Song: Took You Two Years To Win My Heart
Artist: Owen Pallett / Final Fantasy
Album: Has a Good Home

Lyrics:

Took you two years to win my heart
Then two words to break it
The love you ignited,
You firefighted and roared
Bellowing into the rainy night

They say heartbreak is good for the skin
But all that it's helped is my drinking
Picking fights with myself and my friends
And my friends threatening to do me in

Took you two years to win my heart
Then two words to break it
More surprising than two years of lying is how people let You get away with it

Saturday sleep-ins with no distractions
Summer sun and songbirds
Once kept afloat on a venetian boat
Blotted out by your two words

Mighty Leon, wind the tape
And be sure of one thing
Every song from a heart this mangled
Will be draped in strings, strings, strings

  • Maybe he just wanted to keep the parallelism going; "2 years" and "2 words".

    Maybe "2 words" just signifies that it was easier to break his heart than win it.

    Those are just my thoughts. Anyone?

  • @mychemicalwhatever Agreed.

  • "I do."

  • Oh.....this song is so hauntingly beautiful. I am in love with this song and it breaks my heart every time it ends...........REPLAY!

  • @TheSvantini Clearly, the most likely possibility considering that OP is gay.

  • <3

  • "It's over"

  • "I cheated"

  • "Not enough"

  • I always thought that the two words are "I don't", but whatever, this is one of my favorite Owen Pallett/Final Fantasy songs

  • @mychemicalwhatever indeed I would have to agree with this for it is so simple to destroy some that takes forever to build. Also I noticed with all Owen Pallett songs he leaves room for interpretation so this by far sounds like one of those occasions. So the final question is this, what were the two words that broke Your heart?

    lol
