“Heart Break Kid” is a love song Jay Joseph wrote for his girlfriend, Lauren Weygandt. He confirmed this in an Instagram post containing a picture of the two together and captioned it “HBK♥️.”
The title refers to Lauren, suggesting that her heart was broken before Jay came into her life, which seem...
[Chorus]
I may confuse it, with God's design
We're taking it slow, but you're on my mind
Don't have to look for me, don't have to dig
'Cause I want all my problems with the heart break kid
I may confuse it, with God's design
We're taking it slow, but you're on my mind
Don't have to look for me, don't have to dig
'Cause I want all my problems with the heart break kid
[Verse 1]
Yeah, we were both down and low
Never thought I had a wife living down the road
Had to write you a song to go
Farewell, that's fair, needed time to grow, but
Neighborhood girl and she knows that
Built so clean, only God could compose that
Kick so mean, windshield gonna go crack
Had to go leave, but you know I'm gonna come back
I think about you every day
When I'm hopping out the sheets, never hesitate
Gonna hit your phone up, need to medicate
I'd slap a ring on that finger, you said you'd wait, but
[Chorus]
I may confuse it, with God's design
We're taking it slow, but you're on my mind
Don't have to look for me, don't have to dig
'Cause I want all my problems with the heart break kid
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
The heart break kid
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
The heart break–
[Verse 2]
Heartbroken, but you never had me
And you couldn't talk past with your family
When I was your friend, used to think and pretend
We were sitting on the beach sipping slow on the brandy
But we were both down and low
Never thought I had a wife living down the road, yeah
Had to write you a song to go
Farewell, that's fair, needed time to grow (Yeah)
[Chorus]
I may confuse it, with God's design (Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
We're taking it slow but you're on my mind (The heart break kid)
Don't have to look for me, don't have to dig (Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
'Cause I want all my problems with the heart break kid
[Bridge]
I just had to go and switch up the key
'Cause I get so sad every time I leave
You've been working, you've been working 9-to-5
I'm working on my future, future bride
And baby, for a ring, I ain't got the bands
I hope you take this song as my advance
And I know that I went and slid
Down this hole for the heart break kid
[Outro]
(I didn't know how to finish this
I didn't know how to capture you in a sound
So I just, I took my, I took my hands and played a bunch of random notes on the synth
But I love you, baby)
I just had to go and switch up the key
'Cause I get so sad every time I leave
You've been working, you've been working 9-to-5
I'm working on my future, future bride
