Breakin' At The Cracks Lyrics

I think you took my heart away
When you said you're leavin'
Cause right now I am hurting, all over again
And, I never thought that I'd be in this place, is this a mistake?
And now, I don't know how much more that I can take

I'm breakin' at the cracks
And everything goes black
It's another heart attack
And I can't handle that
Whoa...love, I need you back

I know that I'll get through this

I got my feet back on the ground, and I'm turning around
And I'll be everything you always said that I could be
If only you'd be waitin' right here for me, patiently

I'm breakin' at the cracks
And everything goes black
It's another heart attack
And I can't handle that
Whoa...love, I need you back

Oh never would I take it back
My heart was filled with love
And I, wipe these tears, and I will laugh
If only I could make it last
Make it last

I'm breakin' at the cracks
And everything goes black
It's another heart attack
And I can't handle that
Whoa...love, I need you back

I need you back
I need you back
I need you back
I need you back (I need you back)
I need you back (I need you back)
Love, I need you back
Love, I need you back
I need you back
I need you back

Cover art for Breakin' At The Cracks lyrics by Colbie Caillat

To me, this song's about a guy who's leaving this girl, probably his girlfriend that's why she's feeling so upset. This girl's feeling so hurt and is breaking even when her heart is cracked into a million pieces. The pieces of shattered heart are even breaking more.

The girl is hoping and wishing that the guy'd wait for her patiently instead of just leaving.

I think the missing line in the 2nd verse is: "I'm feeling stronger somehow"

I agree with lostdays, although it could be sung from a guy's perspective too. (Meaning the girl broke up with the guy.) In this song, it's the guy leaving, but could be reversed.

It hurts so much. The phrase breaking at the cracks. Like you cannot break anymore. Like you already broken only to be ripped apart.

What could be more painful than a heart attack. What could be more painful than a desperate plea to be everything that he wants as long as he's as you have him back. This song is the ultimate break up song.

When he left when you least expected, everything does go black. You cant see anything, no hope. The feelings overwhelming and you dont think you can handle it and you desperately hope that he'll be...
