Broken Heart
R.J. Linton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I learned from you, from you
And everything I know about pain
I learned from you, you
You were my only, you were my first
You showed me lonely, and you took me in when I was hurt
But the most important thing you ever gave me
So thank you for the broken heart, oh yeah
And thank you for the permanent scar, oh
'Cause if it wasn't for you, I might forget
How it feels to let go, and how it feels to get a brand new start
So thank you for the broken heart
I still remember when you called
And said that he didn't mean anything
How could you expect me to look at you
The same way
You were my only but not my last
You showed me lonely, and you made me put you in the past
But the most important thing you ever gave me
Was the one that hurt the most
So thank you for the broken heart, oh yeah
And thank you for the permanent scar, oh
'Cause if it wasn't for you, I might forget
How it feels to let go, and how it feels to get a brand new start
So thank you for the broken heart
And every time I find myself alone in pieces
I find myself
I'll just remember when you hurt me and I made it
So thank you for the broken heart
And thank you for the permanent scar
Cause if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here
With the love of my life, all my pain disappear
I've come so far
So thank you for the broken heart
I thank you, I thank you
For the broken heart, broken heart
For the broken heart
I'll never have a broken heart again
The lyrics to R.J. Linton's song "Broken Heart" tell a story of a person who learned everything they know about love and pain from a former partner. The first verse speaks to the idea that this person's entire understanding of these two powerful emotions was shaped by the experience they had with this individual. The initial relationship was one that was full of hurt, but it was also one that they leaned on when they were feeling lost or broken.
The chorus of the song changes the tone slightly, and the lyrics are written as a thank-you letter to this person for giving them the gift of a broken heart. They acknowledge that although it was a painful experience, they would not be where they are today without it. The broken heart and the resulting scar were necessary lessons that enabled them to understand what it means to let go and start anew. The bridge of the song speaks to the idea that although they have been hurt and have had to put themselves back together, they emerged stronger and more resilient for having gone through the experience.
This song is a powerful message to anyone who has been through a difficult breakup or has experienced heartbreak in any form. It reminds us that even though these experiences can be painful, they can also teach us valuable lessons. The song speaks to the idea that, as painful as heartbreak may be, it can make us stronger, more resilient, and better equipped to handle future relationships.

It is so distasteful to use someone who is still alive in the thumbnail when the subject is about deceased stars.
