Breaking Hearts Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You went cold
You got caught
You exceeded my darkest thoughts
A poisoned chalice found in my side
I'm so numb from your lies
[Chorus]
While you were busy breaking hearts
I was busy breaking
I was giving all my love, you were busy taking
Summer haze of summer wine
Reminded me of better times
But I let you in my heart
So, now it's busy breaking
Now it's busy breaking, oh
[Verse 2]
Went so far down this road
I felt depression deep in my soul
Drug-fuelled fights, ride your lows and highs
We played it all out 'til we died
[Chorus]
Whilе you were busy breaking hеarts
I was busy breaking
I was giving all my love, you were busy taking
Summer haze of summer wine
Reminded me of better times
But I let you in my heart
So now it's busy breaking
[Brigde]
Ooh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
While you were busy breaking hearts
I was busy breaking
I was giving all my love, you were busy taking
Summer haze of summer wine
Reminded me of better times
But I let you in my heart
But I let you in my heart
Why'd I let you in my heart?
'Cause now it's busy breaking
You went cold
You got caught
You exceeded my darkest thoughts
A poisoned chalice found in my side
I'm so numb from your lies
While you were busy breaking hearts
I was busy breaking
I was giving all my love, you were busy taking
Summer haze of summer wine
Reminded me of better times
But I let you in my heart
So, now it's busy breaking
Now it's busy breaking, oh
Went so far down this road
I felt depression deep in my soul
Drug-fuelled fights, ride your lows and highs
We played it all out 'til we died
Whilе you were busy breaking hеarts
I was busy breaking
I was giving all my love, you were busy taking
Summer haze of summer wine
Reminded me of better times
But I let you in my heart
So now it's busy breaking
Ooh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, oh, oh, oh
While you were busy breaking hearts
I was busy breaking
I was giving all my love, you were busy taking
Summer haze of summer wine
Reminded me of better times
But I let you in my heart
But I let you in my heart
Why'd I let you in my heart?
'Cause now it's busy breaking

This stand out track is off Sam Smith's latest studio album titled 'Love Goes'. It was produced by frequent collaborator Jimmy Napes and released on October 30, 2020.
What the artist means Sam Smith is showing off his range on this track as he reminds everyone just how good he remains. He's singing about the lies that his lover told him and just how badly they affected his psyche, he's sounding like a real diva on this track as he uses his voice in so many different ways. He felt depression deep in his soul and he can't understand how and why he fell so hard. He was busy giving all his love, while his lover was way too busy taking him for granted. He sounds super hurt and frankly white detached from the entire concept of love, heartbreak is truly a bad thing and even the biggest of stars aren't immune to this.
What the song means to me The song left Sam wondering why he let his lover into his heart and this is a sentiment shared with so many hurt lovers all around the world after a break-up. The only difference is that he used the pain so expertly to make an undeniable anthem. He's sounding spontaneous yet focused on this one, hardly have I heard a break-up anthem so focused for the past decade. The track makes me feel stronger about love, even if it doesn't end well, that doesn't mean I can't create some magic! I will give this song a rating of 10/10.
