About The Only Heartbreaker

"The Only Heartbreaker" is about the fear of vulnerability and intimacy in relationships. The speaker wants to avoid being the one who is hurt, so they wish that their partner would make a mistake to ease their anxiety. However, the speaker acknowledges that as long as they are together, they will likely be the one to cause the end of the relationship. The repetition of the line "I'll be the only heartbreaker" emphasizes the speaker's sense of guilt and resignation. .

The Only Heartbreaker Lyrics

[00:07.32] If you would just make one mistake
[00:12.06]
[00:14.99] What a relief that would be
[00:19.53] But I think for as long as we're together
[00:26.15] I'll be the only heartbreaker
[00:32.44] I'll be the only heartbreaker
[00:39.13]
[00:45.18] I'll be the only heartbreaker
[00:51.68]
[00:58.03] So I'll be the loser in this game
[01:04.62] I'll be the bad guy in the play
[01:10.64] I'll be the water main that's burst and flooding
[01:16.90] You'll be by the window, only watchin'
[01:21.92]
[01:29.48] I'll be the only heartbreakеr
[01:36.03]
[01:42.27] I'll be the only heartbrеaker
[01:48.54]
[02:18.22] (I apologize)
[02:19.44] (You forgive me)
[02:20.72] (I apologize)
[02:22.62] (You forgive me)
[02:23.49] And make me the only heartbreaker
[02:29.67]
[02:35.91] So I'll be the only heartbreaker
[02:40.60]
