Story Behind The Song
"Someone comes along and breaks you all apart, and then leaves you missing a piece you can't survive without. Relationships change us forever. We're never the same -- we morph every time we love and lose someone. The falsetto in my voice is an intentional representation of the highs and lows of this ride. There's an eerie, urgent feeling...dark and dramatic, because the emotion in loss is inherently over the top."

Lyrics
BROKEN
words & music by jen foster 2003
Pieces, falling
Through the sky, I?m wanting
To feel you beneath me
But not like this, believe me
No, I can?t wake up, no I can?t crash down
To half that?s lost and half that?s found
I can?t believe that you
Would leave me this way
I am broken up into a thousand pieces
You have stolen one, it?s a piece I needed
I can?t open up, you can?t close me shut
I am broken
Pieces, floating
Up off the ground, exploding
I feel you above me
But not like this, don?t rush me
?Cause I cannot look, no, I cannot find
The half that?s yours and the half that?s mine
I can?t believe that you
Could leave me this way
I am broken up into a thousand pieces
You have stolen one, it?s a piece I needed
I can?t open up, you can?t close me shut
I am broken
And you stole my heart
Right from the wreckage
Now I can?t ever be put back together
Pieces, resting
Upon the ground you?re blessing
Can you feel me beneath me?
All over everywhere?
I am broken up into a thousand pieces
You have stolen one, it?s a piece I needed
I can?t open up, you can?t close me shut
I can?t open up, you can?t close me shut
I can?t open up, you can?t close me shut
I am broken
