Bruno Mars - tear me down

화자는 과거 연인과의 추억이 여전히 그를 괴롭히며, 새로운 사랑을 찾으려 애쓰지만 마음이 상해 있다는 복잡한 감정을 표현하고 있다
결국 사랑의 희망 대신 고통이 남아 있다

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now (bigger now)
Our song on the radio but it don’t sound the same (sound the same)
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down (tear me down)
Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
You just tear me down
Look upon my face and all you see’s a fucking frown
I try to get away, but every turn you are around
I thought I was a king until you broke my starry crown
Uh huh, and you’re the one that got away
Said you want some fun, well motherfucker I don’t play
I bet you throw me out up at the end of the day
So let’s just get it on, you could just call me Marvin Gaye
And when I took you out to dinner
We orderin’ filets, you got me feeling like a winner
I can tell you right now thaf I ain’t no beginner
Cause at the end of the night, imma be up in her
And now we’re sat upon my bed
Watching Jeffrey Dahmer while she’s ‘bout to give me head
I love this fucking girl, and maybe one day we’ll be wed
But that ain’t gonna happen cause my heart is fucking dead
