broken glass by J. Paris (2024)

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

She got broken hearts like it's broken glass
She said that she had loved, now the love won't last
Told you that I'm sorry if you got regrets
But I don't 'pologize you could stay upset

Won't apologize, I don't have regrets
Know you shedding you tears, I ain't broke no sweat
Gave you memories that you can't forget
And you coming back guess you ain't done yet (Oh)

You got used like I was used too
You got used just like I used to
I got bruised now you got bruised too
Narc for the pain we gon' take two

You got used like I was used too
You got used just like I used to
I got bruised bruised now you got bruised too
Narc for the pain we gon' take two

Won't apologize I don't have regrets
Know you shedding you tears, I ain't broke no sweat
Gave you memories that you can't forget
Now you coming back cuz you ain't done yet

She can't live without the dick (Oh no)
Told me that she done with this (Oh no)
Why you coming back for flicks (Oh no)
Now you getting played for kicks (Oh yeah)

I told you I love you was f*cking with you
I told you I love you I was messing with your mind
Told you you special I was lying to you
I told you that you the only one and I had lied

Said you was my baby I was fabricating
Said that we was dating I was just wasting your time
Said you was the one I was exaggerating
Every time I said I loved you I had f*cking lied

I don't make mistakes, I don't make mistakes (Oh no)
I don't got regrets, I don't got no shame (Oh no)
When it comes snakes, I learned from the best (Oh bae)
I was playing games with you, playing chess

If you wanna hate then you could go hate (You can)
I ain't f*cking check, be responding late (Oh no)
When it comes to fakes, I learned from the best (Oh bae)
I playing games, f*cking with your chest

She got broken hearts like it's broken glass
She said that she had loved, now the love won't last
Told you that I'm sorry if you got regrets
But I don't 'pologize you could stay upset

Won't apologize, I don't have regrets
Know you shedding you tears, I ain't broke no sweat
Gave you memories that you can't forget
And you coming back guess you ain't done yet

I told you I love you was f*cking with you
I told you I love you I was messing with your mind
Told you you special I was lying to you
I told you that you the only one and I had lied

Said you was my baby I was fabricating
Said that we was dating I was just wasting your time

Said you was the one I was exaggerating
Every time I said I loved you I had f*cking lied

The lyrics to J. Paris's song "Broken Glass" delve into themes of heartbreak, deception, and regret within a tumultuous relationship. The repetition of "Oh yeah" in the opening lines sets a tone of acknowledgment and almost resignation to the situation at hand. The singer describes a woman with shattered emotions, comparing her broken hearts to broken glass, symbolizing the fragility and pain she has experienced in love. Despite expressing regret for any hurt caused, the singer refuses to apologize, indicating a sense of defiance or perhaps an inability to truly take responsibility for their actions.

The chorus of the song highlights the cyclical nature of pain and betrayal in relationships, with both parties experiencing hurt and deception. The line "Now you coming back cuz you ain't done yet" suggests a pattern of returning to a toxic dynamic, unable to break free from the cycle of hurt. The repetition of "You got used like I was used too" emphasizes a shared experience of being taken advantage of, further blurring the lines of who is the victim and who is the perpetrator in the relationship.

As the song progresses, the singer delves deeper into the manipulative and deceitful nature of their interactions with their partner. The revelation that the singer was dishonest about their feelings and intentions, including false proclamations of love and commitment, adds layers to the complexity of the relationship dynamics portrayed in the lyrics. The repeated assertions of not having regrets and playing mind games point to a lack of empathy and a willingness to manipulate emotions for personal gain.

The closing lines of the song bring the narrative full circle, with the singer once again acknowledging the pain they have caused while simultaneously refusing to take full responsibility for their actions. The unresolved tension and conflicting emotions present throughout the lyrics create a sense of ambiguity and unease, reflecting the messy and oftentimes destructive nature of human relationships. Overall, "Broken Glass" serves as a raw and introspective exploration of love, deception, and the psychological toll of toxic dynamics within a relationship.

She got broken hearts like it's broken glass
She has experienced heartbreak and pain, like shattered glass that can't be repaired.

She said that she had loved, now the love won't last
She claimed to have loved, but the feeling has faded over time.

Told you that I'm sorry if you got regrets
Apologizing for any regrets you may have, but not truly remorseful.

But I don't 'pologize you could stay upset
Refusing to apologize, allowing you to remain angry.

Won't apologize, I don't have regrets
Unwilling to say sorry, with no remorse for past actions.

Know you shedding you tears, I ain't broke no sweat
Aware of your tears, but not bothered or concerned.

Gave you memories that you can't forget
Provided unforgettable memories, whether positive or negative.

And you coming back guess you ain't done yet
Returning despite previous experiences, indicating unresolved feelings.

If you wanna hate then you could go hate (You can)
Encouraging the presence of hate if desired, indifferent to negative emotions.

I ain't f*cking check, be responding late (Oh no)
Not actively checking or responding promptly, showing lack of urgency or interest.

When it comes to fakes, I learned from the best (Oh bae)
Experienced in recognizing insincere individuals, due to past dealings.

I was playing games with you, playing chess
Engaging in mind games and tactics, like a strategic game of chess.
