All Hail The Heartbreaker Lyrics

I had the notion that you'd make me change my ways
My bad habits would be gone in a matter of days
I had the feeling that you'd open up my eyes
to a whole new world that had since been in disguise

But that day will most likely never come for me
And it's just my luck to end up getting stuck
to everything you are

So tonight I'll sit and pick apart your pictures
and overanalyze your words
The truth is that I've never fallen so hard
It's takin' everything in me
just to forget your sweater so far

I had the notion that you'd make me forget the world
But your undecisive mind shows me that you are "just another girl"
I had the feeling that those looks you gave me were real
What if I ripped your heart apart at the seams
maybe then you'd know how I feel

But that day will most likely never come for me
and it's just my luck to end up getting stuck
to everything you are

So tonight I'll sit and pick apart your pictures
and overanalyze your words
The truth is that I've never fallen so hard
It's takin' everything in me
just to forget your sweater so far

I can honestly say
that I never, ever, ever felt this way
Your lips, your eyelashes, your skin
These are the parts of your body
that cause my comatose to begin

I will sleep another day
I don't really need to anyway
What's the point when my dreams are infected
with words you used to say
I will breathe in a moment
As long as I keep my distance
I wouldn't want to go messing anything up

So don't go worrying about me
It's not like I think about this constantly
So maybe I do, but that shouldn't
affect your life anymore
I knew it the moment you walked into the door

So don't go worrying about me
It's not like I think about you constantly
So maybe I do, but that shouldn't
affect your life anymore
I knew it the moment you walked into the door

I'll let you get the best of me (I'll let you get the best of me)
'cause there's nothing else that I do well
I'll let you get the best of me (I'll let you get the best of me)
'cause there's nothing else that I do well
I'll be the giver and you'll be the taker
I guess that's how this one's gonna go
I'll be the giver and you'll be the taker
You've got me down on my knees and I proclaim
"All hail the heartbreaker"

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I like to listen to this song sometimes but I kind of don't like it. A lot of it seems cliche. I don't like the line about forgetting her sweater. I don't like the misuse of the word comatose.
