Here, we see Dua Lipa’s battling emotions as she entertains the idea that being alone would be better than worrying about losing him. ChorusĪm I falling in love with the one that could break my heart? She can feel the way he’s taken hold of her heart and she’s “afraid of all the things it could do” to her if they part ways. Literally, she could be describing how when she gets ready in the morning, she can see him in the mirror beside her. Symbolically, it can mean that she sees herself in him, and that they have very similar personalities. “It’s you in my reflection” is an interesting line, and it can be taken a couple different ways. She would give him anything he wants or needs. “Center of attention” could mean that he’s a popular person, but it likely means that he is the center of her attention. I'm afraid of all the things it could do to me You know you can get whatever you want from me She’s uncertain about other things in her life, but she has no doubts about her feelings for him. In the past, she was the one to “say the first goodbye” and end things. Something about them never fully clicked for her, and she believes she had to “get it wrong to know” what she likes in a relationship. She’s “had to love and lose” romantic partners many times in the past. She sets the scene by letting us know that this isn’t her first relationship.

Although she says in the lyrics that she has been in serious relationships before, she believes that breaking up with him would break her heart in ways she hasn’t yet experienced. As she lets him into her life and her heart, she considers how easily and deeply he could hurt her. She wonders if something this good can last, and if he’s falling for her as much as she is for him. As Dua Lipa has a revelation of how much she cares for this person, the doubts and fears come crashing in. The lyrics of “Break My Heart” paint a picture of someone just beginning to get serious in a relationship.

But then thinking: ‘Nothing else compares to this, and what if this ends and it breaks my heart?’ It’s the whole thing of being scared to be too happy, like when your day is going really well and you think, ‘What’s the one thing that’s going to f**k it up?’” “Are you falling?” Dua Lipa told Apple Music that she wrote “Break My Heart” about “finally being in a happy place and knowing this new person is amazing.
