Deeper Meaning of “Break My Heart” by Dua Lipaĭua Lipa’s “Break My Heart” is about vulnerability and love.

She wonders if he has the same thoughts and feelings that she does. Two can play that game, but you win me every time I wonder, when you go, if I stay on your mind Because of the intensity and depth of her connection with him, she asks herself if she’s falling in love with someone who could truly break her heart. Now, there’s “no letting go,” which makes her feel vulnerable.

She’s “had to love and lose” romantic partners many times in the past. She sets the scene by letting us know that this isn’t her first relationship. I hope I'm not the only one that feels it all I'm indecisive, but, this time, I know for sure You say my name like I have never heard before Had to get it wrong to know just what I like Had to love and lose a hundred million times I've always been the one to say the first goodbye Sp when this post refers to Dua Lipa, it is only in the context of what she is singing in the lyrics.)
