You Broke Me
Heartbreak Symphony: Unraveling the Pain in Maria Mena's 'You Broke Me'
Lyrics
Your sister keeps calling me
Your sister keeps contacting me
I don't know what to say
Uncertain how to respond
And I don't have the energy
Lacking the strength or motivation
To pretend that it's, that it's okay
Can't pretend everything is fine
I didn't think I'd get over you
Didn't expect to move on from you
But here I am on the mend
But now I'm healing
I'm not the same girl that you once knew
I've changed from who I used to be
And we can never be, never be friends
We can't resume our past friendship
No, we can never be, never be friends
Reiterating the impossibility of friendship
'Cause you broke me, I'm broken
You caused my emotional pain
I'm shattered in pieces
I'm emotionally shattered
Won't let anyone see it
I hide my brokenness
Won't let anyone in again
I won't let anyone close to me again
You broke me, I'm broken
Reiteration of being broken by you
I used to believe in love
Believed in love previously
I used to be certain I'd find it one day
Had confidence in finding love
Now I'm just afraid
Now, I'm fearful
You said you hurt yourself hurting me
You made me feel guilty for your pain
Made me feel bad for a while
You manipulated my emotions
It took a minute but now I see
I've come to understand your selfish nature
That you're a self-absorbed boy that ran wild
You're self-centered and reckless
You're a coward, a weak little child
Calling you out as a coward
You broke me, I'm broken
Reiteration of feeling broken by you
I'm shattered in pieces
Expressing deep emotional damage
Won't let anyone see it
Hiding my pain from others
Won't let anyone in again
Building barriers to keep people out
'Cause you broke me, I'm broken
Repeating the impact of your actions
I used to believe in love
Previously had faith in love
I used to be certain I'd find it one day
Believed in finding love someday
Now I'm just afraid
But now, consumed by fear
Now I'm just afraid
Reiterating the fear of love
There are a few things that I wish I could get back from you
Wanting back what you took from me
The years you stole my beating soul, my heart burst through and through
The time and emotional damage caused by you
Take off your mask for those who ask the truth
Asking you to reveal the truth about yourself
Tell everyone that you're the reason, it's your fault that I am who I am
Blaming you for shaping who I am now
You broke me, I'm broken
Repeating the emotional impact of your actions
I'm shattered in pieces
Continued expression of being emotionally shattered
Won't let anyone see it
Concealing my pain from others
Won't let anyone in again
Intentionally keeping people out of my life
'Cause you broke me, I'm broken
Reaffirming the impact of your actions
I used to believe in love
Once believed in love
I used to be certain I'd find it one day
Hoped to find love one day
Now I'm just afraid
Now gripped by fear
Now I'm just afraid
Reiteration of being afraid
I used to believe in love
Previously believed in love
Now I'm just afraid
Present fear of love
