Cover art for Breaking Hearts lyrics by James Vincent McMorrow

This song is about a persons internal struggles with a relationship that they are no longer committed to. The person is thinking and has been thinking of leaving the relationship. They are trying to becoming brave by fantasizing about how they are going to do it and its potential outcome. Still comfort of the relationship is drawing the individual back to its safety. This was once a loving relationship has meaning to the individual. So in the event the person stays or leaves, hearts will be broken.
