Broken
Echoes of Departure: Unraveling the Melancholy Tale in Roland Albertson's 'Broken'
Lyrics
Watching you slowly, I see you’re troubled
Observing your gradual distress
I can’t believe that you’re leaving
Expressing disbelief at the prospect of your departure
Walkin’ there slowly for the east train
Slowly moving towards the eastern train
Yeah, time is a killer when you’re waiting
Acknowledging the agonizing nature of time when one is in anticipation
And I believe that you’re leaving
Affirming the belief that you are indeed leaving
And I can see that you need me
Perceiving your need for my presence
I thought I saw you
Recalling a moment when I thought I saw you
But you better not see what you left behind
Warning against witnessing the consequences of your departure
Oh now you’re gone and your job has won
Reflecting on your departure and the victory of your responsibilities
Yeah your mind’s made up, no more time for us
Acknowledging your resolute decision and the end of our time together
And there’s just one thing I can’t deny
Admitting the undeniable truth
Oh, that seeing you will take a long long time
Anticipating a prolonged period for the pain of seeing you to fade
Oh but some things just never change
Recognizing the persistence of certain things despite change
Oh yeah everything will be just the same
Asserting that everything will remain unchanged
And I find it hard when I realise
Struggling with the realization that you will remember me but attempt to forget
That you’ll think of me and you’ll try and forget
Expressing the difficulty in accepting the situation
Oh I say, why do you leave me with this broken heart
Questioning the reason for being left with a broken heart
Oh I say, why do you leave
Repeating the query about the cause of departure
Do you leave
Pondering on the act of leaving
Oh I say, why do you leave me with this broken heart
Reiterating the emotional impact of being left with a broken heart
Oh I say, why do you leave
Repeating the question about the departure
Do you leave
Reiterating the contemplation of leaving
Do you leave
Continuing the contemplation on leaving, expressed in repetition
Do you leave
-Do you leave
-Do you leave
-Do you leave
