This song was written in the summer of 2015. It's about how hard it can be on the people around me when I hold them to the same level of integrity which I do myself. Which is to tell the truth or shut up.
lyrics
HEARTBREAKER
Look me in the eye and tell me that lie one more time
What can I do? But tell you the truth? And it's gonna hurt.
I don't like it any more than you do but that doesn't change it.
We all mess up now and then in and in real life you can't erase it.
If you wanna be with me well now's your chance to fess and face it.
Cause I don't wanna be that girl
and I dont wanna be your
and I don't wanna be a...
Heartbreaker.
Wouldn't it be sweet if we could be free from all this mess.
But the truth that I know isn't gonna go away cause you asked.
I don't like it any more than you do but that doesn't change it.
We all mess up now and then in and in real life you can't erase it.
If you wanna be with me well now's your chance to fess and face it.
Cause I don't wanna be that girl
and I dont wanna be your
and I don't wanna be a...
Heartbreaker.
