Broken
Heartache Unveiled: Yearning for Connection in Distance
Lyrics
I sit next to you in a restaurant
I feel physically close to you in a restaurant setting.
But it might as well be across the world
The emotional distance between us feels immense, as if we are worlds apart.
I lay beside you in bed at night
I share a bed with you during the night.
But I might as well be laying alone
Despite sharing a bed, it feels like I'm alone in my emotional experience.
Ooh and I'm Broken
Expressing a sense of emotional pain or turmoil.
I just want you to stay
Desire for the partner to remain in the relationship despite difficulties.
Ooh and I'm Broken
Reiteration of the emotional distress and desire for the partner to stay.
I never wanted it this way
Expressing discontent with the current situation, not desiring it.
And I'm Broken
Repeating the emotional state of feeling broken.
You say you want off this ride
Partner expresses a desire to end the relationship.
You say you don't want me back
Confirmation of the partner's decision not to reconcile.
Well I say can you give it some time baby
Request for time and reconsideration from the partner.
And you answer with no response back
Partner's silence or lack of response to the request.
Ooh and I'm Broken
Reiteration of the emotional pain and desire for the partner to stay.
I just want you to stay
Continued expression of the desire for the partner to remain in the relationship.
Ooh and I'm Broken
Restating the emotional distress and the unwanted nature of the situation.
Oh I never wanted it this way
Reaffirmation of not wanting the current state of affairs.
And I'm Broken
Repeating the emotional state of feeling broken.
We talk about our problems
Engaging in communication about relationship issues.
We talk about us
Discussing problems and the relationship itself.
We argue together
Engaging in arguments together.
Oh But yet we cry alone, when were Broken
Despite arguments, both partners experience loneliness and emotional pain.
Ooh and I'm Broken
Reiteration of the emotional pain and the desire for the partner to stay.
I just want you to stay
Continued expression of the desire for the partner to remain in the relationship.
Ooh and I'm Broken
Restating the emotional distress and the unwanted nature of the situation.
Oh I never wanted it this way
Reaffirmation of not wanting the current state of affairs.
Ooh And I'm Broken
Repetition of the emotional state of feeling broken.
I just want you stay yeah yeah yeah
Expressing a strong desire for the partner to stay.
Ooh and I'm Broken
Reiteration of the emotional pain and the desire for the partner to stay.
Oh I never wanted it this way
Restating the emotional distress and the unwanted nature of the situation.
And I'm Broken
Repeating the emotional state of feeling broken.
Ooh
Final expression of emotional pain and turmoil.
