed for a heartbreak ('Cause I love you)
Reiteration of the expectation of heartbreak, expressing love
Headed for a heartbreak
Final repetition of the anticipation of heartbreak
