Broken Words
Drifting Hearts: Love's Deception in Broken Words
Lyrics
I'm the one in stories they refer to as a fool for loving you
I feel like I'm considered foolish for loving you in the stories people tell
What I thought was solid turned to vapor underneath my feet
What I believed to be stable or reliable suddenly disappeared like vapor beneath me
You make me think you're on and I'm always wrong
You often make me feel as if you're right and I'm always wrong
Why the hell do that to me
Expressing frustration at the mistreatment received
If they say that love is blind, well I
Referencing the saying that love can make one blind
Guess I poked out my own two eyes for you
Implies sacrificing personal clarity or judgment for the sake of the relationship
Don't make me build my world
Requesting not to base their entire world or life on unreliable promises or statements
On your broken words
Emphasizing not wanting to construct their world based on words that have been broken or unfulfilled
Don't make me build my world
Reiteration of not wanting to base their world on unreliable or deceitful words
On your broken words
Reiteration of the plea to avoid constructing their world on untrustworthy words
Am I not the Captain am I not the one that runs my ship
Questioning their control or authority in the relationship despite feeling overwhelmed
Why then every wave, every ripple knocks me off my feet
Expressing confusion as to why every obstacle or disturbance knocks them down
I made you my anchor now I'm drifting off
Having made the person they love their anchor but now feeling adrift without stability
Why the hell do that to me
Expressing frustration similar to line 4
If it's sink or swim, it's up to you what boat we're sitting in, Oh
Highlighting that the decision between success or failure is influenced by the actions of the other person
Don't make me build my world
Repetition of not wanting to base their world on unreliable promises or words
On your broken words
Repetition emphasizing the negative impact of building their world on broken promises or words
Don't make me build my world
Continued insistence on not relying on untrustworthy words for their world-building
On your broken words
Reiteration of the plea to avoid constructing their world on unreliable or deceitful words
No more words, no more lies
Expressing a desire to end the cycle of deceit or untruths
No more words, no more love in disguise
Declaring an end to deceitful words and love that is not genuine or authentic
No more words, no more lies
Reiteration of the desire to end falsehoods and love that is not genuine or authentic
No more words, no more love in disguise
Reiteration of ending the cycle of deceit or love that is not genuine or authentic
