Brokenhearted
Karminㅰ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Felt the jones in my bones when you were touching me, oh oh
Didn't want to take it slow
In a daze, going crazed, I can barely think
You're replaying in my brain, find it hard to sleep, oh oh
Waiting for my phone to blow
Now I'm here in a sticky situation
Five minutes, ten minutes, now it's been an hour
Don't wanna think too hard, but I'm sour
Oh oh, I can't seem to let you go
See I've been waiting all day
For you to call me baby
So let's get up, let's get on it
Don't you leave me broken hearted tonight
Come on, that's right
Honest baby I'll do
Anything you want to
So can we finish what we started
Don't you leave me broken hearted tonight
Come on, that's right, cheerio
What's the time, such a crime
Not a single word, sipping on that Patron
Just to calm my nerves, oh oh
Poppin' bottles by the phone
Oh yeah
Had me up, had me down, turn me inside out
That's enough, hold me up
Maybe I'm in doubt, oh oh
Now don't even think you know, no no
See I've been waiting all day
For you to call me baby
So let's get up, let's get on it
Don't you leave me broken hearted tonight
Come on, that's right
Honest baby I'll do
Anything you want to
So can we finish what we started
Don't you leave me broken hearted tonight
Come on, that's right, cheerio
Anything you wanna do, I'll be on it too
Everything you say, it's like a gold with a view
Business on the front, party in the back
Maybe I was wrong, was the outfit really wack
This kinda thing doesn't happen usually
I'm on the opposite side of it, truthfully
I know you want it so come and get it, cheerio
See I've been waiting all day
For you to call me baby
So let's get up, let's get on it
Don't you leave me broken hearted tonight
Oh oh oh oh
Honest baby I'll do
Anything you want to
So can we finish what we started
Don't you leave me broken hearted tonight
Come on, that's right, cheeri, cheeri, cheerio
When you gonna call
Don't leave me broken hearted
I've been waiting up
Let's finish what we started, oh oh
I can't seem to let you go
Come on, that's right, cheerio, uh!
The lyrics of "Brokenhearted" by Karmin tell a story about a person who is caught up in a sticky situation due to their intense attraction to someone they have been seeing. The singer expresses how she is unable to get the person out of her head, and is eagerly waiting for them to call. The wait is driving her insane and she is struggling to remain calm. The person's hesitant behavior is causing her to feel sour and worried. She is drinking to calm her nerves, but it is not helping her situation. The chorus is a plea to her lover to complete what they have started and not leave her heartbroken.
The verses are indicative of the singer's uneasy state of mind as she finds herself hopelessly caught up in her lover's charm. Despite her troubled state of mind, she is willing to go the extra mile to keep the person's attention - even if it means changing her outfit. The song's narrative voice is that of a person who is lost in a situation they cannot control, and the chorus is her attempt to regain her power by urging her lover not to leave her heartbroken.
Overall, the song aims to capture the struggle of someone who is caught up in a passionate yet complicated romantic entanglement. The lyrics, when combined with the song's upbeat pop sound, make for an evocative and relatable musical experience.

Nostalgia is the best and worst feeling at the same time
@user7863
True.
@amokay746
Fun fact: Nostalgia originally meant to feel the pain from an old wound, so what you're feeling is remarkably appropriate.
@AML147
Probs a mix of nostalgia and wistfulness
