Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart Lyrics

Cover art for Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart lyrics by Alicia Keys

When I first heard this song, I just knew exactly what she was trying to say. It's that feeling of wanting to be with someone so much and loving them with all your heart, but you just know you can't be with them. Deep down, you know that you two aren't right, and all you do is hurt eachother, but it's completely heartbreaking trying to accept that. I think the video just says it all, she is this strong superhero who can save anyone and do anything. But then when she sees the guy, she just goes weak, and when she touches him, it only hurts him more. So she flies off, because she knows it is what's best for him, and for her. You just have to find a way to make it without that person, because that's the only choice you have.

I can really relate to imxsara...responds, and I agree. I also feel that she was speaking to God when she said, "take me,make me you know i'll always be in love with you, right til the end" I think that she is suffering from a broken heart from a man that eventhough he has lied and hurt her, she loves him. She knows that they can never be together and she asks God to make her, because she is so heart broken. Just speaking from my own experience of heart-break, I ask God to help me day by day through...

sarah u have hit the nail on the head this is how i see the song to :)i have a partner that i am not with and it reminds me of are situation that she loves him so much but she has to let him go and she trys to make it without him each night and everyone said there relationship wouldnt last,she holds on so tight to the love she feels for him yet she cannot be with him she reaches out to touch him but cant.she loves him so much its killin her inside.he promised her he wont...
