Where Do Broken Hearts Go
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know it's been sometime
But there is something on my mind
You see I haven't been the same
Since that cold November day
We said we needed space
But all we found was an empty place
And the only things I've learned
Is that I need you desperately
So here I am, and can you please tell me....

Where do broken hearts go
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms of a love that's waiting there
And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care for me

I've been around enough to know
That dreams don't turn to gold
And that there is no easy way
No you just can't run away
And what we had was so much more
Than we ever had before
And no matter how I try
I can't get you of my mind
So here I am, and can you please tell me

Where do broken hearts go
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms of a love that's waiting there
And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care for me

Now that I am here with you
I'll never let you go
I look into your eyes
And now I know
Now I know

Where do broken hearts go
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms of a love that's waiting there
And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care for me





For me, yeah yeah, yeaaaaaah

Overall Meaning

The song "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes is a heartfelt ballad that speaks to the pain and confusion of lost love. The singer in the song is addressing a former lover, asking if broken hearts ever find their way back home. The opening lines suggest that the breakup has been weighing on the singer's mind for some time, and they still haven't fully recovered. The line "since that cold November day" implies that the breakup happened in the past, but the pain is still very real.


The chorus of the song contains the central question: where do broken hearts go? Can they ever find their way back to the open arms of a former love? The singer expresses the hope that someone who loves you will always love you, and that their former partner still cares for them.


The second verse suggests that the singer has been through some disappointments in life and learned some hard lessons about chasing dreams. But the love they shared with their former partner was something special, and they can't get them out of their mind. The final verse suggests that the singer and their former partner have reunited, and they now know that their love is the home where broken hearts can find refuge.
