As the song title suggests, this song is about relationship heartbreaks and trying to overcome/forget about them. Josh also has suicidal thoughts while dealing with heartache.
Heartbreaks was later revealed to be the first single from Save Our Souls, the fifth collaborative project between Josh and...
[Chorus: Josh A]
I don't think that I'll be fine
Every time I try, I just want to die, and
All the things I gave you, couldn't buy you what you needed
So tell me, why I can't be there for you?
Even though I was never there for you
Why I can't be there for you?
Even though I was never there for you
[Verse 1: Josh A]
You want me, I want you
But I just can't be there for you
So pack my bags, I'll never look back
The prettiest girls can't erase you, oh
'Bout to light the match, I'm burning everything
But no matter all that I get rid of, I still feel the pain
I've been losing sleep like every night
Nothing's ever going right
Without you by my side, I don't even want to try
[Pre-Chorus: Josh A]
Heartbreaks every time I see your face now
Heartbreaks, I don't want all of this pain
Heartbreaks every time I see your face now
Heartbreaks, I don't want all of this pain
[Chorus: Josh A]
I don't think that I'll be fine
Every time I try, I just want to die, and
All the things I gave you, couldn't buy you what you needed
So tell me, why I can't be there for you?
Even though I was never there for you
Why I can't be there for you?
Even though I was never there for you
[Verse 2: Jake Hill]
I didn't mean to waste your time, I swear
And I've been looking for a heart but nothing's there
I don't know why I'm like this
Always undecided, locked inside the vice I provided
Heart aches every time I hear her name now
I fell in love with your face but not your soul
I'll take cover from the pouring rain now
Hope I can make it out before the storm hits home
[Pre-Chorus: Josh A]
Heartbreaks every time I see your face now
Heartbreaks, I don't want all of this pain
Heartbreaks every time I see your face now
Heartbreaks, I don't want all of this pain
[Chorus: Josh A]
I don't think that I'll be fine
Every time I try, I just want to die, and
All the things I gave you, couldn't buy you what you needed
So tell me, why I can't be there for you?
Even though I was never there for you
Why I can't be there for you?
Even though I was never there for you
[Outro: Josh A & Jake Hill]
Heartbreaks every time I see your face now
Heartbreaks, I don't want all of this pain
Heartbreaks every time I see your face now
Heartbreaks, I don't want all of this pain

Did the guitar myself on Heartbreaks. I should start playing the guitar more on tracks. Big shoutout to @fivefive_gang for pushing me in a new creative direction and putting up with me while we record shit at his house.
