Broken Heart
trey pearson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

How’ve you been?
I’m learning to build my life without you
You’re not around
Anymore

Soaking in
What it’s like to grieve this loss
Before you’re gone
Is there a cure?

I think I walked past you on Grandview Avenue
I knew
I didn’t want you to see me
Cause then it just hurts more

Why couldn’t you love me for who I am?
Don’t you know the feel of pain from a broken heart?
Could it ever be the same?
Could you come around again?
Or was the love you felt for me not who you are?

I’m moving on
I’ll try to remember how you loved me
When I was young
Such a broken son

Should I pretend
To be someone that you could love
That you’re proud of
Someone who is enough

The hard part is my life is better than it
Ever was
I just wish that
You could be here
I wish you could see me here

Why couldn’t you love me for who I am?
Don’t you know the feel of pain from a broken heart?
Could it ever be the same?
Could you come around again?
Or was the love you felt for me not who you are?

I think I’m giving up on you ever giving a damn
You know I cannot change who I am
It’s not enough for you

I think I’m giving up on you ever giving a damn
You know I cannot change who I am
It’s not enough for you

Why couldn’t you love me for who I am?
Don’t you know the feel of pain from a broken heart?
Could it ever be the same?




Could you come around again?
Or was the love you felt for me not who you are?
