Break Into My Heart
Daughtry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I used to be so strong, how did I forget?
Has the world gone cold, have I lost my soul? Feel just like forever
Oh, now there is nothing
I just wanna feel something
So break into my heart
Let me feel the blood rush in
I need to feel the pain again
Tear it up and bruise it
Wreck it and abuse it
Let it cut beneath the skin
Break into my heart
And make me feel again
I spent most my life always chasing something
I wonder what it's like to have no regrets
Has the world gone blind, have I lost my mind, Lord, I can't remember
Oh, I just wanna feel something
So break into my heart
Let me feel the blood rush in
Break into my heart
I need to feel the pain again
Tear it up and bruise it
Wreck it and abuse it
Let it cut beneath the skin
Break into my heart
And make me feel again
Here I am bleeding, living and breathing
Looking for meaning, something to believe in
So break into my heart
Let me feel the blood rush in
Break into my heart
So break into my heart
Let me feel the blood rush in
Break into my heart
I need to feel the pain again
Tear it up and bruise it
Wreck it and abuse it
Let it cut beneath the skin
Break into my heart
And make me feel again
And make me feel again
So tear it up and bruise it
Wreck it and abuse it
Let it cut beneath the skin
Break into my heart
And make me feel again
The song Break Into My Heart by Daughtry is about the search for true connection, purpose and meaning in life. The lyrics describe a sense of numbness and disconnection from the world, a feeling of having lost something important, and a desire to experience genuine emotion again. Chris Daughtry sings about wanting someone or something to "break into" his heart and allow him to feel the blood rushing in again, to tear it up and bruise it, and to make him feel alive.
The song speaks to the human experience of seeking a deeper, more meaningful connection with ourselves and others. It acknowledges the pain and vulnerability that come with tearing down emotional barriers and allowing ourselves to feel deeply. The lyrics also touch on the idea of regret and the quest for purpose, with the lines "I spent most my life always chasing something, I wonder what it's like to have no regrets." The repeated plea to "break into my heart" serves as a powerful metaphor for the search for genuine connection and the willingness to allow ourselves to be vulnerable.

@smatthewsauthor
Chris - your full voice high pitch vibrato is unmatched by any current or past singer. Thank you for releasing new music. You should have won Idol and Masked Singer.
@Henry-cf4oo
Thank goodness he didn't win Idols, the contracts from some of these record labels don't seem to work for most artists.
@bobbo0616
For a guy who listens to Daughtry many times a week for the past several years, he was so easy to identify on masked singer. Canโt believe the judges didnโt recognize him, though sadly he hadnโt been mainstream for a decade.
@mythicalsurvivor
He could own both competitions if they could have seen what they had to begin with.
@sambayei1520
Dont forget that we have A Luke Combs, i challenge the two for a song
@cathyfigueroa9186
