Heartbreaker Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I have no business asking you the words
I know the reason you exaggerate
I know the answers to all your demands
I have no secrets

[Chorus]
I'm not your heartbreaker
Some tender ballad player
I'm not your heartbreaker


[Verse 2]
These are the good years
The best we'll ever know
These golden light-years


[Chorus]
I'm not your heartbreaker
Some tender ballad player
I'm not your heartbreaker

[Bridge]
You know I'm hopeless
Oh no, no you're wrong
It's not the singer
It's the song

You know I'm helpless
Oh no, no you're wrong
It's not the singer
It's the song
[Verse 3]
On these short days
Like the Chinese stars
Let's dance in our uniforms

These are the good years
The best we'll ever know
These golden light-years

[Chorus]
I'm not your heartbreaker
Some tender ballad player
I'm not your heartbreaker
I'm not your heartbreaker
Some tender ballad player
I'm not your heartbreaker
I'm not your heartbreaker

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
