Heartbreaker Lyrics
When I look in the mirror I'm not as young as I used to be
I'm not quite as beautiful as when you were next to me
And all the times that I've tried to go to see if you might be there
I will never get over you, I still got a lock of your hair
Cause when I said that I loved you honey
I knew it from the very start
And when I said that I loved you honey
I knew that you would break my heart
But why
There's a voice in the back of my head that says you're always going to be alone
Go turn the tv on, turn off the telephone
Cause all the times that I've tried to go out and find somebody new
You make me wish you would just come back home
I'm not quite as beautiful as when you were next to me
And all the times that I've tried to go to see if you might be there
I will never get over you, I still got a lock of your hair
I knew it from the very start
And when I said that I loved you honey
I knew that you would break my heart
But why
Go turn the tv on, turn off the telephone
Cause all the times that I've tried to go out and find somebody new
You make me wish you would just come back home

"There's a voice in the back of my head that says you're always going to be alone / Go turn the tv on and turn off the telephone."
It's a line like this that reminds me why I have developed such a deep appreciation for what Owens and company are doing musically. The truly amazing thing about them, really, is that there are obvious influences (at least to me)--The Beach Boys, Morrissey, Harry Nilsson, to submit a few--but there is something about Christopher's voice, his sincerity, that is completely singular. They have expressed, in this song and others, ideas that make the back of my neck tingle with recognition. Keep up the good work guys.
