A Heart Once Broken is a poignant song that tells the story of a chance encounter in an antique store where a girl with soft skin attempts to buy a delicate heart, only for it to shatter before she can take it home. The song explores themes of fragility, resilience, and the bittersweet nature of love and loss, reminding us that while a heart can break, it can also heal in time.
Verse 1:
I walked into that dusty store,
Among the treasures of yore,
A glimmer caught my eye,
A heart wrapped up in lace, oh my.
Chorus:
Was it too heavy for her to bear?
That girl with marshmallow skin and dreamy hair,
It fell and shattered, pieces took flight,
A heart once broken never feels quite right.
Verse 2:
She looked so sad as the glass turned to dust,
A fleeting moment, but oh, it felt so unjust,
A promise whispered, fading like a sonnet,
Before she could own it, she’d lost that comet.
Chorus:
Was it too heavy for her to bear?
That girl with marshmallow skin and dreamy hair,
It fell and shattered, pieces took flight,
A heart once broken never feels quite right.
Bridge:
Before I left the store that day,
A flier caught my eye, what a cliché,
‘If you break it, you own it,’ it read so bold,
Of course you do, you idiot, or so I’m told.
Verse 3:
She’ll be sad, it’s true, but not forever,
Hearts mend slowly, each thread a tether,
But in this moment, she’ll wear her sorrow,
Carrying pieces into tomorrow.
Chorus:
Was it too heavy for her to bear?
That girl with marshmallow skin and dreamy hair,
It fell and shattered, pieces took flight,
A heart once broken never feels quite right.
Outro:
So here’s to the hearts we’ve lost and found,
In antique stores where love’s profound,
A lesson learned, wrapped in hope and light,
A heart once broken can still shine bright.

i went to a store of antiques, saw someone buying a heart. it was a girl, her skin marshmallow soft. was it too heavy for her, i do not know, it fell and broke into many pieces, before she could take it home. she was sad, but won't be forever; but a heart once broken, never comes together. before i left the shop, i saw a flier, saying "if you break it you own it". of course you do, you idiot.
