Heart in Your Heartbreak Lyrics
Take a look around when you're going down
Cuz you'll never feel so high
As when you hid in her arms in the sky and the world slept
And there's no use to say just how much it kills
When it still kills all the same
Every thought of her name like a hand to an open flame
Chorus
She was the heart in your heartbreak
She was the miss in your mistake
And no matter what you take,
you're never going to forget
She was the tear in a rainstorm
She was the promise that you would've sworn
And no matter what you say,
it's never gonna come back
An ambulance goes by, and you wonder why
It never stops when you want it to
It never stops when you need it to take you away
And your friends don't understand that the world could end,
And it would feel no worse than this
Every thought of the look in her eye
Like a cold California sky
Chorus
She was the heart in your heartbreak
She was the miss in your mistake
And no matter what you take,
you're never going to forget
She was the tear in a rainstorm
She was the promise that you would've sworn
And no matter what you say,
it's never gonna come back
guitar solo
And no matter what you pray,
It's never gonna take the pain away
And even if she'd stay you know it's wrong
And no matter what you pray,
it's never gonna take the pain away
Cuz even if she'd stay, you know she's gone
Cuz you'll never feel so high
As when you hid in her arms in the sky and the world slept
When it still kills all the same
Every thought of her name like a hand to an open flame
She was the heart in your heartbreak
She was the miss in your mistake
And no matter what you take,
you're never going to forget
She was the tear in a rainstorm
She was the promise that you would've sworn
And no matter what you say,
it's never gonna come back
It never stops when you want it to
It never stops when you need it to take you away
And it would feel no worse than this
Every thought of the look in her eye
Like a cold California sky
She was the heart in your heartbreak
She was the miss in your mistake
And no matter what you take,
you're never going to forget
She was the tear in a rainstorm
She was the promise that you would've sworn
And no matter what you say,
it's never gonna come back
It's never gonna take the pain away
And even if she'd stay you know it's wrong
And no matter what you pray,
it's never gonna take the pain away
Cuz even if she'd stay, you know she's gone

Love it. The lyrics are so simple, clever, and (no pun intended) heartbreaking... as most of their songs are.
How to dance to a tune about heartbreak :) LOVE IT !
Small thing, but it's 'STILL, your friends don't understand....' not 'And'.
This song has to be one of the greatest pop songs ever.
anyone have an idea what the last verse is supposed to mean?
Something along the lines of even if you got back with the girl, it could never go back to the way it used to be?
Perhaps I'm wrong, but I listen to 'it's gone' instead of 'she's gone'. It would make so much sense, since their love is gone because of his heartbreak.

The praying part is obvious so I'm not going to get into that but...

Means that you still like/love/lust (have feelings, whatever they may be) the girl but having been in a relationship with her (or having "had" her), you knew it was wrong. Likely because she wasn't emotionally there for one reason or another so the outcome of it not working out is inevitable ("you know she's gone")... Question: Why would you still "have feelings"? Answer: Cause she was...

Answer: Cause she was the best you'd ever had... and the song captures the idea of being hung up on her for a very very long time.
I think it means that the spark that was once between these two people is gone, but they both want to ignore the fact that it's gone and keep wishing that it would come back. They stay together even though there's nothing left for them as a couple. The pain will be there whether they're together or not, but they can't bear to actually let go of each other even though their love has gone.
