Backed by a shallow, electric pop/r&b beat produced by The Weeknd himself and frequent collaborator Oneohtrix Point Never, “Don’t Break My Heart” has the Weekend vocalizing about a woman who he describes as paralyzing and mesmerizing.
The lyrics in the tracks pre-chorus also interpolate The Weeknd’s November 2016 hit, “Die for You” released on his third studio album, Starboy.
Lyrics of Don't Break My Heart
Ooh (I'm paralyzed)
Ooh
Ooh (let's go)
I see you drowning in the purple lights
Diamonds shining bright
I see every ice on you (on you)
You snatch my soul, I'm crucified
I feel paralyzed
I'm so mesmerized by you (by you)
But I know you're right for me, ecstasy
I keep coming back for more
I think that you would die for me, destiny
And this time, I know for sure
Just don't break my heart (don't break my heart)
Don't let me down, please
Don't you break my heart (don't break my heart)
I don't know if I can take it anymore
Take it anymore, take it anymore
I can't take another heart break or I'll end it all
And the girl I used to love
We broke up in the club
And I almost died in the discotheque
And now, I know she wasn't right for me, enemy
I kept coming back for more
I'd rather you would die for me, destiny
And this time, I know for sure
Just don't break my heart (don't break my heart)
Don't let me down, please
Don't you break my heart (don't break my heart)
I don't know if I can take it anymore
Don't break my heart (don't you, don't you)
I'm falling apart already
Don't you break my heart (don't you, don't you)
I don't know if I can take it anymore
I believe the liquor's talking
I just need the room to stop and
I could be the one you want
Just as long as you don't break my heart
And I realized when I kissed your neck
That the room is hot
I can taste your sweat
It's just you and I in the discotheque
But don't you worry
Just don't break my heart (don't break my heart)
Don't let me down, please
Don't you break my heart (don't break my heart)
I don't know if I can take it anymore
Don't break my heart (don't you, don't you)
I'm falling apart already
Don't you break my heart (don't you, don't you)
I don't know if I can take it anymore
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
