“Loveless Hearts” is a song recorded for Dido’s fourth album, Girl Who Got Away. She called it “my bleakest song ever”, written about “a really bad” experience that she couldn’t “make sense of”. She declined to explain any further, saying she wants people to relate the story to their own lives.
[Verse 1:]
I can find the good news in anything
But without you, that's all gone
No one could have told me how much I'd miss you
And how soon the world moves on
How can they not hear me
When I say
"We're not safe anymore"
[Chorus:]
Did loveless hearts build the world
Only to tear it apart
How did those gods tempt you to leave
Just when we needed you most
[Verse 2:]
The sun will rise today as it did yesterday
And I'll keep on going too
But every hour that I get through it breaks my heart
That I am losing more of you
[Chorus:]
Did loveless hearts build the world
Only to tear it apart
How did those gods tempt you to leave
Just when we needed you most
[Chorus:]
Did loveless hearts build the world
Only to tear it apart
How did those gods tempt you to leave
Just when we needed you most
