Must Be a Broken Heart
Love's Demise: A Heartache Symphony by The Shootouts
Lyrics
Well, I can't sleep a wink at night,
Insomnia troubles the speaker due to emotional distress.
Pourin' whiskey by the pint,
The speaker copes with pain by consuming a significant amount of whiskey.
Cause ever since you drove away,
The departure of a significant person has a profound impact on the speaker.
I barely even notice if it's night and day.
The speaker is emotionally numb, unable to distinguish between night and day.
I still ain't got no appetite
Loss of appetite reflects emotional turmoil and distress.
For scrambled memories and swallowed pride
The speaker grapples with fragmented memories and wounded pride.
My eyes are fried, and my luck is cold,
The speaker's outlook is bleak, and luck seems unfavorable.
This should be over easy but my brain is yoke.
The situation should be simple, but the speaker's mind is in disarray.
Cause I may not be a doctor but I've learned to read the signs,
The speaker has acquired the ability to recognize signs of distress, despite not being a professional.
And this ain't the condition I was in when you were mine,
The current emotional state is drastically different from the past when the relationship was intact.
I guess we I should have known that it would end here from the start,
There were early indicators that the relationship was destined to end this way.
Darling, this must be a broken heart.
The speaker concludes that the intense emotional pain signifies a broken heart.
I'm lonely but I'm not alone,
Despite being lonely, the speaker feels the lingering presence of the departed loved one.
Cause I'm still living with your ghost,
The memory of the person continues to haunt the speaker.
And though it's only me at home,
The speaker is physically alone at home, but emotionally connected to the past.
I keep hearing voices in the other room.
The speaker experiences auditory hallucinations, hearing voices associated with the absent person.
I still don't leave the house at all,
The speaker avoids leaving the house, indicating a withdrawal from the outside world.
I'm by my phone, just in case you call,
The speaker anxiously waits by the phone, hoping for a call from the departed person.
When the whiskey's gone, I'll just beg and plead,
The speaker turns to whiskey to cope, expressing a willingness to beg and plead when sober.
To beat this little bug and get you back with me
The speaker is determined to overcome emotional challenges and reunite with the loved one.
Cause I may not be a doctor but I've learned to read the signs,
The speaker reiterates their ability to recognize signs of distress despite lacking professional credentials.
And this ain't the condition I was in when you were mine,
The current emotional state is reiterated as a departure from the past when the relationship was intact.
I guess we I should have known that it would end here from the start,
The speaker reflects on the inevitability of the relationship's end from the beginning.
Darling, this must be a broken heart.
The speaker concludes that the intense emotional pain signifies a broken heart, repeating the sentiment.
