Discover the story of the song > Born With A Broken Heart – Olivia O’Brien

The protagonist is feeling empty inside and has been doing things to try and feel something, even if it's negative. They wonder why they feel different and broken. They can only cry if they don't blink and can only smile if they've been drinking. They feel like they were born with a broken heart and don't know what's wrong with them. They suggest trying new things or making friends to feel something, but ultimately feel like they were built to fall apart.
