Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart Lyrics

Every time I stare into the sun
Trying to find a reason to go on
All I ever get is burned and blind
Until the sky bleeds the pouring rain

When you came along the time was right
Pulled me like an apple red and ripe
Wasn't very long you took a bite
And did me wrong, and it serves me right

And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again, again

Every little key unlocks the door
Every little secret has a lie
Tryna take a picture of the sun
And it won't help you to see the light

Every little word upon your lips
Makes a little cut where blood pours out
Every little drop of blood a kiss that I won't miss
Not for anything

And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again
Every single feeling tells me this is leading to a heart
In broken little pieces and you know I need this
Like a hole in the head

Every single feeling tells me this is leading to a heart
In broken little pieces and you know I need this
Like a hole in the head

And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again

And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again

Here we go round again
Here we go round again
Here we go round again

What is the Meaning of Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart?

This poignant piece reflects on the cyclical nature of heartache and healing. The lyrics delve into the pain of a failed relationship, with the protagonist repeatedly being drawn back to memories of his past love despite trying to move forward. The metaphorical references to bleeding hearts and blinding suns underscore the intensity of his emotional turmoil. However, amid this despair, he momentarily forgets his pain, suggesting fleeting moments of respite or distraction. Yet, these are short-lived as he finds himself going 'round again', indicating an ongoing struggle with his heartbreak. This song serves as a reminder that healing is not linear and often involves revisiting past hurts before one can truly move on. #CyclicalHeartache #HealingIsNotLinear
