[Chorus]
In the night, I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul to a woman so heartless..
How could you be so heartless?
Oh, how could you be so heartless?
How could you be so, cold as the winter wind when it breeze, yo
Just remember that you talkin' to me though
You know need to watch the way you talkin' to me, yo
I mean after all the things that we've been through
I mean after all the things we got into
Hey yo, I know of some things that you ain't told me
Hey yo, I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back and you goin' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend, well I got homies
But in the end it's still so lonely
[Chorus]
How could be so Dr. Evil, you bringin' out a side of me that I don't know
I decided we weren't goin' speak so
Why we up three A.M. on the phone
Why does she be so mad at me for
Homie I don't know, she's hot and cold
I won't stop, I won't mess my groove up
Cause I already know how this thing go
You run and tell your friends that you're leaving me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon' see
You'll never find nobody better than me
[Chorus]
Talkin', talkin', talkin', talk
Baby let's just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
So I got something new to see
And you just goin' keep hatin' me
And we just goin' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you can't make it right
I'm goin' take off tonight
Into the night
[Chorus]
In the night, I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul to a woman so heartless..
How could you be so heartless?
Oh, how could you be so heartless?
How could you be so, cold as the winter wind when it breeze, yo
Just remember that you talkin' to me though
You know need to watch the way you talkin' to me, yo
I mean after all the things that we've been through
I mean after all the things we got into
Hey yo, I know of some things that you ain't told me
Hey yo, I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back and you goin' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend, well I got homies
But in the end it's still so lonely
[Chorus]
How could be so Dr. Evil, you bringin' out a side of me that I don't know
I decided we weren't goin' speak so
Why we up three A.M. on the phone
Why does she be so mad at me for
Homie I don't know, she's hot and cold
I won't stop, I won't mess my groove up
Cause I already know how this thing go
You run and tell your friends that you're leaving me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon' see
You'll never find nobody better than me
[Chorus]
Talkin', talkin', talkin', talk
Baby let's just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
So I got something new to see
And you just goin' keep hatin' me
And we just goin' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you can't make it right
I'm goin' take off tonight
Into the night
[Chorus]

The lyrics to Heartless by Kanye West narrate the bitter ending of a relationship. She made mistakes, and so did he. However, she is willing to overlook her own decisions and hold him responsible for what he has done. She wants to make him pay, and is therefore looking to her friends and his old friends for support. They agreed to let things be, but they somehow still end up on the phone in the middle of the night arguing.
He wants to be able to end their relationship on a good note, but she is being so ``heartless'' that he is losing the desire to fix things. He tells her that he does not want to be enemies, and to stop turning to her friends because they only know the bad stories and not the special love that they did share.
He feels that he is being wronged, and while she thinks he is getting what he deserves, he is explaining that he is not going to stick around and be harassed by her and her friends. He will leave and be ``gone into the night'', and he is confident that in a few month's time, she will regret her actions because she is unable to find a better boyfriend than he was.
I fucking love KW b/c of all of the emotion he puts into his songs
This just totally describes the sentiments you have when you're over.. but everyone sort of knows it's not really over.. even if you are mortal enemies.
they say that they don�t see what you see in me
Wait a couple months then you gon see
you won�t find nobody better than me
@frozen yogurt- Same thing happened with me. My gal got so pissed at me (for no apparent reason) tht she left me. After 3 weeks she called me back saying she missed me :P . ya , with all tail between legs thingie n all included. :D
You run and tell your friends that you leavin me
they say that they don't see what you see in me
Wait a couple months then you gon see
you won't find nobody better than me
reminds me of my ex, he dumped me for someone else, then a few months later came running back with his tail between his legs (metaphorically of course) cause he decided he still needed me :P
