🎤 “Broken Record Heart”
(R&B / Hip-Hop – Ann Marie inspired energy + emotional ad-libs)
⸻
[Intro – soft, fading]
Yeah… yeah…
(ohhh no… no…)
I keep spinning… same pain… same fight…
⸻
[Hook]
I’m breakin’ like a broken record in this world I’m in
Same mistakes, same faces, where do I begin?
Family say they love me but it don’t feel real
Friends switch up quick, that’s just how they feel
I’m stuck on repeat, I can’t break out this sound
Every time I rise, they just try pull me down
Relationships fade like they never meant a thing
I’m cryin’ in silence while my heart still sing
(yeah… yeah… sing for me…)
(broken… broken…)
⸻
[Verse 1]
They smile in my face then turn cold when I leave
Talkin’ ‘bout loyalty but they don’t believe
I gave too much love, now I’m drained out my soul
Tryna fix everybody but I’m losin’ control
Mama say “be strong,” but she don’t see my tears
Brother say “it’s life,” but I been lost for years
Friends come and go like a seasonal wave
I stay too attached, now I’m stuck in a cage
I replay conversations like I’m stuck on rewind
Every heartbreak hits me like the first time
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – soft, emotional]
I don’t know who to trust anymore…
Everybody feelin’ like a closed door…
I scream inside but nobody hears…
I’m drownin’ in my own fears…
⸻
[Hook]
I’m breakin’ like a broken record in this world I’m in
Same mistakes, same faces, where do I begin?
Family say they love me but it don’t feel real
Friends switch up quick, that’s just how they feel
I’m stuck on repeat, I can’t break out this sound
Every time I rise, they just try pull me down
Relationships fade like they never meant a thing
I’m cryin’ in silence while my heart still sing
(yeah… yeah… sing for me…)
(broken… broken…)
⸻
[Verse 2 – rap flow]
Yeah, I been through too much, I don’t even react
I just smile in public, then I fall right back
Trust got deleted, no password to restore
Every love I had just walked out the door
I been the one holdin’ everybody together
But who gon’ hold me when I’m losin’ the weather?
Rain in my mind, storm in my chest
Tryna be “okay” but I’m failing the test
They hear my voice but they don’t hear pain
They see my smile but not the strain
I’m stuck in this cycle, I loop every night
Like a broken record that don’t play right
⸻
[Bridge – emotional breakdown]
(yeah…) I’m tired of repeatin’
Same hurt, same season…
Why love always leavin’?
Tell me what’s the reason…
⸻
[Final Hook – powerful]
I’m breakin’ like a broken record in this world I’m in
But I still wake up and try again
Family, friends, relationships fade
But I still stand through all the pain
I’m stuck on repeat, but I’m learnin’ to grow
Even if they don’t stay, I still know…
I’m more than the hurt they put in my name
I’m breakin’… but I won’t stay the same
(yeah… yeah… I won’t stay the same…)
(broken record… but I’m still here…)
