Kanye West - Heartless Lyrics and Video
Heartless by Kanye West, Music Video and Lyrics
“Heartless” is the second single by American rapper Kanye West, from his upcoming fourth album 808s & Heartbreak, which will be released on November 25, 2008.
‘Heartless‘ was released on October 15, 2008 and much like the first single off the album, “Love Lockdown“, the song is Auto-Tuned.
The music video was directed by Hype Williams and was released on November 7, 2008. It uses the rotoscoping animation technique, which West claims was inspired by the 1981 animated film American Pop, where a vast amount of character animations were traced over live-action footage.
Listen to ‘Heartless’ song here, this is the official video.
Kanye West - Heartless Lyrics
In the night, I hear them talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless? Oh
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so
Cold as the winter wind, when it breeze yo?
Just remember that you talkin to me hoe
You need to watch the way you talkin to me hoe
I mean after all the things that we’ve been through
I mean after all the things we got into
Ayo I know there’s some things that you aint told me
Ayo I did some things but that’s the old me
And now you wanna get me back and you gonna show me
So you walk around like you don’t know me
You got a new friend, but I got homies
But in the end, still so lonely
In the night, I hear them talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless? Oh
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so doctor evil?
You bring out a side of me that I don’t know
I decided we weren’t gonna speak so
Why we up 3am on the phone
Why would you be so mad at me for
Homie I don’t know, she’s hot and cold
I won’t stop, won’t mess my groove up
Cause I already know how this thing goes
You run and tell your friends that you leavin me
They said they don’t see what you see in me
You wait a couple months, then you gonna see
You never find nobody better than me
In the night, I hear them talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless? Oh
How could you be so heartless?
Talkin, talkin, talkin, talk
Baby lets just knock it off
They don’t know what we’ve been through
They don’t know bout me and you
So I got something new to see
And you just gonna keep hatin me
And we just gonna be enemies
I know you can’t believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you can’t make it right
I’m gonna take off tonight
Into the night
In the night, I hear them talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless? Oh
How could you be so heartless?
