Cross My Broken Heart
Nelson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It`s a good day for a sad song
'Cause the rain is fallin` and someone is saying "Good-bye"
Close the door when you leave
'Cause there`s a cold wind blowin' and it`s bringin' tears to my eyes

After you go, I guess I'll never know where you've run
Will you try to disguise how you're dyin inside?
Well, then you'll be the only one

Oh, I will get over you someday
Though, I never loved you anyway
And when you're gone my whole world won`t fall apart
I swear, cross my broken heart

Word gets 'round in this small talk town
But I`ll stand my ground and I won`t even ask where you`ve gone to
When they play a song 'bout a love gone wrong
And you see me cryin', well, that don`t mean I miss you

When I said I was crazy for you I was out of my mind
When the smokes clears I`ll see it was not meant to be
Yeah, I will be just fine

Oh, I will get over you someday
Though, I never loved you anyway
And when you're gone my whole world won`t fall apart
I swear, cross my broken heart

By the second Tuesday of never I promise
That I will be just fine
Oh, yes, I will

Oh, I will get over you someday
Though, I never loved you anyway




And when you`re gone my whole world won't fall apart
I swear, cross my broken heart

Overall Meaning

The song "Cross My Broken Heart" is a bitter-sweet tale of heartbreak and moving on. The opening line, "It's a good day for a sad song" sets the melancholy tone of the track, suggesting that the singer is trying to come to terms with their heartbreak in the middle of a rainy day. The verse tells the story of a lover leaving, and the singer lamenting their departure, closing the door behind them as they leave. The chorus suggests that the singer is trying to convince themselves that they will be fine, although they never really loved their former partner. The second verse asserts that the singer is ready to move on, and that they will eventually feel better.


The bridge of the song is one of the most powerful moments. The singer vows that they will be "just fine" by the "second Tuesday of never". This is a poetic way of saying they will be okay someday, maybe even when time no longer matters, suggesting that the feelings associated with the heartbreak will eventually dissipate, but not necessarily fade away entirely. The song itself is a beautiful composition of guitar, drums, and bass, and the slower tempo fits the melancholic mood of the lyrics. Despite the sadness of the message, the melody is clean and clear, with a hopeful tinge, providing a sense of solace to listeners.

TRANCAREI MEU CORAÇÃO PARTIDO

É um dia bom para uma canção triste
Pois a chuva cai e alguem está dizendo adeus
Feche a porta quando sair
Pois há um vento frio soprando e trazendo lágrimas aos meus olhos

Depois que você partir, suponho que nunca saberei para onde você foi
Você irá tentar disfarçar o quanto está morrendo por dentro?
Bom, então você será a única

(Refrão)
Ah.. Um dia irei me recuperar de você
Embora, eu nunca tenha te amado mesmo
E quando você se for, meu mundo não vai se despedaçar inteiro
Eu juro, trancarei meu coração partido

As palavras se espalham facilmente nessa pequena cidade
Mas eu vou me manter no chão e não vou nem mesmo perguntar para onde você foi
Quando tocarem uma música sobre um amor que deu errado
E você me ver chorar, saiba que, isso não significa que sinto sua falta

Quando lhe disse que era louco por você eu estava perturbado
Quando a fumaça se esvair, verei que não era mesmo pra ser
É.. eu vou ficar bem

(Refrão)
E na segunda terça-feira eu juro
Que ficarei bem
Ah sim.. eu ficarei

These guys are just amazing. They always have been. I wish they were still as big as they were back then. Rock just isn't the same as it used to be. This song is great.
