Broken Bottle is the closing track of Introspection. When discussing the song in her Introspection Reimagined listening session, she explains how the song is about overcoming childhood traumas, and learning to forgive those who hurt her.
[Verse 1]
Love doesn't grow in the middle of the garden
No, no (No, no)
I could feel your pain but you really hate to show it
No, no (No, no)
[Chorus]
I tried to give myself away
I did not get to say to you
That I did have somethin' to say
Forgive your fumbling ways, my dude
Oh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Oh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
Running out of breath
I don't think I could follow
Look at your footsteps
Look at the broken bottles
Crazy, I was a mess
Crazy, you was so hollow
Maybe I should address
Maybe I should
[Chorus]
Give myself away
I did not get to say to you
That I did have somethin' to say
Forgive your fumbling ways, my dude
Oh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Oh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
[Outro]
Oh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Oh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
