Broken
Echoes of Heartbreak: Leikyn Bravo's Tale of Love and Betrayal
Lyrics
There were tears streaming down my face
Expressing emotional distress with tears on the face.
As you sat on your phone in the place we called home without a word to say
Observing the partner on the phone in their shared home, silent and distant.
And it was over before we said goodbye
Acknowledging the end of the relationship without a formal farewell.
No need for words I know you choose her I can see it in your eyes
Perceiving the partner's choice of someone else, evident in their eyes.
I can see it in your eyes
Reiteration of the partner's emotional detachment.
'Cause I'm just the broken one
Self-identification as someone emotionally shattered.
Broken one
Repetition emphasizing the emotional brokenness.
I'm just the broken one
Reaffirmation of feeling broken due to unreciprocated love.
Who fell in love with you
Acknowledging falling in love with the partner.
Pull the bullet straight from my heart
Metaphorically removing the source of emotional pain from the heart.
And drown my veins in the liquor of pain for the months we fell apart
Using alcohol to numb the pain caused by the months of separation.
Don't pretend I ever crossed your mind
Expressing doubt that the speaker occupies the partner's thoughts.
'Cause I watched you erase every trace of face leaving nothing behind
Witnessing the partner erasing all traces of the speaker from their life.
Leaving nothing behind
Reiteration of leaving no emotional remnants behind.
'Cause I'm just the broken one
Repeating the self-identification as emotionally broken.
Broken one
Reiterating the emotional state of being broken.
I'm just the broken one
Reaffirming the speaker's emotional brokenness due to unrequited love.
Who fell in love with you
Reaffirmation of falling in love with the partner.
And you're just the selfish one
Labeling the partner as selfish for ending the relationship.
Selfish one
Reiterating the partner's selfish nature in the breakup.
You're just the selfish one
Reaffirmation of the partner's perceived selfishness and premature abandonment.
Who gave up too soon
Labeling the partner as one who gave up too soon in the relationship.
I guess you're broken too
Suspecting that the partner is also emotionally broken.
But behind closed doors you're afraid to speak
Highlighting the partner's reluctance to express vulnerability.
Right or wrong fear made you weak
Attributing the partner's weakness to fear, regardless of right or wrong.
Addicted to trouble to hide from the pain
Suggesting the partner resorts to trouble as a coping mechanism to avoid emotional pain.
Did you find what you came for down the drain
Questioning the partner's success in finding what they sought in destructive behavior.
'Cause I'm just the broken one
Repeating the self-identification as emotionally broken.
Broken one
Reiterating the emotional state of being broken.
I'm just the broken one
Reaffirmation of feeling broken due to unreciprocated love.
