The meaning of the lyrics of the song "How to Break a Heart" by the artist "Westlife"

In Westlife's song "How to Break a Heart", the lyrical hero experiences a painful breakup. Despite the pain and disappointment, he is determined to move on and not let this situation destroy him.

At the beginning of the song, the hero acknowledges his pain ("Although my heart is breaking"), but declares his inner strength ("I'm stronger than this"). He is not going to give up and believes in a brighter future ("Now my world is spinning faster"). He accuses his ex-lover of taking away everything she gave him ("You gave me a whole world to take away"), leaving only emptiness and pain behind.

Despite the trauma he has experienced, the hero learns a valuable lesson from this experience. He decides not to repeat the mistakes of his ex-lover and not to inflict the same pain on others ("I'll take all that I've learned from you, and I'll never do that"). He refuses to let the pain control his life ("In my sleep I won't call your name") and believes that he can love again ("'Cause I still know how to love").

The recurring chorus emphasizes the main idea of the song: the hero learned how to break hearts from his own experience, but he is not going to use this knowledge for evil.
