Broken Heart
Nelson Freitas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Grey skies, no sun shining
Kept it real with you by my side
You are not feeling me
Oceans so deep, rivers of water
Grey skies, no sun shining
Kept it real with you by my side
You are not feeling me
Started out as friends then became lovers
When we knew in the end
This was not the plan
Now I suffer, cause you suffer
We're both in agony
All of the things that I've could have done
To keep you near
I've been a fool more than once, it's so, so clear
You love me more than I love you
The fact that you're leaving me
Got me feeling confused
Now I got a broken heart, heart, heart
Now I got a broken heart, heart, heart
Now I got a broken heart, heart, heart
Now I got a broken heart, heart, heart
They say, you never know what you got
Until it's gone
That's true, that's true, so true
And they say, you never miss your water
Till your well runs dry
So true, so true
All of the things that I've could have done
To keep you near
I've been a fool more than once, it's so, so clear
You love me more than I love you
The fact that you're leaving me
Got me feeling confused
x 2
Now I got a broken heart, heart, heart
Now I got a broken heart, heart, heart
Now I got a broken heart, heart, heart
Now I got a broken heart, heart, heart
And I don't know what to do.

Line by Line Meaning
Oceans so deep, rivers of water
The depth and vastness of my sadness are immeasurable
Grey skies, no sun shining
Life is bleak and depressing without you
Kept it real with you by my side
I was always honest and true to you
You are not feeling me
You don't understand or empathize with me
Cause I was not feeling weak
I refused to show vulnerability or weakness to you
Started out as friends then became lovers
Our relationship began as a strong friendship before turning romantic
When we knew in the end
We both understood that our love couldn't last forever
This was not the plan
Our separation was unexpected and not part of our original intentions
Now I suffer, cause you suffer
We're both in pain over our breakup
All of the things that I've could have done
I regret not taking more action to keep us together
To keep you near
In order to prevent our breakup from happening
I've been a fool more than once, it's so, so clear
I've made many mistakes in our relationship and can now see them clearly
You love me more than I love you
You were more invested in our relationship than I was
The fact that you're leaving me
Your decision to end things is causing me great pain
Got me feeling confused
I'm struggling to understand and accept what's happening
Now I got a broken heart, heart, heart
My heart is shattered into pieces
They say, you never know what you got
It's often only after losing something that we realize how important it was
Until it's gone
Once it's already too late to salvage
And they say, you never miss your water
We tend to take things for granted until they're no longer available to us
Till your well runs dry
We don't appreciate the things we have until they're gone
x 2
And I don't know what to do.
I feel lost and helpless, unsure of how to move on
