There’s No Insurance For a Broken Heart
Ryan Woods Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm scared you'll drop me and I'll fall apart
But I'm sure the future will have robots and flying cars
But still no insurance for a broken heart
I can't wait for airplanes to fly on their own
Or maybe we'll just teleport wherever we go
But I can't imagine the future without you
And I know something's been scaring you
But time won't wait for you (wait!)
If you leave at the start, then you'll miss the best part
'Cause there's no insurance for a broken heart
World wars and airports and Gucci cologne
All the things I hate about the world that we know
I just think this Earth would be much crazier without our dreams
Isn't it an irony that I can't move on?
And I know something's been scaring you
But time won't wait for you (wait!)
If you leave at the start, then you'll miss the best part
'Cause there's no insurance for a broken
What if the all stars combust
And nothing else is left of us?
And all our dreams are turned to dust
What will you do?
And it's on my mind, all day, 365
And it'd kill me inside
To do nothing, then die
'Cause we're all gonna die
So if you leave at the start
Then you'll miss the best part
'Cause there's no insurance for a broken heart
Ryan Woods's song, There's No Insurance For a Broken Heart, talks about the uncertainty that comes with love and relationships. The title of the song itself explains the central theme of the lyrics, which is that there is no way to protect oneself from the emotional pain of a broken heart. The lyrics express the fear of losing someone, and the hope that technology will progress to the point where anything is possible- even flying cars and time travel- but it won't change the fact that heartbreak is inevitable.
The song then moves on to talk about the singer's attachment to the person in question. They cannot imagine a future without them, indicating the level of their commitment to the relationship. The singer then gets straight to the point about how easy it is to miss the best moments in life if you decide to leave early- and it is a possibility that you will regret for life. The song also touches on the importance of dreams and how necessary they are to make life worth living.
Interestingly, Ryan Woods does not sugarcoat what life brings and paints a grim picture of the future with Scary World wars, dark perfumes, and other negatives. Yet, he asserts that love and relationships are necessary in life, without which life is incomplete.

I just think this Earth would be much crazier without our dreams
Our hopes and aspirations make life more interesting

'Cause there's no insurance for a broken heart
You can't protect yourself from emotional pain
