Lyrics
Well I, didn't care what he done
Expressing indifference to the actions of a person (he) in the past.
And I, didn't care who he loved
Continuing the theme of indifference, not concerned with the person's romantic choices.
And I let em take what I told him he could borrow
Allowing the person to take something (perhaps trust or affection) temporarily.
Well I, gave him my heart and he
Giving the person her heart.
Broke every part of me
Expressing emotional pain and heartbreak caused by the person.
and now I'm
Reflecting on the aftermath of the emotional damage.
lost in my sorrow
Feeling lost and engulfed in sorrow.
Yeah
Repeating the sense of distress and emotional turmoil.
Oh no
-Oh no
-How can you fix something

Try to put it together again
Referencing the attempt to reconstruct a damaged connection.
Broken...Broken
Repeating the theme of brokenness for emphasis.
Oh
Expressing a sense of disappointment or realization.
Well he, said all his lies and I believed
Recalling the person's deceptive behavior and the narrator's trust.
Everything that he promised me
Believing in the person's promises and feeling deceived.
I've been doing this for way too long
Expressing a prolonged experience of dealing with such situations.
There were, times where I couldn't see
Acknowledging moments of blindness to the truth.
What was right there in front of me
Questioning the decision to allow mistreatment.
Why did I let him do me wrong
Reflecting on the emotional pain caused by the person.
Yeah
Reiterating the emotional distress caused by the person.

-Wish I'd, quit loving him a long time ago
Expressing a desire to end the love for the person.
But my heart, just didn't know
Acknowledging the difficulty of letting go despite knowing it's necessary.
How to cut my ties and leave his love behind
Expressing the struggle of breaking emotional ties.
This is where my love will end
Declaring the end of love in a particular situation.
And, waste time I'm not gonna spend
