I Heard A Rumour

The speaker looks back on a relationship in which she waited and trusted someone who hurt her. At first, she seems lonely and disappointed; she later recognizes that her friends had warned her. Now she hears that her former partner has suffered heartbreak too, but this news does not automatically make her ready to return.

“Waited on your call” suggests hoping for contact and attention, not simply waiting for a phone to ring. “A broken heart” refers to emotional pain after a relationship ends. The repeated phrase “I heard a rumour” emphasizes that the information about the former partner comes indirectly, so the speaker may not know whether it is true. “A second chance” means an opportunity to try the relationship again.

The lyrics leave open whether the former partner has truly changed and whether the speaker still has feelings for him. She considers forgiving him, but fear and the memory of being hurt hold her back. The song’s repeated refrain can sound catchy and playful, yet the situation underneath it is serious: hearing that someone else is unhappy may bring satisfaction, sympathy, or both, without repairing the damage between them.
