Following the release of “Raincatchers” last month, “Heartbreaker” is the second offering from Birdy’s forthcoming album, Portraits.
Portraits follows the 2021 release of Young Heart and is her fifth studio album, which comes 12 years after her self-titled debut.
Birdy – Heartbreaker Lyrics
Eh oh eh oh
Eh oh eh oh
Eh oh eh oh
Eh oh eh oh
Feel like I’ve been reading you wrong
And we’ve tilted from where we started
If someone’s gunna let go
It’s me that’s gotta let go
I’m damned if I do, gunna be damned if I don’t
Eh oh eh oh
Eh oh eh oh
You say one more dance and I always give in
(I don’t know what I’m doing)
(I don’t know what I’m doing)
I’m falling in your arms trying to save everything
(I don’t know what I’m doing)
(I don’t know what I’m doing)
Heartbreaker
It was over right from the start
Heartbreaker
And nothing’s ever gunna be enough
Heartbreaker
I wanted you to be but you’re not
Eh oh eh oh
Eh oh eh oh
Been too long, too long holding on
To this blindfold hoping and praying
We both know the truth is
We’re already losing
Damned if I do, gunna be damned if I don’t
Eh oh eh oh
Eh oh eh oh
You say one more dance and I always give in
(I don’t know what I’m doing)
(I don’t know what I’m doing)
I’m falling in your arms trying to save everything
(I don’t know what I’m doing)
(I don’t know what I’m doing)
Heartbreaker
It was over right from the start
Heartbreaker
And nothing’s ever gunna be enough
Heartbreaker
I wanted you to be but you’re not
Heartbreaker (Eh oh eh oh, eh oh eh oh…)
Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker (Illusions only last for so long)
Heartbreaker (I wanted you to be but you’re not, but you’re not)
