Hit rewind
So I could find
A single reason why
You would leave
With no goodbye
No apology
A future left behind?
Three years of my life just gone, and
I can't seem to find the moment
You realized I'm not the one, and
Walked right out the doorway
We were good until we weren't
Now I'm face down in our apartment
Wondering why you'd ever wanna leave me
Brokenhearted
All I knew
Was life with you
Did someone new
Come and change your mind?
I can't believe
I could be so blind
How could I not see
The light leaving your eyes?
Three years of my life just gone, and
I can't seem to find the moment
You realized I'm not the one, and
Walked right out the doorway
We were good until we weren't
Now I'm face down in our apartment
Wondering why you'd ever wanna leave me
Brokenhearted
Mmm, yeah, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, yeah, yeah
Three years of my life just gone, and
I can't seem to find the moment
You realized I'm not the one, and
Walked right out the doorway
We were good until we weren't
Now I'm face down in our apartment
Wondering why you'd ever wanna leave me
Wondering why you'd ever wanna leave me
"Brokenhearted," by Joan, is a song about a breakup that has left the singer feeling confused and heartbroken. The song starts with the singer questioning why their partner left them without any explanation or apology. They are trying to understand what went wrong and if there was anything they could have done to prevent the breakup. The singer laments the loss of three years of their life spent with their partner, and they cannot seem to pinpoint the exact moment their partner stopped loving them. The chorus is a repetition of the singer's pain and confusion: they were good until suddenly, they weren't, and now they're left wondering why their partner ever wanted to leave them brokenhearted.
The song is relatable to anyone who has been through a painful breakup, and Joan's emotive vocals convey the depth of the singer's heartache. The lyrics capture the frustration of being unable to understand why a relationship fell apart and the difficulty of moving on. The melody is melancholic, perfectly matching the mood of the lyrics and reinforcing the sorrow of the singer's broken heart.

I swear their songs reminds me of music from the late 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s all at the same time.
