Broken
Allan Morrow Lyrics

In the lyrics of Allan Morrow's song "Broken," the singer awakens after their significant other has left, expressing a sense of acceptance and detachment from the situation. Despite feeling lost in their thoughts, they maintain a sense of resilience, proclaiming that they will be fine and that they still see visions of their ex-partner in their mind. The mention of being never sober could allude to attempting to numb the pain of heartbreak. Despite the breakup, the singer leaves an open invitation for their ex to reach out if they ever need help, indicating a lingering sense of caring and support.

The second verse reflects on past hurtful words and a feeling of being trapped within emotional confines. The singer admits to lacking the courage to make changes in their life for anyone or anything, indicating a sense of resignation or perhaps a fear of vulnerability. The repeated assertion of not giving a care seems to stem from a place of self-preservation, possibly as a defense mechanism to shield themselves from further emotional pain. The repeated phrase "Never gave a fuck" could emphasize a hardened exterior that shields the singer from additional hurt.

The following verses delve into the singer's coping mechanisms, such as turning to substances like poison and lean to numb their pain. There is a reference to the toll this takes on their physical health, especially on their liver. Despite acknowledging that other potential relationships may never compare, the singer admits to not being entirely truthful about their emotions. The refusal to give up on their past love suggests a lingering attachment and reluctance to fully move on, despite the hurt they've endured. This sentiment is reinforced through the repetition of "Never giving up on you."

Towards the end of the lyrics, the singer expresses a sense of pride or facade by claiming to save face and hiding their true feelings. Memories of the past relationship continue to haunt them, taking a toll on their emotional well-being. The singer conveys a sense of isolation, feeling that no one truly cares about them or their struggles. Despite this feeling of neglect, they seem resigned to the fact that they are solely focused on their past love, refusing to entertain the idea of pursuing connections with others. The final repetition of "They don't give a fuck 'bout me" drives home the singer's sense of abandonment and emotional detachment from the world around them.
