This song details the complicated relationship Frank shares with a girl who struggles with love and relationships, due to witnessing her parent’s dysfunctional marriage crumble.

Creve Coeur is a city in Missouri outside of St. Louis. According to the city’s website, “Legend has it that an Indian princess fell in love with a French fur trapper, but the love was not returned. According to the story, she then jumped from a ledge overlooking Creve Coeur Lake; the lake then formed itself into a broken heart.” The phrase also means “broken heart” in French. It is likely for one of these reasons, or both, Frank named the song as such.
