Behind the Track: Broken Thing

Broken Thing is track seven on Pretty, Broken Thing, and it’s where the album gets its name. It’s a heavy one.

What sparked it

This song comes from real life events and real hurt. Someone wanted to play the situationship until I wasn’t needed as more than a “best friend.” Which is more than a little messed up.

The line that matters most

“I’m not wanted, I’m convenient.”

It hits the hardest. It lays out the whole premise of the song, and the story.

Singing it now

It’s still a bit raw to sing, but I’ve learned to hold myself together through it.
