This song shows the other side of the old Soundgarden song “Fell On Black Days”, which was about descending into darkness with the end of a relationship. In this song, the protagonist finds love again elsewhere and gets a new lease on life.
[Verse 1]
Every time I stare into the sun
Trying to find a reason to go on
All I ever get is burned and blind
Until the sky bleeds the pouring rain
[Verse 2]
When you came along, the time was right
Pulled me like an apple, red and ripe
Wasn't very long, you took a bite
And did me wrong, and it serves me right
[Chorus]
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taken me miles away
From the memory of how it broke apart
Here we go round again gain
[Verse 3]
Every little key unlocks the door
Every little secret has a lie
Try to take a picture of the sun
And it won't help you to see the light
[Verse 4]
Every little word upon your lips
Makes a little cut where blood pours out
Every little drop of blood, a kiss
That I won't miss, not for anything
[Chorus]
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taken me miles away
From the memory of how it broke apart
Here we go round again
[Bridge]
Every single feeling tells me this is leading
To a heart in broken little pieces
And you know I need this
Like a hole in the head
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Every single feeling tells me this is leading
To a heart in broken little pieces
And you know I need this
Like a hole...
[Chorus]
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taken me miles away
From the memory of how it broke apart
Here we go round again
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taken me miles away
From the memory of how it broke apart
Here we go round again
[Outro]
Here we go round again
Here we go round again
Here we go round again
