In the song “BROKEN GIRLS,” Saba addresses his personal struggle (and possibly our general struggles) with constantly chasing the wrong girls for the wrong reasons.
Speaking of past experiences from past relationships, Saba examines situations where the girl(s) he was dating, or he himself, did cer...
[Intro: Saba]
I'm in love with broken—
[Chorus: Saba]
I'm in love with broken girls, girls, girls
Hey, girl, girl, girl, girl (Ugh)
I'm in love with broken girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls, hey, girl (Ugh)
[Verse 1: Saba]
Really, I'm broke myself, and I think she might help
Really, I love her story, and I think she might tell
Really, I'm not your crutch; really, you're not my girl
Really, she using me, but it's cool—we use each other
I'm in love with contemplating 'bout the pressure
Conversations 'bout depression
Confrontation 'cause we care too much about each other
We know it ain't permanent, but temporary
Releasing your Issa Rae, "Insecure"
Collect them like Pikachu, Venusaur
We go 'til you done or my penis sore
Sleep with the TV on, then we don't speak no more
And I know when I'm with you, or maybe when you're with me
Even if I don't feel a thing, for a second, I feel complete
I still'll keep in my back pocket
I know that I'm not shit, I know that it's toxic
I know that apoc'lypse, that was where your heart is (Ugh)
[Chorus: Saba]
I'm in love with broken girls, girls, girls
Hey, girl, girl, girl, girl (Ugh)
I'm in love with broken girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls, hey girl (Hey)
[Verse 2: Saba]
Tread light like broken glass; really, I'm not my past
Really, I snatched her soul; really, that's not to brag
Really, when I'm alone, really I'm not that happy
Really, I know you're empty, but I think I can fill your glass
Fetishizing all your problems
I wanted you more since I found out you heartless
Harboring feelings for niggas who hurt you
Know you on the surface, but not on a personal level
I play the game of hearts, missing piece, we ain't a part
Depend on me until I'm bored
I return your heart as quick I return your call
Tables turn quicker 'cause after a weekend, I miss you
I don't want you but I'm conflicted
I know that back-and-forth, yo-yo shit overwith
But you gon' take me back, I'm gon' convince you
Pain ain't never looked so temptin'
Lonely never looked so distant, we just gon' ignore the tension
You know we both not shit, I know that shit toxic
[Chorus: Saba]
I'm in love with broken girls, girls, girls (Hey)
Hey, girl, girl, girl, girl (Ugh)
I'm in love with broken girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls, hey, girl (Ugh)
[Bridge: Saba]
This whole time, been obsessed, being sad
She was my quick escape, made me forget
Hear her speak, see her weep, made me feel big
Cry on me (Cry on), she down me, treat me like shit
Second time, round two, what I learned
She wasn't mine, that wasn't love (Love), I wasn't hers
I'm not hurt anymore, took some time
Found a girl, now I'm hers (Ugh), and she mine
And she make me feel whole
Heal me, and it's mutual
And we still in love
[Outro: Daoud]
Can't you care for (Me, no)
Can't you care? Can't you care?
Can't you care for? (Me, no)
Can't you care? Can't you care? (Me, no)
Can't you care? Can't you care? (Me, no)
Can't you care? Can't you care? (Me, no)
Can't you care? Can't you care? (Me, no)
Can't you care? Can't you care?
