BLANK-HEARTED

Story Behind The Song

I loved the idea of being blank-hearted, because being broken-hearted is no fun. A clean slate, no scars from ex's who hadn't thought about me in months. I prayed to get to that place where no one was on my mind, occupying my thoughts and disappointing me.

Song Description

This person had struggles with relationships that kept repeating themselves, as she found herself attracted to the same sort of guy who was bad for her over and over. When she finally figured out that she didn't have to be ruled by these feelings for people who didn't feel the same way, she had overcome her own self-defeating behavior and had an epiphany that she had found her Happy Place.

Lyrics

I wanna be blank-hearted
It's better than broken-hearted any day
Cause when I'm blank-hearted
I don't give my power away

I have loved and lost
So I know it's worth the cost
But I need a break from love for a while
It's not that I'm giving up
And don't think that I'm making this up
But I don't need romance to make me smile

Cause I'm blank-hearted
It's better than broken-hearted to me
To be blank-hearted
Is to be free

I'm shakin' the fixation
I'm finished with the frustration
I'm not losing sleep at night on the phone
And I got determination
For non-affiliation
An inner-glow from being on my own

Cause I'm blank-hearted

I keep chasing what I wanna get away from
This is the struggle that I have to overcome
I keep chasing what I wanna get away from
This is the struggle that I have to overcome

Will I overcome?
Will I overcome?

I kept chasing what I wanna get away from
This was the struggle that I had to overcome
I kept chasing what I wanna get away from
This was the struggle that I had to overcome

And I have overcome!
I have overcome!
Cause I'm blank-hearted
I am blank-hearted
