## **Theme**

Ryan Chadwick – the 28-year old aerospace engineer-turned-producer behind OTR – says, “I wanted to let the meaning of ‘Broken’ shine through by creating a stronger sense of tension. It was a lot of fun searching for ways to capture it musically, and in the end, I think Au/Ra and I did a great job taking this track to a new place.” [1]

## **Lyrics**

I used to be afraid to break the fall

So I stall

But now I’m trying breaking down my walls Let them fall

Nobody said it’d be simple

And I’m a whole lot of work

Dying to jump on the impulse

But running before I get hurt I used to be afraid of hoping for

Any more

My arms are open

But then I get close and I’ll push you out

Pull you back like an ocean

Wanna be all in

But I’m bad with emotion

Maybe ‘cos my heart

Was made to be broken

And I think

I’d rather have

Loved ‘til I lost

Than never have loved at all

My arms are open

But I’m bad with emotion

Maybe ‘cos my heart was made to be broken

To be broken

Maybe ‘cos my heart

Was made to be broken

Maybe ‘cos my heart

Was made to be broken

And every time I'm 'bout to walk away

Now I stay

I’d turn to bones if

I waited on the day

I’m ok

Nobody said it’d be easy

And I know that

I’m a lot

Treating love like it’s graffiti

I’m running before I get caught

The beauty bleeds but scars will never fade

That’s ok, ‘cos

My arms are open

But then I get close and

I’ll push you out

Pull you back like an ocean

Wanna be all in

But I’m bad with emotion

Maybe ‘cos my heart

Was made to be broken

And I think

I’d rather have

Loved ‘til I lost

Than never have loved at all

My arms are open

But I’m bad with emotion

Maybe ‘cos my heart

Was made to be broken

To be broken

Maybe ‘cos my heart

Was made to be broken

Maybe ‘cos my heart

Was made to be broken [2]
