Broken Heart
Head & Phone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

People are acting like in Hollywood
I can't recognize what is lie or truth
People are acting like in Hollywood
Where you were when I needed you
People are acting like in Hollywood
I'm so alone, I'm so alone
People are acting like in Hollywood
How it hurts, how it hurts
People are acting like in Hollywood
I'm so alone, I'm so alone
People are acting like in Hollywood
I love you, I need you (Go!)
I'm alone again, I'm alone again
I'm alone again, I'm alone again
I'm lost again, I'm alone again
I'm lost again, I'm alone again (Go!)
People are acting like in Hollywood
I can't recognize what is lie or truth
People are acting like in Hollywood
Where you were when I needed you
People are acting like in Hollywood
I'm so alone, I'm so alone
People are acting like Hollywood
How it hurts, how it hurts
People are acting like in Hollywood
I'm so alone, I'm so alone
People are acting like in Hollywood
I love you, I need you (Go!)
Broke my heart again
Yeah, I'm not okay
No, no I'm not okay
Broke my heart again
Yeah, broke my heart again
I'm not okay
No, I'm not okay
I'm alone again, I'm alone again
I'm alone again, I'm alone again




I'm lost again, I'm alone again
I'm lost again, I'm alone again

Overall Meaning

The song "Broken Heart" by Head & Phone alludes to the Hollywood stereotype of living in a world full of fake personas and superficiality. The singer sings about the challenges of distinguishing between truth and lies as people act like they are in Hollywood. The song has a mournful spirit as the singer speaks about feeling alone and expressing how much it hurts after someone broke their heart again. Through the lyrics "Where you were when I needed you," the writer portrays the feeling of abandonment and lack of reliable support from people. The singer also speaks about feeling lost once again and implies that the Hollywood vibe may have something to do with the emotional confusion.


The Hollywood allusion radiates through the lyrics, with the chorus capturing the essence of the idea as the singer sings, "People are acting like in Hollywood." The writer further explains how the Hollywood atmosphere is not a healthy place, and it leaves many feeling alone and lost. By repeating specific lines like "I'm so alone" and "How it hurts," the artist reinforces the melancholy flavor of the song's theme. The line "Go!" which comes after "I love you, I need you," reveals the pain the writer is going through to convey the feeling of heartbreak.

Lyrics ❤
Hey Mama, how do you get a red wine stain
Outta your favorite dress?
Black mascara off a pillow case?
Cure a one-too-many headache?

Mama can I come and maybe stay a few days
This weekend or next?
And hey, how do you get a red wine stain
Outta of your favorite dress?

How does he sleep at night?
Mama, the nerve of this guy
To leave me so easy
Am I gonna be alright?
I wanna kick myself for falling so hard
Mama, can you die from a broken heart?

Can you ask Daddy if he's got time
To come and look at my front door?
It got slammed last night
And now it don't close right

And just promise that you won't tell him everything
And keep that pistol in the drawer
Mama, please don't say
I'm gonna laugh about this someday
You didn't see the way he drove away

How does he sleep at night?
Mama, the nerve of this guy
To leave me so easy
Am I gonna be alright?
I wanna kick myself for falling so hard
Mama, can you die from a broken heart?
Oh, a broken heart

Can your knees give out from praying so hard? (praying so hard)
Can you go blind from crying in the dark? (crying in the dark)
Was it ever really real
If he don't feel like I feel?

How does he sleep at night?
Mama, the nerve of this guy
To leave me so easy
Am I gonna be alright?

How does he sleep at night?
Mama, the nerve of this guy
To leave me so easy
Am I gonna be alright?
I wanna kick myself for falling so hard
Mama, can you die from a broken heart?
A broken heart?
