Broken Up Again Lyrics

If your eyes are the window to your soul
If the rules of nature weren't so cruel
Give me a chance and I'll try to explain

The pictures on my wall are fading
Those unknown pleasures I was made in
Always brooding on all the damage done

Tell me, how many times can a man stifle a cry?
Stop himself from waving goodbye?
Wave goodbye

I am all broken up again
I'll take it with humility
For the world that never welcomed me

If your eyes are the window to your soul
If the rules of nature weren't so cruel
Give me a chance and I'll try to explain

The pictures on my wall are fading
Those unknown pleasures I was made in
Always brooding on all the damage done

Tell me, how many times can a man stifle a cry?
Stop himself from waving goodbye?

I am all broken up again
I'll take it with humility
For the world that never welcomed me

I am all broken up again
I'll take it with humility
For the world that never welcomed me

I am all broken up again
I'll take it with humility
For the world that never welcomed me

I am all broken up again
I'll take it with humility
For the world that never welcomed me

If your eyes are the window to your soul
If the rules of nature weren't so cruel
Give me a chance and I'll try to explain

The pictures on my wall are fading
Those unknown pleasures I was made in
Always brooding on all the damage done

Tell me, how many times can a man stifle a cry?
Stop himself from waving goodbye?
Wave goodbye

I am all broken up again
I'll take it with humility
For the world that never welcomed me

If your eyes are the window to your soul
If the rules of nature weren't so cruel
Give me a chance and I'll try to explain

The pictures on my wall are fading
Those unknown pleasures I was made in
Always brooding on all the damage done

Tell me, how many times can a man stifle a cry?
Stop himself from waving goodbye?

I am all broken up again
I'll take it with humility
For the world that never welcomed me

I am all broken up again
I'll take it with humility
For the world that never welcomed me

I am all broken up again
I'll take it with humility
For the world that never welcomed me

I am all broken up again
I'll take it with humility
For the world that never welcomed me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
