You Broke My Heart, I'm Keeping Your Scarf
Winter's Embrace: Healing with Memories in Luke Frees' Melody
Lyrics
The leaves were starting to change in Jamaica Plain
The change of seasons is observed in Jamaica Plain.
We spent the day outside with the last few signs of summer
A day is spent outdoors, capturing the last signs of summer.
And then we threw on Morphine and stayed up much too late
Morphine is played, and they stay up late.
And in the morning you gave me something to hide love’s watercolors
In the morning, a gift is given symbolizing hidden love.
But you broke my heart
The speaker's heart is broken.
I’m keeping your scarf
The speaker is holding onto the scarf as a keepsake.
It’ll get me through the winter without you
The scarf is seen as a source of comfort during the winter without the person.
In the snowy nights
Referencing cold, snowy nights.
It’ll pull me tight
The scarf provides emotional support.
Better than you could ever do
The scarf's comfort surpasses what the person could offer.
Now the weather’s changed, I don’t feel much anymore
The speaker feels emotionally numb due to changing weather.
It’s hard to when you’re frozen, icy, numb
Describing emotional freezing and numbness.
I’m tired of trying to break down your battered door
The speaker is tired of trying to break through the other person's emotional barriers.
But I’m still here cuz it’s still too cold to run
Despite difficulties, the speaker remains due to the harsh external conditions.
You broke my heart
Reiteration of heartbreak.
I’m keeping your scarf
The speaker holds onto the scarf as a reminder of the broken heart.
It’ll get me through the winter without you
Emphasizing the scarf's significance during the winter without the person.
In the snowy nights
Reference to cold, snowy nights.
It’ll pull me tight
The scarf provides emotional support.
Better than you could ever do
The scarf's comfort surpasses what the person could offer.
Sometimes I wonder where it all went wrong
The speaker reflects on where the relationship went wrong.
Was there a point when I became too much to bear?
Questioning if the speaker became too burdensome.
Do you even feel bad how you strung me along?
Asking if the person feels remorse for stringing the speaker along.
At least when the frost bit I had something new to wear
The scarf becomes a tangible item in the harsh cold.
Cuz you broke my heart
Reiteration of heartbreak.
I’m keeping your scarf
The speaker holds onto the scarf as a reminder of the broken heart.
It’ll get me through the winter without you
Emphasizing the scarf's significance during the winter without the person.
In the snowy nights
Reference to cold, snowy nights.
It’ll pull me tight
The scarf provides emotional support.
Better than you could ever do
The scarf's comfort surpasses what the person could offer.
You broke my heart
Reiteration of heartbreak.
I’m keeping your scarf
The speaker holds onto the scarf as a reminder of the broken heart.
It’ll get me through the winter without you
Emphasizing the scarf's significance during the winter without the person.
In the snowy nights
Reference to cold, snowy nights.
It’ll pull me tight
The scarf provides emotional support.
Better than you could ever do
The scarf's comfort surpasses what the person could offer.
