I'll Only Break Your Heart Lyrics

I used to call you mystery
I wanted to play all the parts
Beware the one who calls for me
I'll only break your heart

The beginning's always beautiful
Like every brand new start
But in the end, when there's nothing left of you
I'll only break your heart

I want you with a harsh desire
I crave you in the night
But I'm here to warn you
You're not safe with me
I'll only break your heart

It scares me like my deepest confession
It haunts me like their pain
While everyone's looking for someone to love
I'll only break your heart

I fade like every summer leaf
I drift like the mind of a child
I never was meant to stay in one place
I only broke their hearts

I used to call you mystery
I wanted to play all the parts
Beware the one who calls for me
I'll only break your heart

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.
