[Verse 1: Jessie Reyez]
We fall in love, he does the most
But I question it all 'cause I'm still broken
He gets tired, then he leaves
Then I cry and I repeat
Fall in love again, fuck it up again
This does the affect I cry
Better being friends to avoid the pain
I say I'm okay, I'm not
[Chorus: Jessie Reyez]
It's always the same
It's like I'm lookin' for someone to save me
Someone to blame
So I can cry and ask you, "Why'd you break me?"
I lie and say I didn't come broken
I lie and say you did it
I lie and say I didn't come broken (Broken)
[Verse 2: Drew Love]
We fall in love, I do the most
You question it all 'cause you still broken
I give you space, let you breathe
Flip it on me then it repeats
I messed it up again, pissed you off again
Gave you love, this what I got
You cuss me out again, acting out again
Think it's okay, well it's not
[Chorus: Jessie Reyez & Dante, Jessie Reyez, Dante & Drew Love]
It's always the same
It's like I'm lookin' for someone to save me
Someone to blame
So I can cry and ask you, "Why'd you break me?"
I lie and say I didn't come broken
I lie and say you did it
I lie and say I didn't come broken
I lie and say I didn't come broken
I lie and say you did it
I lie and say I didn't come broken (Broken)

(Dante) It was a few months back that I got a call from my manager. We’ve worked with Jessie for probably almost two years. We always hung out and got drunk together, all sorts of crazy stuff. We’re friends. But I got a call like, ‘Oh she’s in town, do you want to work in like two hours?’ And normal...
No! “Broken” marks their first collaboration together.
