Khalid's song 'Broken' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of betrayal and heartbreak. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that has crumbled due to infidelity. Khalid expresses his pain and confusion as he grapples with the reality that his partner has left him for someone else. The repeated questioning of 'Why you're leaving me just for him?' highlights his struggle to understand the reasons behind the betrayal. This sense of bewilderment is further emphasized by his reflections on the past, where he believed he knew his partner better than anyone else.

The chorus, with its haunting repetition of 'I lost your love once again,' underscores the recurring nature of his heartbreak. Khalid's use of the word 'broken' is a powerful metaphor for his emotional state. He feels shattered and unable to mend his heart, indicating the depth of his pain.

Khalid's soulful voice adds an extra layer of emotion, making the listener feel his anguish and sorrow. 'Broken' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the struggle to move on from a painful past.
