Lyrics for Heartless as interpreted by VerminElder

Heartless Lyrics
For once my eyes are open to you,
and everything you’ve said.
For once your web of lies is in the open.
I gave you everything I had, until I had nothing left.
Now you act as if I’m just a burden.
I’ve finally let go.

Let go! Let go!

Stay silent at least for now, and let me move on.
'Cause I’m so done,
playing these games,
with my heart
Been around the world and back for you, and now its time to choose.

I’ve been swallowed by this wreck that you call your life.
I’m damaged from the inside,
I’ve been broken.
Don’t threaten me with what you think I feel.
If you could read my mind you’d be in tears.

I’m sick of the excuses you hold above me.
I’ve finally come to terms with what I am.
I’m nothing in your eyes, and this will not change.
I’m living in a dream.

Stay silent at least for now, and let me move on.
'Cause I’m so done,
playing these games,
with my heart.
Been around the world and back for you, and now its time to choose.

And I’ll close my eyes, and dream of a better time
when I’m finally past this and happy on my own.
I’ve done all I can, and I’ve still been cast aside.
All I ever wanted to be was be the one who would wipe those tears from your eyes.
But I guess I’ll play second best, to a world that will never care about you.
When will you understand to them you’re just another pretty face?
You’ll tell me that you care, and then run straight back to him.
I can hear your voice of treason from a mile away.

You never did know how to whisper.

Truth!
You're such a liar,
tell me the truth!
You're such a liar,
tell me the truth!

You're such a liar,
Tell me the truth!
You're such a liar,
Tell me the truth!
Do the world a favour,
stop cutting your arms and slit your throat.

"stop cutting your arms and slit your throat."

that shit right there is TIGHT!!
thats what emo kids should go and do if they want to look for attection

the song is deff about a girl that is screwin up the relationship and Jeremy (lead singer) wants to get out of it. so he wants her to tell the truth to him and no more lies but she keeps on telling him lies and he gets fed up cause he keeps on catching her. when he does catch her, she runs to the knife.

Well, Mr. CKwillburn. What exactly do you think they try to portray. Every song A Day To Remember has is nothing but complaining and girls, and fake friends, and fans. Do emo kids directly affect your life? Porbably not, im sure no one goes and grabs your shoulder to cry on. Now, A Day To Remember is great when you are in the mood, but to pun emo kids in your comment, especially to this song which is as emo as it gets lyrically. So yeah, you may not like emo, but its everywhere, realzie it. I predominantly agree that emo kids can be annoying, but A Day To Remember is pretty damn close.

hahaha someone had a bug in their coffee.
ADTR isn't emo, if they are then EVERYONE is emo, because when you write a friggin song, you have to have some feeling the fan can relate to.
duh.

Just because a band's songs are about girls doesn't mean they are emo. A Day To Remember is more a cross of pop-punk with hardcore. They are anything but emo and are fucking amazing live.

The remake to this song is so amazing, this song is exactly about a girl who claims to be inlove with Jeremy but does not know how to control herself constantly messing around with his heart leaving him for someone else and running back to him.

I'm laughing at all your guys comments right now, emo is just a stupid phase that us teens sometimes go through they will get over it.. I did because I realized I looked like a retard and sounded like one too.

Okay I'm bad with lyrics kinda because I always know what it is but then I end up being wrong =]
Okay, so I think that this song is pretty much about how Jeremy went out with this girl. And she is either running back to one of her ex's that she is still in love with. (Kinda made me think that after he said "You’ll tell me that you care, and then run straight back to him.") OR it just could be that they broke up and Jeremy is just hertbroken and she runs back to her ex but then she runs back to Jeremy and is pretty much fucking with his heart. She thinks she can have both of them...... but she cant =]

Im probably wrong as fuck but the lyrics kinda relate to my story in BOTH ways taht I described it so I pretty much also told a story of my life =D

"If you could read my mind you’d be in tears."
wow.

adtr is the best band in the world, i love this song, but i'm not sure if its my fav. hahaa all of their songs are amazing [= and they are awesome live. i wish they would make more music vids, they only have 2.

AND STOP FUCKING LABELING.
i hate that shit, i mean i can understand GENRES
but that is completely different.
ADTR is pop punk/hardcore.
NOT "emo"
i wish that word/label didnt exist, however kids do label themselves as 'emo' for attention.

it was said that emo is short for emotional hardcore music which was later transformed into a style such as punk, but eh...
idk i just hate it. stop labeling, just because someone does have emotions that doesnt make him EMO it makes them HUMAN

You're such a liar,

You're such a liar,

You fucking liar,
Tell me the truth!

cut you arms and slit your throat.

I think it's about dating a girl and trying to be there for her but then getting fucked over and having her go to an asshole that only cared anout her appearance.
