Broken Heart
Spiritualized;J. Spaceman;Sean Cook;Kate Radley;Roddy Lorime Lyrics

Everything I know about love
My knowledge and experience of love

I learned from you, from you
Came from the lessons and experiences with you

And everything I know about pain
My understanding and familiarity with pain

I learned from you, you
I acquired through the hurt and sorrow you caused

You were my only, you were my first
You were the only person I had and loved, and also the first love I ever had

You showed me lonely, and you took me in when I was hurt
You taught me how it feels to be left alone, but also provided comfort when I was distressed

But the most important thing you ever gave me
The one most significant gift or lesson you provided me

Was the one that hurt the most
Caused me the most pain and suffering

So thank you for the broken heart, oh yeah
Gratitude shown towards you for the broken heart

And thank you for the permanent scar, oh
Acknowledgement of the permanent emotional mark caused by the pain

'Cause if it wasn't for you, I might forget
If not for you, I might fail to recall how it feels to let go and start afresh

How it feels to let go, and how it feels to get a brand new start
The sensation of release and freedom when starting anew after letting go

So thank you for the broken heart
Appreciation shown towards you for what you've done

I still remember when you called
The memory of the time you contacted me

And said that he didn't mean anything
When you claimed that he was insignificant

How could you expect me to look at you
The question of why you thought I could view you in the same way

The same way
As I once did

You were my only but not my last
You were my sole romance, but I've since had others

You showed me lonely, and you made me put you in the past
You taught me what it means to be alone, and you compelled me to leave you in the past

And every time I find myself alone in pieces
When I face isolation and heartbreak

I find myself
I remember and reflect on my past experiences, including those with you

I'll just remember when you hurt me and I made it
Remembrance of the times when you caused me pain and inflicted emotional damage, but I still survived

Cause if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here
Without you, I wouldn't have ended up in my current situation

With the love of my life, all my pain disappear
With the love of my life, all the pain I ever experienced vanishes

I've come so far
Indication of having overcome significant challenges and grown through the experience

I thank you, I thank you
Expression of gratitude

For the broken heart, broken heart
For the painful heartbreak experiences which have allowed growth and learning

For the broken heart
Gratefulness for the broken heart experiences

I'll never have a broken heart again
Resolution of avoiding future heartbreaks and learning from past experiences
