I got to say it and it's hard for me
You got me cryin' like I thought I would never be
Love is believin' but you let me down
How can I love you when you ain't around?
And I,
Get to the morning and you never call
Love should be everything or not at all
And it don't matter what ever you do
I made a life out of lovin' you
Only to find any dream that I follow is dying
I'm cryin' in the rain
I could be searchin' my world for a love everlasting
Feeling no pain, when will we meet again?
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker?
Is it a lesson that I never knew?
Gotta get out of the spell that I'm under
My love for you
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
When I was bein' what you want me to be?
Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by
This world may end, not you and I
My love is stronger than the universe
My soul is cryin' for you
And that can not be reversed
You made the rules and you could not see
You made a life out of hurtin' me
Out of my mind, I am held by the power of you love
Tell me when do we try, or should we say goodbye?
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
When I was bein' what you want me to be?
Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by
Oh, why do you have to be a heartbreaker?
Is it a lesson that I never knew?
Suddenly everything I ever wanted
My love for you, oh
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
When I was bein' what you want me to be?
Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by
You got me cryin' like I thought I would never be
Love is believin' but you let me down
How can I love you when you ain't around?
And I,
Get to the morning and you never call
Love should be everything or not at all
And it don't matter what ever you do
I made a life out of lovin' you
Only to find any dream that I follow is dying
I'm cryin' in the rain
I could be searchin' my world for a love everlasting
Feeling no pain, when will we meet again?
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker?
Is it a lesson that I never knew?
Gotta get out of the spell that I'm under
My love for you
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
When I was bein' what you want me to be?
Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by
This world may end, not you and I
My love is stronger than the universe
My soul is cryin' for you
And that can not be reversed
You made the rules and you could not see
You made a life out of hurtin' me
Out of my mind, I am held by the power of you love
Tell me when do we try, or should we say goodbye?
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
When I was bein' what you want me to be?
Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by
Oh, why do you have to be a heartbreaker?
Is it a lesson that I never knew?
Suddenly everything I ever wanted
My love for you, oh
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
When I was bein' what you want me to be?
Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by

A song about what happens when you make someone else you're total everything. Unfortunately, it can have catastrophic results - as it did in these lyrics. The writer treated the other person better than she do herself. Did everything to make the other person happy. Sounds like it should work. But it's not healthy. You must never look to someone else to complete you. You must enter into a relationship only as a whole person. Even at the end of the lyrics, the songwriter still has not reconciled why the other had to be a "heartbreaker." I hope the songwriter (and listeners who identify with these lyrics) enters their next relationship looking for balance and leave jaded emotions behind. There are lots of wonderful partners out there who are emotionally-healthy and capable of an unselfish, mature relationship. Keep the faith.
The songwriter was Barry Gibb, one of the best tunesmiths of all time, and I am fairly certain that he didn't need to experience every situation in every song in order to write great things like "Heartbreaker." But it's nice that you care so much, lyricalONE.
@lyricalONE Everyone gets their heartbroken at least once and that is what Barry was writing about.
