Something Like a Heartbreak Lyrics

[Intro]
You don't deserve my love

[Verse 1]
I only wanted to show you
How to be a part of something
More than you were used to the bullshit
Guess I'm built different, still am

[Pre-Chorus]
At least I proved I had pure intentions
Wish I knew it was even worth it
'Cause you don't deserve my love (no, no, no, ay)
You don't, oh, and you never did

[Chorus]
I was really broken
Did you even know it that you played me like a token
Feel it in my stomach, something like a heartbreak
Thankful that you cracked me open
Now I'm finally growing
I'm another woman, holding onto hope, not hopeless
Felt it in my stomach, something like a heartbreak
Thankful that you cracked me open

[Verse 2]
I only wanted what's best for us
Kept it 'tween you and me, but our egos just messed it up
You ain't 'bout nothing, but games and the stress for us
Can't compete if you just want that empty lust, empty lust
[Chorus]
I was really broken (empty lust)
Did you even know it that you played me like a token
Feel it in my stomach, something like a heartbreak
Thankful that you cracked me open (Thankful that you cracked me open)
Now I'm finally growing
I'm another woman, holding onto hope, not hopeless
Felt it in my stomach, something like a heartbreak
Thankful that you cracked me open

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Feel it in my stomach, something like a heartbreak

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
