Bringin' on the Heartbreak Lyrics

Cover art for Bringin' on the Heartbreak lyrics by Def Leppard

This is about a chick who is draining the guy. And it seems he is doing his best to make it work, but it isn't good enough for her. She's always looking for something more.

"I'm sorry, but it's true ... you're bringing on the heartache."

Does this mean she is bringing him heartache or she is bringing it upon herself for not seeing ("Can't you see ...") that he's giving her his best?

It's difficult for me to ascertain, now that I think about it, if this song is about a guy who's being drained by the relationship or a girl who's ruining the relationship on her own by pushing him away.

She's "like a candle," burning him and burning out at the same time. So, she's hurting her guy with the self-destructive behavior.

What do all of you think?
