I'm a Broken Heart
The Bird and the Bee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wipe my tears away, away, I try, I try, I try, I try
Wish, wish for the summer dawn to pour all the undone
I wipe my tears away, away
I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try
I'll try to make love best as happiness
My love is bleeding
I'm a broken heart, I'm a broken heart, I'm a broken heart
An empty feeling
I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try
I'll try to make you worth much more of love
All, all of our moments have just become elements
I'm hunting all of everyday, I try, I try, I try, I try
Ache, aching and teething mind, big love is bleeding
I think I might be dying
I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try
I'll try to make love best as happiness
I'm a broken heart, I'm a broken heart, I'm a broken heart
My love is bleeding
I'm a broken heart, I'm a broken heart, I'm a broken heart
An empty feeling
I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try
I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try
I'm a broken heart, I'm a broken heart, I'm a broken heart
My love is bleeding
I'm a broken heart, I'm a broken heart, I'm a broken heart
An empty feeling
I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try
I try, I try, I try, I try
The lyrics to The Bird and the Bee's song "I'm a Broken Heart" express the pain and heartbreak of a person who is unable to be with the one they love. The first verse conveys the futility and desperation of the situation, with the singer realizing that no matter how much they want to cry, it won't change the reality that they can't have the person they desire. However, they make an effort to wipe away their tears and keep trying to find a way to cope with the loss.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on memories of happier times with their love and longs for those moments to return. They are haunted by images of their former lover and feel that they are slowly dying inside. Yet, despite their pain, they are determined to make the most of what remains of their love and try to find happiness in it.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm a broken heart" to emphasize the singer's emotional state and the damage that has been done to their psyche. They feel a sense of emptiness and loss, but still hold onto hope that they can make things better and find some measure of joy in their life.

@rotatingwah
this is so deliciously addictive. i think i've happily listened to this about 26,000 times.
@iamjozezito
Extráñamente, más allá de que esta canción me "rompa el corazón", me hace sentir más enamorado.
@blindanniversary
"My love is bleeding" brilliant! this one line explains my exact feelings.
@TheTrombonist33
Just when I thought this song couldn't get any better, there was a trombone solo. Awesome!
@Orest9
beautiful.. when i listen to them i have feeling like im on the big green field, laying on the sun & just doing nothing.. no worries, no problems, no bad things..

I just discovered the bird and the bee this summer but I love them so much! There are still a few songs I haven't heard yet but I think they're generally amazing. Also I am very in love with the verses of this song.

"If you got an emotion, you got to set it free...." Especially true when you break up. The Divinyls sang about temptation, not a broken heart, but the prescription is the same. We need to move on and try again. The empty feeling can be filled. Inara is charming, no matter what she sings.
