Bringin' on the Heartbreak Lyrics
A broken rose with laughin' eyes
You're a mystery, always runnin' wild
Like a child without a home
You're always searching, searching for a feeling
That it's easy come and easy go
Oh I'm sorry but it's true
Takin' all the best of me, oh can't you see
You got the best of me, oh can't you see
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
Can't you see
Lady how you hold the key
Oh you're like a candle, your flame slowly fadin'
Burnin' out and burnin' me
Can't you see
Just try and say to you
Takin' all the best of me, oh can't you see
You got the best of me, oh can't you see
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
Can't you see, can't you see
No no no
You got the best of me, oh can't you see
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
don't hate mimi, i think she did a pretty good job with the cover, infact she got it RIGHT, the feeling is there. I love this song.
One of Def Leppard's best ballads. The way it blends into the next song, "Switch 625", on the album, "High N Dry", kicks ass.
Great song....I love how the guitars fit the song perfectly especially at the beginning
One of the best Ballads ive ever listened to. But not even close to being thier best song.
This is an amazing song. It made me sick when Mariah Carey covered it. Ugh. This is one their best early songs, IMO.
yeah that cover was bad....but anyways awesome song...
This is about a chick who is draining the guy. And it seems he is doing his best to make it work, but it isn't good enough for her. She's always looking for something more.
"I'm sorry, but it's true ... you're bringing on the heartache."
Does this mean she is bringing him heartache or she is bringing it upon herself for not seeing ("Can't you see ...") that he's giving her his best?
It's difficult for me to ascertain, now that I think about it, if this song is about a guy who's being drained by the relationship or a girl who's ruining the relationship on her own by pushing him away.
She's "like a candle," burning him and burning out at the same time. So, she's hurting her guy with the self-destructive behavior.
What do all of you think?
Well yes this song is a totally a classic; strong melody, phenomenal harmonies, just awesome...and apart from some of you I thought Mariah Carey's version ain't that bad for a hip-hop mix! She made it her own and I like that.
This is an all time classic ballad, and it sucks that Mariah had to ruin it. god some people should not do covers damn it!
It's funny you should say that Jason, cuz in the new Def Leppard album, Joe comments on mariah doing it that "Mariah Carey has also covered it... and about bloody time! It took 21 years for someone to do a proper cover of one of our songs. Apparently she was listening to "Vault" when she decided to go back into the studio and add it to her own already finished album. Because 'Bringin' on the Heartbreak' is the final track it suggests she listened right through to the end. That makes it hard to not say. God Bless Ya Girl" Lol but dats just joe's comments, I love this song ay, sux how they re did the video, tho the original was soo bad, I reckon this song is about sum1 hu's been through a real rough experience wit a girl, and now shes hurting him after
