Homewrecker Lyrics
Original Lyrics
English
[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
You hit like a drunk cigarette
The feelin' amplified
By sayin' things we never meant, oh, yeah
You leave me filled with regret
At the end of the night
I always find myself wonderin' why, oh, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you got plans for life?
'Cause I don't wanna just romance tonight
I wanna see you in another light, oh, yeah
With rhythm, there is rhyme
With you, there always can be I
I wanna see you in another light, ooh
[Chorus]
I don't wanna talk down on your lover
I don't wanna be a homewrecker
I just know I can be better, bе better, be bеtter
I don't wanna talk down on your lover
I don't wanna be a broken record
I just know I can be better, be better, be better
[Verse 2]
We sit on the fire escape
We talk and talk 'til dawn
I open up to you about my wrongs, oh, yeah
Then we lay and contemplate
Just one more round of love
Before you go home to another one
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you got plans for life?
'Cause I don't wanna just romance tonight
I wanna see you in another light, oh, yeah
With rhythm, there is rhyme
With you, there always can be I
I wanna see you in another light, ooh
[Chorus]
I don't wanna talk down on your lover
I don't wanna be a homewrecker
I just know I can be better, be better, be better
I don't wanna talk down on your lover
I don't wanna be a broken record
I just know I can be better, be better, be better
[Bridge]
I don't wanna be how you formulate opinions on astrology, oh no
Or to say we made peace
And then your friends don't even wanna talk to me, no more, no more
I wanna kiss you on the bed and on the floor
When I'm poor, when I'm bored
I am yours, I am yours, I am yours
[Chorus]
I don't wanna talk down on your lover
I don't wanna be a homewrecker
I just know I can be better, be better, be better
I don't wanna talk down on your lover
I don't wanna be a broken record
I just know I can be better, be better, be better
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh (Oh-oh)

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
[Verso 1]
Golpeas como un cigarrillo borracho
El sentimiento amplificado
Al decir cosas que nunca quisimos, oh sí
Me dejas lleno de arrepentimiento
Al final de la noche
Siempre me encuentro preguntándome por qué, oh sí
[Pre-Coro]
¿Tienes planes para la vida?
Porque no quiero solo romance esta noche
Quiero verte bajo otra luz, oh sí
Con ritmo, hay rima
Contigo siempre puedo ser yo
Quiero verte bajo otra luz, ooh
[Coro]
No quiero hablar mal de tu amor
No quiero ser un destructor de hogares
Solo sé que puedo ser mejor, ser mejor, ser mejor
No quiero hablar mal de tu amor
No quiero ser un disco rayado
Solo sé que puedo ser mejor, ser mejor, ser mejor
[Verso 2]
Nos sentamos en la escalera de incendios
Hablamos y hablamos hasta el amanecer
Me abro contigo sobre mis errores, oh sí
Luego nos acostamos y reflexionamos
Solo una ronda más de amor
Antes de que regreses con otro
[Puente]
No quiero ser cómo formulas opiniones sobre astrología, oh no
O decir que hicimos las paces
Y luego tus amigos ni siquiera quieren hablarme, no más, no más
Quiero besarte en la cama y en el suelo
Cuando soy pobre, cuando estoy aburrido
Soy tuyo, soy tuyo, soy tuyo

Meaning & Explanation
The song 'Homewrecker' by Sombr delves into the emotional complexity of being involved in a love triangle while resisting the temptation to become the destructive force in someone else's relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of late-night conversations filled with regret and longing, where the protagonist acknowledges their growing feelings but consciously chooses not to cross certain boundaries. The repeated refrain 'I don't wanna be a homewrecker' serves as both a personal mantra and moral compass, highlighting the internal conflict between desire and integrity. Through poetic metaphors like 'hit like a drunk cigarette' and 'broken record,' the song captures the intoxicating yet repetitive nature of forbidden attraction. The bridge introduces deeper psychological layers, touching on how outside perceptions (friends' opinions) and personal insecurities ('when I'm poor, when I'm bored') influence the dynamic. What makes this song particularly resonant is its honest portrayal of modern relationship dilemmas - it doesn't glorify the affair but rather examines the emotional toll on all parties involved. The musical arrangement likely enhances this tension, with the ooh-ooh melodies creating a dreamy, suspended atmosphere that mirrors the lyrical limbo between connection and conscience. This track speaks to anyone who's experienced the pull of an unavailable love while trying to maintain their self-respect, making it both timely and timeless in its exploration of romantic ethics.
