Heartbreaker Lyrics

Although this probably isn't the actual definition, this song reminds me of a situation I'm in- my best friend is in a relationship with a girl who's a total bitch, and he's been sort of neglecting me for her. We only get close again when she cheats on him or something, but he always goes running back to her. I really miss my friend and I hate her for treating him like shit when he's worth so much more than that.

So these lyrics fit pretty perfectly: "the girl's no good for me and you she hurts me too"

"but in my eyes she's done us wrong enough times for you to side with me"

spacexoddity I agree with you 100%. I am in the exact same situation and my best friend always comes to me when his girlfriend treats him badly. These lyrics make it seem as if this happens to the character in the song time and time again, meaning he's always there for his friend, and she's no good for the both of them because she's a bad girlfriend but she's also no good for the character because he's sick of seeing his friend like this. The moment I heard this song, I could totally relate to it.

And also he has yet to see her good qualities so how can he have been cheating with her? It seems like an excuse his friend gives as to why he's still with her. Also in the music video it seems like they're trying to cheer him up, like they usually do, i.e. back to the start again

I think that you're right. Especially the bit where he goes "but in my eyes she's done US wrong"
