Ultima nailed my thoughts almost exactly! The girl in this song is drawn to what she can't have, whilst she leaves the nice guy hanging, who she knows is wrapped around her little finger “she knew that she could have you”.
However this is where mine differs a bit. I think the "break apart her heart" and getting the girls by breaking some hearts, refers to changing your approach. Instead of being the nice guy, it means moving on, ignoring her, not bothering to ring or write anymore, make it obvious that you’re getting out of her control. Show her that you're over her and she's lost her hold on you and instantly, she'll want that hold back “Well if you want to be noticed you gotta learn to break some hearts”. Go out, have some fun with other girls, break some hearts, she'll see that you're a hard person to hold down and instantly the girl will want what she cant have; you!
At the end of the song he finally realises how this game is played and how sad it is...
This song really clicked with me, pretty much because I went through the exact same thing. Meet girl, relationship starts up, nice guy treating her right = her gradually ignoring calls in favour of someone "challenging". I think screw this and move on, guess who's ringing and knocking on my door less than 2 weeks after I start hanging out with another girl :-). Selfish and sad, but I guess that’s how some people work.
