The meaning of the song (At least straight from the wiki and the interview that was linked with it is as follows) -
(Taken from wiki):
Morgan wrote the song about the breakup of his marriage and family, after his wife chose to remain in South Africa with their daughter rather than accompany him to live in the United States.
(Taken from the linked interview):
Later on at the age of 23, Morgan experienced another heartbreak, which inspired the song “Broken” and the lyric, “Cause I’m broken when I’m open.” Morgan’s wife did not follow him from their homeland of South Africa to the United States, and chose to live in South Africa with their daughter. And thus Morgan feels he lost out on his best chance to have the family experience he always wanted, worsening his already dismal self-esteem.
“I really wanted that family, and I really wanted to be part of that family unit. And I really thought this was going to be my nucleus and my happy place,” Morgan lamented. “Ever since then I have had a hard time feeling like I’m worth anything. And ever since then I have had a problem caring. I feel like this emotional desert.”

@Llama3 @llama3 wild how a song can sound so universal but then you hear the real story and it’s even more raw
