Half A Heart Lyrics

So your friends' been telling me
You've been sleeping with my sweater
And that you can't stop missing me
Bet my friends' been telling you
I'm not doing much better
Because I'm missing half of me

And being here without you
It's like I'm...

    This song sounds like heartbreak. They were perfect, something happened and boom, their no longer together. This song says a lot because he must really miss her. He says 'I'm half a heart without you..." which kind of says a lot. It takes a lot for a man to say he's half without his woman. So I guess he really wants her back, and he's trying, but its just not working...

    I Think This Is About Payzer.
    "So your friends' been telling me
    You've been sleeping with my sweater
    And that you can't stop missing me" Liam Gave A Sweater To Danielle and Whenever Danielle Misses Liam She Just Hugs The Sweater He Gave Her, "Bet my friend's been telling you
    I'm not doing much better" Liam isn't doing any better without danielle. "If you could spare an hour or so,We'll go for lunch down by the river" I Think one of their most romantic dates they went by a river and had their date their. So Basically This Song is About Payzer Biyathes

    i think it's ab ziam and larry bc those four are the ones who sound saddest in their solos and it doesn't say it on Spotify but I read somewhere that liam and louis wrote it together so like they were clearly both going through similar situations

    just my opinion :) tpwk

    I think that this song is about a guy wanting a girl back just after they broke up. And this is his way of asking if she would take him back.

    I know a lot of people think this is about payer but I honestly think it's about ziam, whenever they are apart they look depressed and they are always staring out windows which one does when they miss somebody, but you believe what you want that's just my opinion

    I think this song is about a boy and a girl who love eachother but she broke up with him beacause of distance and he still loves her and she still loves him and she sleeps with his clothes at the line "so your friends been telling me you ben sleeping with my sweater" and he wants to get back with her but she doesnt

    I think this song is about a boy and a girl who broke up, but both of them still love each other, but they don't want to take another chance with each other because they got hurt once. They fought once and they don't want that to happen again(when it says "forget all we said that night").

    Half a heart is about a relation ship where the girl and the boy fight. They both miss each other and the boy wants to talk it through. He's saying that she is his other Half and misses and can't live without her. :)

    This song is about a break up that both of them are regretting but maybe it was for the best. Half a heart tells a story about a love that has been broken even if it is directed towards Liam and Danille

    I think it's about a long distance relation ship because if they broke up why would she have his sweater and half a Heart is she is somewhere else so that they are in half not together like a whole

    this song is about a breakup between a couple, who still miss each other dearly. it talks about how one person feels regret and knows the other does too. each of them feel empty, lost and incomplete without each other.

    I think it means that once a break up happened they wanted to get back together and they really missed each other and felt like they weren't all of themselves without the other person

    It's saying a break up is hard its like you lost half of you are.

    the song has a heart is about one direction and how one or all of them have broken up with their girlfriends or have left their family members and they miss them so much and they just can't live without them.

    i think this song is about how the boys have traveled all around the world and have had to leave loved ones behind and their saying that its hard for them to be away for that long.
