Cover art for Broken lyrics by Matt Nathanson

OMG!!! So took the words out of my mouth! It's pretty self-explanitory. It's typical about a boy that reassured a girl (or vice-versa) about how their relationship would be perfect and flawless, but they come to find out it was no different than anything else. In the beginning everything was good so they thought it'd remain that way. So now they're at the point of their relationship where it's just silence on both ends of the phone, and they're just waiting for the other to bring up the idea of breaking up.
