Lyrics

Verse 1

You told the whole room I'm the dangerous kind

Said I chew up boys and I spit out the rind

But every name you whisper was a name you left

I counted three before I ever met

Pre-Chorus

You point your finger

You play the victim

You wear your halo like a crown

Chorus

You call me the heartbreaker

The one with the wandering eye

You call me the heartbreaker

But baby I never made you cry

You wrote that story

You cast the role

You played the saint

I played the toll

Verse 2

Your friends all nod like they already knew

They never saw the side of you I do

You leave them softly

Then blame the goodbye

I hold the knife you handed me and sigh

Pre-Chorus

You twist the timeline

You flip the script

You sell the ending that you wrote

Chorus

You call me the heartbreaker

The one with the wandering eye

You call me the heartbreaker

But baby I never made you cry

You wrote that story

You cast the role

You played the saint

I played the toll

Bridge

Maybe I should thank you

For the lesson and the lie

Maybe I should warn the next girl

Before she wonders why

(Why, why)

Chorus

You call me the heartbreaker

The one who ruins it all

You call me the heartbreaker

But I wasn't the one who let it fall

You wrote that story

You cast the role

You played the saint

I played the toll

(You played the saint)

(I played the toll)

Post-Chorus

Na-na-na, na-na-na

Who broke who

Na-na-na, na-na-na

Wish I knew

Na-na-na, na-na-na

Ask yourself

Na-na-na, na-na-na

Who broke who
