Description
There are people who seem to be trying - really trying - to be ‘like everyone else.’ They go into relationships with the instruction ‘don't break,’ fix their bugs with meditation, read about generational trauma... And then they suddenly realise that all of this is just a costume that doesn't fit right anyway. Because inside, they are not of this earth, but have antennas - the kind that even love is transmitted to with noise in the signal.
This is exactly the feeling when you want to be soft, warm, understandable - but steel wiring still shows through. And all you can do is shrug your shoulders and say, ‘Sorry, that's how I am.’ It's sad, of course, but with a kind of honest warmth. After all, admitting that you were born with a broken heart is also a form of love. Only cosmic.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I've been tryin' to change (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Tryna find somebody to love me
Oh no, but I end up in the same damn place again
Hoping that I could be different, but I'd be playin' pretend
I wish that I was perfect (just like you)
But I'm an alien
Oh no, I'm setting out an SOS, take me home
We're not meant to be together, no
What if I said I'm tryin' to save your love from dyin'?
Baby, I'm too far gone (oh, oh, oh)
Don't wanna see you cryin', but I just know who I am
And maybe that's the hardest part of all
Baby, you can't fix me
I was born with a broken heart
If I was a cactus (oh-oh, oh-oh)
You would be a balloon
Oh no, I wanna feel the same as humans do
I wanna feel the same as you, but I don't
What if I said I'm tryin' to save your love from dyin'?
Baby, I'm too far gone (oh, oh, oh)
Don't wanna see you cryin', but I just know who I am
And maybe that's the hardest part of all
Baby, you can't fix me
I was born with a broken heart
I'm sorry that I'm leavin'
Oh-oh, I'm, I'm sorry, we're just different
But, baby, you can't fix me
What if I said I'm tryin' to save your love from dyin'?
Baby, I'm too far gone (oh, oh, oh)
Don't wanna see you cryin', but I just know who I am
And maybe that's the hardest part of all
Baby, you can't fix me (oh, oh, oh)
Baby, you can't fix me, no
Baby, you can't fix me
I was born with a broken heart
