Broken Strings
Embracing Imperfection: Love, Loss, and Broken Strings
Lyrics
Hey, babe
Expression of familiarity or affection towards someone
Do you know it, I feel pain
Acknowledging emotional pain
I, lie
Admitting to deception or falsehood
Said I was okay all of the time
Claiming to be okay despite experiencing pain
Hey, you, and me too
Referencing both the speaker and the addressed person
Hiding in the backseat
Being in a passive position, possibly avoiding confrontation
Running from the truth
Avoidance or evasion of the truth
And they say
Quoting a common saying or opinion
Crazy that love might maybe be
Commenting on the potential craziness of relying on love
An easy way out
Suggesting love as a convenient escape
Guess I love my broken things, I
Expressing a preference for broken things in love
Play guitars with broken strings, I
Metaphorically playing musical instruments with issues
Fall in love with a broken heart, I'm
Falling in love despite knowing the heart is damaged
Driving cars that just won't start, and I
Symbolizing difficulties in relationships through car troubles
Guess I love my broken things, I
Reiteration of the preference for broken things in love
Play guitars with broken strings, I
Continuation of the metaphorical play on broken instruments
Fall in love with a broken heart, I'm
Repeating the theme of falling in love with a damaged heart
Driving cars that just won't start
Reiteration of relationship challenges symbolized by car issues
You, too
Addressing another person with a brave facade
Brave face on but you're scared of the truth
Appearing confident but being afraid of facing the truth
And we, see
Observing confusion or lost direction in younger individuals
Kids on the corner they don't know where to be
Commenting on the uncertainty of youth
And I'll keep writing
Commitment to writing despite challenges
If we keep fighting
Hope for resolution through continued effort and communication
And maybe we can get it down
Optimism about overcoming difficulties through joint efforts
And I'll keep talking
Commitment to communication in resolving issues
If you keep on walking
Encouraging the other person to keep moving forward
Maybe we can figure it out
Hope for mutual understanding and resolution
Guess I love my broken things, I
Reiteration of the preference for broken things in love
Play guitars with broken strings, I
Continuation of the metaphorical play on broken instruments
Fall in love with a broken heart, I'm
Repeating the theme of falling in love with a damaged heart
Driving cars that just won't start, and I
Repeating symbolism of relationship challenges with car troubles
Guess I love my broken things, I
Reiteration of the preference for broken things in love
Play guitars with broken strings, I
Continuation of the metaphorical play on broken instruments
Fall in love with a broken heart, I'm
Repeating the theme of falling in love with a damaged heart
Driving cars that just won't start
Reiteration of relationship challenges symbolized by car issues
