I wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Because I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away, you don't feel me here, anymore
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away, you don't feel me here, anymore
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high and steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn and no more left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broke when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
About This Song
"Broken" is a haunting ballad that explores the profound emotional dependency and vulnerability that comes with deep love and loss. The song captures the raw ache of feeling incomplete without someone, with lyrics that express both devotion and the speaker's admission of their own emotional fragility. Musically, it features Seether's signature grunge-influenced sound with softer, more melodic elements that build emotional intensity through restrained verses and a soaring, cathartic chorus. The track stands out for its honest portrayal of codependency and mental health struggles, resonating with listeners who understand what it means to feel "broken" when separated from someone who provides emotional stability. It became one of Seether's most beloved songs, demonstrating how post-grunge could convey intimate emotional truths with both power and sensitivity.
