Broken Hearts
Mending Fragments: Living Colour's Reflection on Heartbreak
Lyrics
I see the fragments of the dreams I used to have
I see remnants of the aspirations and hopes I once had.
And bits of aspiration lying in the sand
There are scattered fragments of my ambitions left neglected.
The stained glass wall of love that I cannot see through
There's an obscured barrier in love, hindering clarity and understanding.
Provides the only light here in my lonely room
In my solitary space, the stained glass wall serves as the only source of illumination.
A breeze reminds me of the changing time and place
A passing wind reminds me of the ever-changing nature of time and locations.
A tear that takes forever rolls down your timeless face
A tear, seemingly eternal, rolls down your timeless face.
I hear that they say that broken hearts will mend
There's a belief that time heals emotional wounds like broken hearts.
But when they do they're never good as new
However, when they mend, they never regain their original state.
I wish right now I could change it back
I desire to reverse the past, undoing the hurtful actions I've committed.
I never meant to do the things I did to hurt you
I never intended to cause pain through my actions.
I never really thought that it would come to this
I never anticipated that circumstances would deteriorate to this extent.
Sometimes the things you lose are often the things you miss
Sometimes, what's lost turns out to be what's missed the most.
I see the reason for things I used to do
I comprehend the rationale behind my past actions.
They're all transparent now and so I see the truth
Now, everything is clear, and I can see the truth behind my actions.
I hear they say that broken hearts will men
There's a belief in the ability of time to heal heartbreak.
But when they do they're never good as new
But once healed, hearts never return to their original undamaged state.
I wish right now that I could change it back
If possible, I wish to reverse the past actions causing pain.
I know you don't believe but I care about you
Despite your disbelief, I genuinely care for you.
And I never meant to do those things I did to hurt you
I regret deeply the hurt I caused you, never intending such actions.
