This Broken Heart
The Mavericks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because I don't want it to
You came along and showed me
I was wrong
To think that I could never love you
Every time I run away
I know you'll always stay
This broken heart will wear the pain she bore
With you my heart won't break anymore
Every time I run away
I know you'll always stay
This broken heart
Will wear the pain she bore
With you my heart won't break anymore
No, with you my heart won't break anymore
The Mavericks' "This Broken Heart" is a song that describes a man who has been hurt so many times that he has lost his faith in love. He believes that his heart is broken beyond repair, and he is resigned to a life without love. However, when he meets someone who shows him that love is still possible, he realizes that he was wrong. He realizes that, with this person, he can trust again and that there is still hope for him.
The lyrics are simple and straightforward, but they capture the complex emotions that come with being hurt repeatedly. They convey the idea that love is risky and vulnerable, but it is also a source of great joy and fulfillment. The man in the song has been through a lot, but he is willing to give love another chance because he has found someone special.
In a sense, this song is a celebration of love and the power it has to heal even the most broken of hearts. It portrays the idea that, even though we might have been hurt in the past, we should never give up on love because it has the ability to transform our lives in ways that we cannot imagine.
