A song about what happens when you make someone else you're total everything. Unfortunately, it can have catastrophic results - as it did in these lyrics. The writer treated the other person better than she do herself. Did everything to make the other person happy. Sounds like it should work. But it's not healthy. You must never look to someone else to complete you. You must enter into a relationship only as a whole person. Even at the end of the lyrics, the songwriter still has not reconciled why the other had to be a "heartbreaker." I hope the songwriter (and listeners who identify with these lyrics) enters their next relationship looking for balance and leave jaded emotions behind. There are lots of wonderful partners out there who are emotionally-healthy and capable of an unselfish, mature relationship. Keep the faith.
The songwriter was Barry Gibb, one of the best tunesmiths of all time, and I am fairly certain that he didn't need to experience every situation in every song in order to write great things like "Heartbreaker." But it's nice that you care so much, lyricalONE.

@lyricalONE Everyone gets their heartbroken at least once and that is what Barry was writing about.
