Broken
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Broken like me
Maybe that makes me a fool
I like that you're lonely
Lonely like me
I could be lonely with you
I met you late night at a party
By the bathroom you said let's talk
But my confidence is wearing off
These aren't my people
These aren't my friends
She grabbed my face and that's when she said
I like that you're broken
Broken like me
Maybe that makes me a fool
I like that you're lonely
Lonely like me
I could be lonely with you
There's something tragic but almost pure
Think i could love you but i'm not sure
There's something wholesome
There's something sweet
That's in your eyes that I love to meet
These aren't my people
These aren't my friends
She grabbed my face and that's when she said
I like that you're broken
Broken like me
Maybe that makes me a fool
I like that you're lonely
Lonely like me
I could be lonely with you
Life is not a love song that we like
We're all broken pieces floating by
Life is not a love song we can try
To fix our broken pieces one at a time
I like that you're broken
Broken like me
Maybe that makes me a fool
I like that you're lonely
Lonely like me
I could be lonely with you
I like that you're broken
Broken like me
Maybe that makes me a fool
I like that you're lonely
Lonely like me
I could be lonely with you
The song "Broken" by KIDZ BOP Kids talks about two individuals who find a strange, yet comforting companionship in their own brokenness. In the first and second verses, the singer describes how they met their lover at a party but feels out of place with their people and friends. The lover tells the singer that they like their brokenness, and this makes the singer feel like a fool. However, the singer also likes that their lover is lonely, and they could be lonely together.
The chorus repeats the same lines as the lover and singer bond over their brokenness and loneliness. In the bridge, the singer acknowledges that life is not a love song - it is full of broken pieces floating in the air. The last chorus repeats twice, emphasizing the bonding of two broken people that can be lonely together.
From the meaning of the lyrics, it is apparent that the song highlights how people who are broken, especially in emotional or mental ways, can find comfort in one another. The lyrics also show how people can feel out of place with their social circles and can find companionship in the most unlikely places. Additionally, the song emphasizes that life is not perfect, and everyone has their broken pieces they need to fix.
