"Break My Heart" lyrics

"Break My Heart"

Oh, loving you, it kills my courage
Oh, loving you, it takes my pride, yeah
Oh, wish I knew a way to cut this
And make it the last time for the last time

'Cause you've ruined the city for me, it only took one night
Hey yeah, I keep coming back and you know the reason why
You've ruined the city for me, so if you're gonna do it, do it right, yeah

If you're gonna break my heart, then do it right
Don't you leave me hanging on like the last time
Break my heart, then do it right
Oh, it's gonna burn without you
Oh, without you
Without you
Whoa, without you

Crack my head upon the pavement
Oh, always still come back for more, yeah
You gotta leave my heart vacant
Just paint the sign upon the door

'Cause you've ruined the city for me, it only took one night
Hey yeah, I keep coming back and you know the reason why
You've ruined the city for me, so if you're gonna do it, do it right
Oh

If you're gonna break my heart, then do it right
Don't you leave me hanging on like the last time
Break my heart, then do it right
Oh, it's gonna burn without you
Oh, without you
Yeah, without you
Whoa, without you

And oh, you're so cold, cold-blooded
When you got a hold, there's no one could stop it
Oh, you're so cold, cold-blooded
When you got a hold, there's no one could stop it

If you're gonna break my heart, then do it right
Don't you leave me hanging on like the last time
Break my heart, then do it right
Oh, it's gonna burn without you
Oh, without you
Yeah, without you
Whoa, without you

JC Stewart told Dork music magazine about this song in January 2021, "'Break My Heart' is big, fast and fun. It's about someone who can catch you so off guard that they can ruin a city for you and tear your life apart. But sometimes that can be addicting."
JC Stewart co-wrote this song with Niall Horan. Stewart explained to MTV Music, "I heard this snippet of this idea called 'Break My Heart' from a friend of mine. It was something that Niall Horan had. And I heard the song and I was like 'That's sick. And what's supposed to happen with that song?' They like, 'Nothing. Nothing.' I'm like, 'You're kidding me. What? Nothing? How about that's such a good song!' [...] So I took it. I took the chorus idea and then I just re-wrote the whole song around it." To finish the song, he communicated with Horan over Zoom.
