Lyrics:
Creep up and tell me that you
You love me more each time you
Look into my eyes, I feel like
I know you don’t mean to be mean
I’m sure you know the same for me
When you creep and tell me
And darling, it breaks my heart each time you
Darling, you break my heart each time you
You slip your hands inside my pockets
Tell me nothing else would do
Without me, you can’t live
You slip your heart into my chest
They both become one of the strongest pairs
When strangers come
And darling, this thing that breaks my heart
And darling, you break my heart each time you
Darling, this thing that breaks my heart
And darling, you break my heart each time you

Tegan and Sara wrote a Substack post about this song.
“This song is about getting your heart broken but not the regular way. Like the way like your partner dumps you on a payphone four thousand miles away and then changes their phone number to add insult to injury.” - Tegan in 2004
