Meaning of “Break My Heart Right” by James Bay
“Break My Heart Right” is a love song, with James Bay playing the role of one of the participants in this romance and singing to the other. And it is clear that this relationship has its fair share of dilemmas. In fact it would appear that breakups are regular occurrences between the two of them. However, Bay is not discouraged from loving his partner. Rather it would seem that despite these issues, he is more-resolute towards loving her than ever.
Indeed even when she does break his heart, she ‘breaks his heart right’. Or as James puts it, he prefers “real love, not pretend”. So what this all boils down to is apparently the artist’s willingness to go through the emotional turmoil which often accompanies such deep romances in the name of the relationship being more-fulfilling in the long run.
