about

When we are broken inside, sometimes it is hard to reach out for help or accept help. Instead we tend to hide/ignore the pain. I wrote this song “ A Broken Piece of My Heart” to remind those who hold the pain, to reach out for, and accept help. Also, to remind those who might come across people who are hurt, to try to understand them and reach out to help them.

lyrics

A broken piece of my heart
Hurts me like a paper cut
Then I will keep telling myself
It is nothing, nothing
I can just keep fooling myself
Even when it hurts me like that
Nobody can see through my heart
It is nothing, nothing

But it sometimes stops me from telling you the truth
It sometimes stops me from being close to you
It sometimes stops me from telling you how I really feel about you
It was just tiny, a tiny piece of my heart
I thought that nothing could be affected at all
But now it stops me from reaching out to you to tell you I need you

Why do I feel so lonely
Why do I treat you so coldly
Why my eyes feel cloudy
When you touch my heart
Why do I feel so lonely
When you treat me so kindly
A broken piece of my heart keeps coming back to me

A broken piece of my heart
Hurts me like a paper cut
Then I will keep telling myself
It is nothing, nothing
I can just keep fooling myself
Even when it hurts me like that
Nobody can see through my heart
It is nothing, nothing

But it sometimes stops me from telling you the truth
It sometimes stops me from being close to you
It sometimes stops me from telling you how I really feel about you
It was just tiny, a tiny piece of my heart
I thought that nothing could be affected at all
But now it stops me from reaching out to you to tell you I need you

Why do I feel so lonely
Why do I treat you so coldly
Why my eyes feel cloudy
When you touch my heart
Why do I feel so lonely
When you treat me so kindly
A broken piece of my heart keeps coming back to me
