Broken Hearts and Fairytales
Jake Coco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life is so frustrating, and it's getting over rated.
A broken heart, a fairytale it's all the same to me.
But I don't wanna be just waiting patiently
For life to come and take me away.

So I'm sitting here in silence,
and I'm pretty sure that violence
Is the only form of love I'll ever know.
But I guess that goes to show that even those filled up with hope
have less than you can tell meets the eye.

And you lead me on and on and on again, you do.
You lead me on and on and on again;
I hope to God this hurts you too.

I wish I never loved you;
I wish I didn't care.

Life is so degrading, and I'm pretty sure I hate it.
I gotta get myself out of this town.
Before I'm broken down, lying shattered on the ground,
For all the world to see who I am.

And you lead me on and on and on again, you do.
You lead me on and on and on again;
I hope to God this hurts you too.

I wish I never loved you;
I wish I didn't care.

Sometimes an artist can dig into the very pit of their soul and lay out all the emotions they are feeling into a form of art that we all have experienced and can relate to....Thanks for sharing.....

- My heart isn't broken. It's just bruised and scarred from so many hits. It's been bandaged too much that it's lately it's been bleeding thru the bandages..I wish I never believed him...I wish I didn't cry myself to sleep last night. I wish I could just simply leave like you tell me to if you are hurting me. I wish I had listened to what my brain told me..In the end I got hurt again but..it's okay...I'll heal right? I love you Jake Coco </3 You made my day with this song and I thank you for it
