Broken
Shattered Promises: Unveiling the Heartbreak in Since April's 'Broken'
Lyrics
Looking back to the day that we met
Reflecting on the initial meeting with the person
I've been happy ever since until now
Had been consistently happy until this moment
That this ghost of you tells me
Feeling haunted by memories or remnants of the person
He wants to leave
The lingering presence of the person wants to depart
How can you spit on our agreement
Questioning how the person could disregard their mutual agreement
I thought we always wanted to share
Believed in the shared desire to disclose and be together
What's going on in your life
Curiosity about the reasons behind the person's actions
That you feel the need to rip my heart out
Wondering why the person is causing intense emotional pain
You destroyed my whole world
The person's actions have devastated the speaker's world
Yet you don't even seem to care
Perceiving a lack of concern or empathy from the person
How can you move on
Confusion about the ease with which the person is moving forward
And forget about all we shared
Feeling abandoned, as the person is disregarding their shared history
You just threw our love away
Expressing disbelief at the abrupt termination of their love
Leaving me shattered
Left in a state of complete emotional devastation
And broken
Feeling emotionally shattered and fractured
I never thought you were this good at pretending
Surprised by the person's ability to convincingly deceive
How could you lie straight to my face
Expressing disbelief at the person's ability to lie directly
I hardly recognize the thing you've become
Struggling to recognize the person's current state or actions
I never wanted to see that side of you
Never wished to witness this negative aspect of the person
I guess things can be too perfect
Realization that perfection might be deceptive or problematic
At least they were to me
Thought everything was perfect from the speaker's perspective
I thought we'd grow old together
Belief in a future together that is now jeopardized
But you won't give me the chance to make things right
Feeling denied the opportunity to reconcile or fix things
You destroyed my whole world
Reiterating the destruction caused to the speaker's world
Yet you don't even seem to care
Perceiving a lack of empathy or remorse from the person
How can you move on
Confusion about the person's ability to move forward without remorse
And forget about all we shared
Feeling abandoned as the person disregards their shared history again
You just threw our love away
Expressing disbelief at the abrupt termination of their love (repeated)
Leaving me shattered
Left in a state of complete emotional devastation (repeated)
And broken
Feeling emotionally shattered and fractured (repeated)
You destroyed my whole world
Reiterating the destruction caused to the speaker's world (repeated)
Yet you don't even seem to care
Perceiving a lack of empathy or remorse from the person (repeated)
How can you move on
Confusion about the person's ability to move forward without remorse (repeated)
And forget about all we shared
Feeling abandoned as the person disregards their shared history again (repeated)
You just threw our love away
Expressing disbelief at the abrupt termination of their love (repeated)
Leaving me shattered
Left in a state of complete emotional devastation (repeated)
And broken
Feeling emotionally shattered and fractured (repeated)
