Story Behind The Song
I loved the idea of being blank-hearted, because being broken-hearted is no fun. A clean slate, no scars from ex's who hadn't thought about me in months. I prayed to get to that place where no one was on my mind, occupying my thoughts and disappointing me.

Lyrics
I wanna be blank-hearted
It's better than broken-hearted any day
Cause when I'm blank-hearted
I don't give my power away
I have loved and lost
So I know it's worth the cost
But I need a break from love for a while
It's not that I'm giving up
And don't think that I'm making this up
But I don't need romance to make me smile
Cause I'm blank-hearted
It's better than broken-hearted to me
To be blank-hearted
Is to be free
I'm shakin' the fixation
I'm finished with the frustration
I'm not losing sleep at night on the phone
And I got determination
For non-affiliation
An inner-glow from being on my own
Cause I'm blank-hearted
I keep chasing what I wanna get away from
This is the struggle that I have to overcome
I keep chasing what I wanna get away from
This is the struggle that I have to overcome
Will I overcome?
Will I overcome?
I kept chasing what I wanna get away from
This was the struggle that I had to overcome
I kept chasing what I wanna get away from
This was the struggle that I had to overcome
And I have overcome!
I have overcome!
Cause I'm blank-hearted
I am blank-hearted
