Are You Gonna Break My Heart? Lyrics

So are you gonna break my heart?
Are you gonna rip my world apart?
Are we gonna do this now? I don't have all day.

Come on and get the scissors out
Show me what love is all about
Do it fast and painful, just like always.

Come on I've gotta rock and roll
We don't need to list the things you stole
Use your fingernails or use a tool
You're a beautiful woman with a job to do

So go, just go ahead and say the words
I can' tell you how many times I've heard
Those same words repeated to me anyway

There's a boat on the open sea
It's just perfect for someone like me
Who doesn't care where he's going, as long as it's far away

If you ever got to use your heart
You wouldn't even know where to start
So let me put your mind to rest
It's a useless antique tucked away in the chest

So are you gonna break mine in half?
Are you gonna walked away and laugh?
I'm a very busy man, and money is time

So I'm thinking that your time is up
I'm at the bottom of this coffee cup
I'll just break it myself and that should be fine

We Should Fight

So are you gonna break my heart?
Are you gonna rip my world apart?
Are we gonna do this now? I don't have all day.

Come on and get the scissors out
Show me what love is all about
Do it fast and painful, just like always.

Come on I've gotta rock and roll
We don't need to list the things you stole
Use your fingernails or use a tool
You're a beautiful woman with a job to do

So go, just go ahead and say the words
I can' tell you how many times I've heard
Those same words repeated to me anyway

There's a boat on the open sea
It's just perfect for someone like me
Who doesn't care where he's going, as long as it's far away

If you ever got to use your heart
You wouldn't even know where to start
So let me put your mind to rest
It's a useless antique tucked away in the chest

So are you gonna break mine in half?
Are you gonna walked away and laugh?
I'm a very busy man, and money is time

So I'm thinking that your time is up
I'm at the bottom of this coffee cup
I'll just break it myself and that should be fine

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.
