Heartless
Diplo feat. Morgan Wallen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Heartless
So heartless
Say you goin' out late
I count down 'til you call me
It's just one of those things
That you do when you're lonely
And you're all about the chase
And I wish I was the same
But I know I'm gonna let you
Win again and when I do
It's gonna hurt like Hell
And you don't mean to
That's what I tell myself
But why you gotta be so heartless?
I know you think it's harmless
You're tearing me apart and
Girl, the hardest part is
You're so high on attention
You're taking miles from inches
Leave me in the darkness
Never finish what we started
Girl, why you gotta be so heartless?
Why you gotta be so heartless?
Look, Monday night was definitely not our night
Tuesday night was just another fight
Wednesday, I thought everything would change
Thursday came and it was still the same
Friday night, we went out on the town
Saturday, we should have burned it down
Sunday morning came and now you're gone
I should probably know this shit by now
Ah, oh
I should probably know this shit by now
But no, no
Why you gotta be so heartless?
I know you think it's harmless
You're tearing me apart and
Girl, the hardest part is
You're so high on attention
You're taking miles for inches
Leave me in the darkness
Never finish what we started
Girl, why you gotta be so heartless?
Why you gotta be so heartless?
Girl, why you gotta be so in between
Loving me and leaving, leaving?
Ah, oh
I should probably know this shit by now
But no, no
Why you gotta be so heartless?
I know you think it's harmless
You're tearing me apart and
Girl, the hardest part is
You're so high on attention
You're taking miles for inches
Leave me in the darkness
Never finish what we started
Girl, why you gotta be so heartless?
Why you gotta be so heartless?
Why you gotta be so heartless?
Girl, why you gotta be so heartless?

Line by Line Meaning
Say you goin' out late
You tell me you'll be out late
I count down 'til you call me
I anxiously wait for your call as I count the seconds
It's just one of those things
Going out late when lonely is typical for you
That you do when you're lonely
Being lonely drives you to go out late
And you're all about the chase
You crave the chase of new attention
But you won't ever let me catch you
You don't want me to catch you, you just want to keep chasing
And I wish I was the same
I wish I didn't care so much about catching you
But I know I'm gonna let you
I know I will fall for you again
Win again and when I do
When I fall for you again, you will win
It's gonna hurt like Hell
My heart will break when you win again
And you don't mean to
You don't intend to hurt me
That's what I tell myself
But I lie to myself that you don't mean to hurt me
But why you gotta be so heartless?
Why do you have to be so cruel and unfeeling?
I know you think it's harmless
You believe your behavior is harmless
You're tearing me apart and
Your actions are breaking my heart
Girl, the hardest part is
The most difficult part is dealing with your heartlessness
You're so high on attention
You crave attention more than anything else
You're taking miles from inches
You take more than you give in the relationship
Leave me in the darkness
You leave me feeling sad and alone
Never finish what we started
We can't seem to complete what we begin
Look, Monday night was definitely not our night
Things were bad last Monday
Tuesday night was just another fight
Tuesday, we argued again
Wednesday, I thought everything would change
I hoped things would get better on Wednesday
Thursday came and it was still the same
However, Thursday was still bad
Friday night, we went out on the town
Friday, we went out to have fun
Saturday, we should have burned it down
Saturday, we should have had a wild night
Sunday morning came and now you're gone
You left on Sunday morning
I should probably know this shit by now
I should have learned by now
Girl, why you gotta be so in between
Why can't you decide if you love me or not?
Loving me and leaving, leaving?
You can't decide between staying with me or leaving
