Broken lyrics

kay so this song means everything tooo meee, no joke, it explains everything. guys realize what you have. just know you cant get everything. love what you have, and for you girls dont go crying over a guy becyase they arent worth your tears and when you find someone that is , they wont make you cry [: seriously though , guys arent worth your tears just know , your better than to do that . and hes dumb for doing that to you[: and that your beautiful , i dont care what everyone says about you girls, every single indivual one of you are beautiful. theres always something about someone that makes them pretty or beautiful, you dont have to impress every guy in the girl or impress any guy but you are beautiful and dont let anyone tell you other wise, because theyre stupid, and you dont just have to be drop dead gorgeous but you can be beautiful on the inside too. but just know keep your head high and that you are a beautiful in atleast one type of way.[:

"I took a trip out to Nashville, Tenn. This was actually the last song to make it on the record. I flew out to Nashville with no other intention than to see my friend, who is on a dialysis machine everyday. He basically needs another kidney. He’s going through a second kidney transplant. It broke my heart to see him like that and basically inspired me all at the same time. I hung out with him that day, and I went back to my hotel room, and I was really restless. I just couldn’t sleep. It was one of those songs I really look forward to writing, because it almost wrote itself. I woke up at three in the morning, and I just got out the hotel paper, and I just started writing. It basically happened in 15 minutes, and I hadn’t written a song like that, that happened that fast, since Hanging by a Moment." -Jason Wade

That's what the song means. As the writer said himself.

I don't think its the end of a relationship they are singing about.

Its like when you're with someone and you love them so much, but you're not with them. And it hurts to be with them but it hurts to be without them. So you're falling apart, not breathing, slowly dying, because you can't live like this, but yet, you can't live without them. So you're holding on, and waiting to see what else happens, waiting to see what they will throw you're way.

That's what this song means to me.

If this song is about Christ ("in your name if find meaning"), why not be direct & honest about it? I'm not sure if it is, but I see some of you interpret is as such. So many of these artists with a "gospel/Christian past" hide Christianity in their songs b/c they don't want to be labeled. I thought if you're a Christian you're not supposed to hide it.

i absolutely love this song...to me, it's basically about heartbrakes and all of the pain that you go through...it makes me cry every time that I hear the song...I know, I'm a big baby..
