Heartbreak Avenue Lyrics – TWICE

Meaning of HEARTBREAK AVENUE Lyrics

Intro: Jihyo Meaning:
A sad place where love hurts and causes pain.

Verse 1: Tzuyu, Sana, Chaeyoung Meaning:
The singer feels like they aren’t the one causing problems in the relationship, even though they come and go a lot. They have given their all many times but feel tired and worn out. They believe patience and pain go together in love. Maybe they’re just a hopeless romantic who keeps chasing happiness, even though deep down, they really want this one special person. It’s clear they want that person more than anything.

Pre-Chorus: Mina, Chaeyoung Meaning:
They’re tired of settling for less and going back and forth in the relationship. They don’t understand themselves and feel confused about why they keep acting this way.

Chorus: Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Chaeyoung Meaning:
Every time they try to find a new path or move on, they always end up back with that person. They see signs that things aren’t right but choose to ignore them. This keeps leading them back to the same painful place, which they call Heartbreak Avenue. They just can’t stop thinking about that person or get over them.

Verse 2: Jihyo, Sana, Dahyun, Nayeon, *Momo* Meaning:
It’s hard to believe they’re back to where they started in the relationship, despite trying to move on. One wrong choice brought them back into the other person’s arms. They were open and trusting, but the other person disappointed them. The relationship feels like a mix of happiness and chaos, like sunshine and a storm. They want to be serious with that person now but realize they’ve been fooled once and won’t let it happen again. They’re stronger now and don’t want someone who plays games with their feelings.

Pre-Chorus: Tzuyu, Momo, Nayeon Meaning:
They’re done with going back and forth and settling for less. They feel lost trying to understand themselves and don’t know why they keep falling into the same pattern.

Chorus: Jihyo, Dahyun, Mina, Nayeon Meaning:
No matter how much they try to take a different direction, every road leads back to that person. Even when they see the signs telling them the relationship is bad, they choose to ignore the truth. This causes them to keep ending up in the same sad place called Heartbreak Avenue. They can’t stop thinking about the person and can’t move on from the pain.

Outro: Jeongyeon, Jihyo Meaning:
They keep trying to move on and find a new way, but all paths bring them back to the same person. Even when the signs are clear, they ignore what’s really happening. This makes them end up again in that painful place, Heartbreak Avenue, stuck in the cycle of heartbreak.
