Broken Heart
Know-U Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As we carried boxes down the hall
One by one put them in your car
Nothing much for us to say
One last goodbye and you drove away
I watched your tail-lights
As they faded in the dark
I couldn't face the night in that lonely bed
Last night I prayed the lord my soul to keep
Then I cried myself to sleep
So sure life wouldn't go on without you
But oh this sun is blinding me
As it wakes me from the dark I guess the world didn't stop
For my broken heart
Clock still tickin', life goes on
Radio still plays a song
As I try to put my scattered thoughts in place
And it takes all the strength I've got
To stumble to the coffee pot
The first many lonely mornings
I've got to face
You call to see if I'm ok
Look out the window and I just say
Last night I prayed the lord my soul to keep
Then I cried myself to sleep
So sure life wouldn't go on without you
But oh this sun is blinding me
As it wakes me from the dark I guess the world didn't stop
For my broken heart
I guess the world ain't gonna stop
For my broken heart
In the song "Broken Heart" by Know-U, the lyrics depict the aftermath of a breakup and the emotional struggle of moving on. The song describes a seemingly amicable separation, with no angry words exchanged as both parties pack their belongings and part ways. However, the singer is overcome with sadness and loneliness, unable to face the night in an empty bed. Instead, they find solace on the couch but still yearn for their former partner.
The lyrics further express the singer's struggle to continue with their daily life. Despite the heartbreak, time keeps moving forward, and the world continues to function without pause for their pain. The clock continues ticking, the radio continues playing, and the singer tries their best to gather their thoughts and carry on. It takes immense strength for them to even make a cup of coffee in the mornings, facing the loneliness that greets them day after day.
Ultimately, the lyrics symbolize the harsh reality that life continues despite personal heartbreak. The world doesn't stop for anyone, and as the sun rises, it shines a blinding light on the singer, forcing them to acknowledge that their broken heart doesn't put a halt to the world's motion.

There were no angry words at all
We didn't argue or exchange any harsh words
As we carried boxes down the hall
While we were moving our belongings through the hallway
One by one put them in your car
We loaded the boxes into your car, one after another
Nothing much for us to say
There wasn't much to talk about or discuss
One last goodbye and you drove away
We said our final goodbye and you left
I watched your tail-lights
I observed the fading lights of your car's tail-lights
As they faded in the dark
As they gradually disappeared into the darkness
I couldn't face the night in that lonely bed
I couldn't bear the thought of spending the night alone in that bed
So I laid down on the couch instead
Therefore, I chose to lay down on the couch instead of the bed
Last night I prayed the lord my soul to keep
Yesternight, I prayed to the Lord to protect my soul
Then I cried myself to sleep
Afterwards, I wept until I fell asleep
So sure life wouldn't go on without you
I was so certain that life couldn't continue without you
But oh this sun is blinding me
However, the brightness of the sunlight is overwhelming me
As it wakes me from the dark I guess the world didn't stop
As the sunlight awakens me from the darkness, it seems that the world didn't come to a halt
For my broken heart
Just because I have a broken heart
Clock still tickin', life goes on
The clock continues ticking and life keeps moving forward
Radio still plays a song
The radio continues playing a song
As I try to put my scattered thoughts in place
While I attempt to organize my disarrayed thoughts
And it takes all the strength I've got
It requires all the strength I possess
To stumble to the coffee pot
In order to reach the coffee pot clumsily
The first many lonely mornings
The initial consecutive mornings full of loneliness
I've got to face
I have to confront
You call to see if I'm ok
You call to check if I am alright
Look out the window and I just say
I glance out the window and simply respond
I guess the world ain't gonna stop
I suppose the world won't cease its motion
For my broken heart
On behalf of my shattered heart

I had a sort of strange realization last night about my experience with heartbreak as I was going to bed, and when I awoke I saw this in my subscription feed.
My relationship was not healthy, so I was feeling messed up even when I was still in it. I knew it wasn’t right, but I couldn’t stop trying my best. Eventually it reached a point that it simply broke down. After that we tried to be friends (long distance so that’s somewhat easier not actually seeing each other) for around a year before I decided to step away.
My experience was that the relationship was unhealthy in such a way that it left me psychologically and emotionally a wreck, even while still together. The healing process was very long and it involved working through what felt like actual trauma and grief (related to that in the vid for sure).
Month after month after month after month I kept feeling like I would heal up pretty nicely, realize it was actually deeper than I thought, heal up some more, nope, okay now I’m feeling pretty close to healing, psych! it’s still this bad, feeling better, okay I feel like I’m getting to the end now, eughhh but it still hurts this much, I’m getting over it tho, okay whenever I process the pain it seems to be getting shallower now instead of deeper and deeper all the time, okay I think I’m over it, oof okay no I wasn’t but this was a breakthrough, I might be over it, okay I didn’t know I was still holding on to that, ahh I feel much better now. I think I’m really over it as much as I ever will be, nope okay it seems I missed a spot that I have to work on now, but there seems to be more peace now. Okay I think this is it.
Then my ex must’ve been missing me too because I was getting calls from random numbers that would hang up as soon as they heard my voice (long story, but I knew what was going on). That happened over a period of months too. Then one day I get a call from my ex outright, who ‘just wants to catch up’ which made me feel a little bit conflicted but also genuinely really glad (as long as it was relatively brief). It seems this was all engineered as part of a plan to tell me about their significant other’s birthday party that they went too, which I immediately saw through as an attempt to tell me there was someone else now. In honestly didn’t really care much myself and hoped they were happy. I think my ex got pissed off that I didn’t react stronger tho cuz I all but got hung up on immediately after. A couple nights later I realized I cared more than I originally thought, but it honestly wasn’t too bad at all
None of that is the weird part!
So I thought that everything I had gone through from the pain (including physical aches and pains, mostly in the chest, as well as not eating properly for a little while at the height of all of this) to the acceptance and the healing was me healing from a broken heart. I kind of implicitly assumed that what a broken heart meant was that there was this really intense emotional/psychological sense of pain and loss to the point that one actually feels broken, both internally as well as that brokenness presenting itself physically. I thought that all what I just described was my story of heartbreak, if you will.
But last night as I was going to bed, for some reason the term heartbreak popped into my mind. It’s hard to describe specifically, but it was like there were these flashes of memories in my mind from my own heart break experiences (some, again, before we even broke up), my ex telling me about how I broke their heart with such conviction in their voice, and all manner of images and remembered words and flashes of memories shooting before my eyes for what seemed like longer but was probably some number of seconds.
It was in that experience and my thoughts immediately following that I thought I felt some deeper understanding of what the words broken heart really meant. I felt like, although I had already processed this all for so long and reached such a profound level of healing, that my pain and trauma and loss had basically completely gone away yet my heart was still broken somehow, somewhere. It’s like all the pain and suffering that I thought of as the heartbreak itself was just a result or a symptom of the heartbreak, which was an underlying issue.
The heartbreak itself in this experience, logically and/or semantically valid or not, felt not exactly like pain (although there was still pain there). I thought “heart” break was emotional in the sense of heart’s connection to emotions, but I realize that “heart” isn’t referring to just that but to the entirety of one’s inner being. My heart, as in my emotions, had healed probably as much as possible or close to it, but part of my heart, as in my inner self as a whole, was still broken over some things, and that mainly seemed to be loss. Loss of a very special person to me; loss of a friend; loss of someone I could tell I love you too whenever I wanted, even if it made no sense; loss of someone I could be physically intimate with (kissing is so nice ☺️ and my ex is a cuddler) that I cared so much for as a person and someone I wanted to see become their best self along with me, both independently and together; and it felt not only like the loss of what we had but the loss of any and all potential futures that we had together. Any beautiful thing I could imagine. It felt like a reminder of the reality of the legitimate bad in our relationship and how it logistically would pose problems to whatever I could imagine, but at the same time I felt hope that people grow and that I don’t know that it’s all impossible, which made it sting even more as I had to decide once again to set aside those possibilities and think to myself that whether they are possible or not is not something for me to wrestle with right now. It felt like not wanting to set them aside out of fear that I’d lose them, and blind faith that everything would turn out well regardless.
Heartbreak now, to me, means much more than pain, loss, distress, and even grief. Those are certainly a part of it, but I see them as the symptoms. Some people treat the symptoms (like with drinking or drugs), but healing comes from treating the underlying issues, processing them, allowing yourself to experience that stuff in a healthy way, and eventually being able to carry on. And it goes way, way beyond the (relatively modern) notion that “heart” refers to the emotions. Make no mistake, I’m here to tell you that in my experience and maybe yours that this is not merely an emotional problem that can get so bad that it spills over into the psychological and even the physical. This is a condition that fundamentally affects your entire inner being. This is super important because if it’s treated primarily as an emotional issue, the treatment will be found lacking. If it helps to think about it as soulbreak instead, or simply brokenness (of the self), than I urge you to do that. Getting at the root of the entire condition is KEY to dealing with it properly and healing properly.
And if you’re reading this with a broken heart: it gets worse before it gets better. Even when you think you’re coming out of it, you may realize it’s still worse than you think. That’s perfectly normal. You’re not gonna heal overnight, so don’t even worry about how long it takes. Just take it one step at a time and see where it gets you. Just focus on allowing yourself to experience the heartbreak instead of pushing it away, allow yourself to process those experiences, and learn to notice the little incremental breakthroughs even if you don’t feel healed yet. And whatever you do, don’t forget to give yourself breaks when you need ‘em. You don’t wanna suppress this stuff, but that doesn’t mean you need to obsess either. Giving yourself space and breathing room in between is crucial too, so you don’t have to feel bad about it. My advice is to embrace the whole process, even when it sucks. You will get through this, one step at a time. You may not feel like you’re getting anywhere in the midst of it or feel like you can’t see a way out, but it’s important to put a little faith into it and keep on trying your best, even if the best you can do is to forget about it for a while and treat yourself to a nice dinner and/or take a warm bath
This was longer than I intended, but if you read this far than I hope this helps you one day. Whether you’ve never had a broken heart or are facing one right now, I sincerely hope something here sticks with you and provides you peace. The kind of peace that can remain at peace even when things are tumultuous. It may sound kinda crazy and super clichéd at this point, but I want you to know that I’m thinking about who you may be right now and my heart is going out to you as I type this. I want you to know that I love you, and my hope lives with you that you will receive good in your life, even in ways you never expected it to come. Be well, friend.

you have to accept the pain.
if you don't. you leave your inner child, and become two people. become fake
tough, charismatic to compensate
then you kill your inner child by resisting him
and the outer you. the one you built strong, dies too.
I remember how my heart hurt the worst. but every time it got less painful. I eventually didn't feel much. and even tried to keep it that way. killing my emotions.
now I'm Spiritually dead. I enjoy almost nothing. I'm less human. I lost empathy and love. fear and pain are what's left.
listen to my warning!
accept the pain.
realize it's not your fault, and you have to keep going. be honest. be real. be vulnerable and love. think good thoughts.
look at my name
I became evil. and died
but I'm still here.
let me tell you, love and being soft is a gift. don't waste it or you'll lose it and yourself forever.

Happy Sunday everyone! We just saw a comment from one of you that you are dealing with a broken heart, so we decided it's time to release this video. Hopefully, those who are going through something similar finds this helpful. Also, our friend Yuri did a very good video on how to reduce stress by not staying present: https://youtu.be/I2MKWqErbSo. The concept is quite intriguing. Give it a watch!
