Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It′s not too late
Oh no
To set things straight, yeah
Smart enough to have me.
Nice, really.
I know you make hurt me are.
It's oh, me, love me and broke my heart.
So I ran away,

Run away.
There′s no reason for you to pretend that you're still.
So I ran away,
Run away.
There's no reason for you to pretend that you′re still.
So I ran away,
Run away.
Run away.
There′s no reason for you to pretend that you're still.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Broken Heart" by St. Louis Mac showcase the emotions of heartbreak and the feelings of betrayal. The singer in the song is addressing their former lover, stating that it is not too late to "set things straight," implying that their relationship ended poorly due to some wrongdoing. The singer then acknowledges that their ex is "smart enough to have me" and "nice, really," but also recognizes that they "hurt me" and "broke my heart." This pain is what led the singer to "run away," as there was "no reason for [the ex] to pretend that [they're] still" together.

The repetition of "run away" in the chorus emphasizes the idea of escape and distancing oneself from the source of pain. The singer does not want to be misled by false hopes of rekindling the relationship, as they know the pain of heartbreak all too well. Despite this, the singer also acknowledges that their ex is someone they loved deeply, saying "it's oh, me, love me and broke my heart." The use of "oh" before these statements conveys a sense of disappointment and disbelief that someone they loved could also cause them so much pain.

Overall, the lyrics to "Broken Heart" express the complex emotions that come with heartbreak, including the pain caused by a once-beloved partner and the desire to move on and escape the hurt.
