Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right back where I began
Tell me where did I go wrong
Broken hearted me all I do
Is spend my nights missin' you
I wanta go back where I belong
I couldn't find the words to say
I wanted to cry on your shoulder
But sometimes cryin' stands in the way
Broken hearted me here I am
Right back where I began
Tell me where did I go wrong
Broken hearted me all I do
Is spend my nights missin' you
I wanta go back where I belong
Wish I could say how much I need you
Even more than I did then
Right now I just long to hold you
In these lovin' arms again
Broken hearted me here I am
Right back where I began
Tell me where did I go wrong
Broken hearted me all I do
Is spend my nights missin' you
I wanta go back where I belong
Take me back where I belong
The song "Broken Hearted Me" by Billy Yates is a poignant ballad about a man who is still recovering from the heartache he experienced after a break-up.

He is trying to figure out where he went wrong in their relationship. He then goes on to describe how he spends his nights missing his partner and how he wants to go back to where he belongs, which is with her.
