Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I still reach across the bed where you used to lie,
Then I remember you’re not here, and I’m asking myself why.
Your housecoat still hangs on the door,
How can you stop loving me when I still love you more?
I keep rereading messages from when you called me yours,
Now every little memory hurts more than before.
I tell my friends I’m doing well, then fall apart at home,
I never knew how loud a room could feel when you’re all alone.
I heard your favorite song today and had to pull aside,
Sat there with the engine running, fighting tears I couldn’t hide.
I wish you’d told me what went wrong before you walked away,
Now I’m searching for an answer in the things you didn’t say.
[Chorus]
My heart is so broken, I think I might lose my mind.
My pillow is so soaked, I always lose this track of time
The night goes by slow and it trickles to the morning light
My tears become a river, I think I’m gonna lose this fight
I always thought she loved me, but she left me behind
It cuts me like a knife, my friends says you will be fine
They truly don’t understand what it means to have a broken heart
For they never experienced it, they’ve never been apart
So can you relate to the pain I feel,
Do you think it’s fake or do you think it’s real?
[Verse 2]
I saw you out with someone new, you had that same old smile,
The one I thought belonged to me, I hadn’t seen you in a while.
I turned before you noticed me, I couldn’t let you see
With tears in my eyes, in a spilled cup of tea.
My friends say I should go somewhere, and take a little break,
But I still hear your laughter when when at night I stay awake.
I almost called you yesterday, just to hear you say hello,
But I’m afraid you’d wouldn’t answer, if you did, you would say, let go.
I wonder if you miss me when the rain begins to fall,
Or if you’ve deleted all of our pictures and don’t think of me at all.
I know I cannot make you stay or change the way you feel,
But knowing that you’re gone still doesn’t make it seem real.
[Chorus]
My heart is so broken, I think I might lose my mind.
My pillow is so soaked, I always lose this track of time
The night goes by slow and it trickles to the morning light
My tears become a river, I think I’m gonna lose this fight
I always thought she loved me, but she left me behind
It cuts me like a knife, my friends says you will be fine
They truly don’t understand what it means to have a broken heart
For they never experienced it, they’ve never been apart
So can you relate to the pain I feel,
Do you think it’s fake or do you think it’s real?
[Bridge]
If I let somebody love me, will I fear they’ll leave me too?
Will I hold back half my heart because of what I lost with you?
I don’t want to hurt forever, but I don’t know where to start,
How do I believe in love again with such a broken heart?
Maybe one day I’ll hear your name and tears won’t fill my eyes,
Maybe I’ll wake up smiling without reaching for your side.
But tonight I need somebody who won’t tell me I’ll be fine,
Just sit here while I fall apart, one tear at a time
I’m broken
I’m broken
I’m broken
I’m broken
I’m broken
I’m broken
