Boyce Avenue- Broken Angel lyrics

[angelmelinda]

I interpreted this song as a child who wasn't good enough for their parent. Like the child tried to prove them-self to their parent, tried their best to make them proud of them (the child). But no matter how how they tried, how hard they tried, they won't good enough. The parent probably expected to much from them, but the child's best wasn't good enough for the parent. Also, the parent didn't like the child very much as they weren't the best. And the child became very frustrated after a while.

[AnUnheardEidolon]

The first time I heard this song I was like

"Oh yeah....this is pretty cool...."

Then I heard the lyrics when it said "When you were his daughter"

I felt a tear run down my face.....My father told me all the time that I was a mistake, and that I was worthless....he crushed every dream I had.....Now I can't believe how stupid I was...because I believed him

[TheAleu45]

Sometimes this does remind me of my own dad. I've overcome the obstacles but sometimes it still hurts with things and memories. Nonetheless this has to be my favorite song by Boyce Avenue though, because it's so powerful and it connects to me so well. Well done on this video!

[deletedFILES1]

GOOD JOB!

[B3k4hB3ar]

Story of my freakin' life.!!

[MTYLTT]

Its like they reached down inside of me and pulled out everything I've felt for the past 26 years. This one hurts. Its beautiful, but it hurts.

[bell2794]

this is about a dad crushing his daughter dream and leaving her? cuz thats what i got out of it and that fits how i feel

[JJHasCOOKIES]

@bell2794 It's about how a father mistreated his daughter.

Like this describes my life, my parents fight, and my dad pushes away my dreams and pretty much smashes them to peices. :/

[NatalyaRoseThorn]

I wish this song had been around when I was 14 years old, I could have used this song. I just found this song recently and I think I broke the repeat button...

[angelmelinda]

Stupid question - but is this song about boyfriend and girlfriend? :/ Sometimes it's hard to tell what a song is about and I interpret it differently.

[ryxan2010]

@angelmelinda i think it's about a daughter being sexually abused by her father. but i'm 100% sure so don't quote me on it x

[JonasBrosFan17]

Can't stop listening to this song. Beautiful.

[jcoel123]

god, ur all so CHRISTIAN

[MrViewingpurposes]

no dislike :))

[jeanbidirel15]

so good to what i am going through...... im such a broken angel....pretty broken so bad and i keep praying to stand up and fly again....... im so tired yet i feel so stuck

ive been wronged by the man i love and yet he's never sorry and put all d blame on me

[BlackRosedAngel]

i found this by acident and i listened to the lyrics and i started crying and i was thinking of all the times i was a broken angel and i relized i still am, and always will be. This reminds me of when my parents split up and i thought it was all my fault and if i never excisted that my parents would still be together, i thought i was just a horrible mistake that should die and hopfully my parents would go back together and live happliy ever after, i know i didn't do anything wrong, :'(

[BlackRosedAngel]

@BlackRosedAngel but i'm still a broken arrow

[poprocker234]

i just got in a fight with my best friend and the first thing i did was put on this song the words are so inspirational and make me feel better after the worst

[NBIBMD]

this song speaks to me ,i loved you more than ill ever do

i cant get over you,i can feel your touch in my dreams every single night

you were a player you broke my heart

i still get little jolts when i see you from distance

ive fallen in love after you but ill never love the way i loved you =(

[ahmad61944]

awesome song

[caraabeex]

Saw them perform this in glasgow and it was the first time i had heard it, i loved it and wanted to cry at the same time <3

[Kirstenx13x]

@caraabeex same! i heard it at the one direction concert and i loved it! <3 :)

[abbra112]

I woke up this morning with a text from my half brother that I had finally met this past summer telling my to read this. I started to cry because our father chose hunting, fishing, alcohol, and other things over us. I haven't even met him. He's broken promises that he made my brother too. I have almost gone fourteen years without him, and I don't need him. All the people I need are God, my big brother, mom, grandma, other family, and friends. This song just shows how well I've been doing. <3

[heathermorton9596]

saw them singing this at one direction yesterday, they were so good! they sound much better live than they do in this video!

[KimmyBaby129]

I love this song... But it breaks my heart at the same time :(

[sheeranswife]

this just makes me cry so bad.

[qpsbg57]

The acoustic version is ssosos much better. It really brings out his voice alot more.

[mileycyrusfan026]

I SAW THEM IN BIRMINGHAM ON THE 4TH JANUARY WITH ONE DIRECTION, THEY WERE AMAZING THEY WERE LIKE "YEAH, WHO COULD RESIST THOSE 5 ONE DIRECTION GUYS" :L

[Littlemissmusicaa]

i saw them perform this live at brighton. oh my i have never cried so much! i love boyce avenue <3

[emz5291]

@Littlemissmusicaa I was at that same concert! first time I'd heard the song,or even of Boyce Avenue,and I was just crying my eyes out! <3

[emz5291]

so muc love for this song.... :')

[domolovesyhu]

idk how this reminds me of my ex but it does

[poprocker234]

i love this song so much i listen to it about 50 times a day my friends nd family know every word

[iDaFilipino1]

when i first listen 10 seconds of this i already hit favourite :D

[pimphstrong1]

wow i started to cry

[JordinSparksnum1Fan]

@musicislovegirl. Stay Strong.I also had an abusive father.He beat me,my sis,and my mom up.He almost killed my mom once but I walked into the room at that time and he didn't kill her only because he didn't want to kill her in front of me.He also almost killed me once also by choking,the only reason that I am still alive from that is because my mom and sis finally got him off of me.Luckly us three are still alive.If you ever need anybody to talk to,I am here if you want.Just message me on here.<3

[mandamandymandaamy]

this song makes me cry so much :'(

[eloelmakkaflo]

i wish my daddy knew how much i blame myself for that he is mentally ill

[Religion0]

@eloelmakkaflo Why do you blame yourself?

[weeeireann]

im crying. :'[

[jchixa]

where can I download this version to my computer? I once download one but it was acoustic and I don't like the version at all.

[smartycat171]

The past may have brought you to today, but it shouldn't continue to take you onto the future. To all the broken angels who have commented on this video, be strong and walk forword without looking back <3

[lethal18temptation]

This reminds me of my dad...He was a big druggie and abusive alchoholic. I remember hiding behind the couch on christmas eve and watch in horror as my dad storms in drunk and starts beating my mom. I was 5. To this day I still remember as though it was yesterday. And I still try every day to get him to approve of me. But no matter what I do, he never says he loves me, or that he's proud of me. I wish things had been different...

[LitlleBrat911]

@musicislovegirl i dont know what that feel like because i have a epic dad but rember that u r who u r dont let people juge u for someone your not. so if your crying wipe those tears and keep your head up high because u r u not someone esle :) i hope this helps because its ture

[MissPersonable]

Why can't I stop listening to this song?!?!

[nadoww131183]

we all have a broken angel deep inside of us..

[unguardedjewel]

I cried when I heard this! Reminds me of my real dad my mom left when I was little....

[I3img]

This sounds like my boyfriend singing to me... about my ex.. he saved me from him, without even start a fight... he simply helped me to see the light... he was my friend all along and after all that pain was over... I was crushed and he confessed his love to me. He had been there all along for me.. now I can't live without him, and we're already together for 2 years and a half <3 (:

[musicislovegirl]

Hi. It's Me again. Member my last post about my abusive father? He has been in jail for three years on new years. I want to thank you all for your fantastic advice. It has helped me through the years. I guess in that post, I just wanted to get all my anger and sadness out. But anyway, thank you guys :') You have helped me through hell.

[toomuchloving]

@TenPointTerrifying WOW, that's a very funny and a very mature comment to make. Congrats. (insert sarcasm here) :\

[AlexandriaPerry]

@TenPointTerrifying Seriously? You might be joking, but this is a really a*shole comment to make.

[blue4marzouka]

can anyone email me this song as a mp3 file <3

[erinsotherstuff]

@blue4marzouka go to google, and search youtube to mp3. its really easy to save it yourself :)

[simplefray69]

My dad commited suicide in august and this descirbes how I flt about him before and after <3 R.I.P Daddy life wasn't fsir to you <3

[rehabsforquitters123]

This is a song about a daughters torn relationship with her father.. It has nothing to do with relationships.. shut the fuck up and listen to the song.

[beki245]

all these storys im so sorry for ye all and i wish u all luck in the future and everything that u wished for comes true love ye all (L)(L) :)

[TinaAnnaMarie14]

I was sexually abused from age 7 to 11 by a close family member.. I was afraid to tell someone & then one day my own mother walked in on it happening. I take the blame for her having to actually see it. Now, I can't be around a male family member without someone looking down on me. It wasn't my choice. Today I'm diagnosed with mild depression and anxiety & I have trust issues.. All because of him.. </3

[roxasxventus32]

Story of my life.

[jakeb4me]

i can relate so much </3

[jemileighBPD]

I was sexually abused from the ages of 2-9 by my "farther" as a result of this i've developed Borderline personality disorder, Chronic depression, and post traumatic stress disorder. I self harm on a daily basis because of what my farther did to me. I love this song <3

[GabriellaBella95]

@jemileighBPD Oh wow shit thats terrible :( Its truly a discusting thing that someone ever EVER had to have that happen to you, and it continues to hurt you now :( Remember that you did nothing to deserve that, no human is deserving of that happening to them. The pain can stop, it starts with stoping the self harming. Stop the pain and realize that it will get better :) Love your life, because your lucky you have the choice to live it. Live it right, dont waste time <3

[Samichika]

my dad left me when i was 2 yrs old :( this song has touched my heart better than anything else. i love it <3

[morninggloryone]

Feel Like this One was Written for Me.

How About You????

<3

Angel Blessings.

[PlatinumFireOrchid]

This song tells my life's story, at first I thought it fit me because of my recent break up, but then I realized it fits my life when my parents were together, my father was abusive, but every day I still tried my best to get through the day..

[spikevampslayer]

Sometimes songs just hit a place that no person, no poem, no book, no tv show, no love letter or rose or dance, or party can hit. This song....Is that. It doesn't matter when I hear this, where I am, it feels so much like it actually gripped my heart and held it.......

[lakenbrooke00]

I've never been able to listen to this song without crying... </3

[QUEENGABBiE]

ZERO dislikes. That's how amazing this song is.

[musicislovegirl]

I have an abusive father. I saw him almost murder his girlfriend, I watched him as he tried to suffocate her. I began to cry, and That's what saved her, my father looked at me and began to run. That's what I am still doing, running. He is in prison and I am looked down on by everyone because I have his name. For I am just a broken angel </3

[boyceavenuefan56]

@musicislovegirl im sorry to hear about that. that's awful. i dont know what thats like because fortunatly i have an excellent father, but im sorry to hear about that. keep your head held high and dont let people break you down. you have the power :)

[musicislovegirl]

@boyceavenuefan56 thank you :')

[cat22811]

@musicislovegirl 

[scottynerd011]

@musicislovegirl that not good im sorry to hear that

[MattySadler]

@musicislovegirl change your name then

[MrSidinthehouse]

@musicislovegirl May God bless you with happiness. I hope you try to not give a shit about what other's think of you, cuz you will always be you. No one can be like you. I know it's hard, but try to move on with your life, have fun, give love =) Peace =)

[sarahkostov]

@musicislovegirl I know another Father who's perfect and loving Father and His name is Jesus Christ! He knows all the pain you've been through and in Him you can find perfect peace for you soul. He'll never forsake you or do what your earthy father had done. He loves you. In fact He loves you so much that he died for you on the cross so that you could be free in Him... just accept his invitation and become his child! God bless!

[kenziepopper]

@musicislovegirl sometimes an 'i'm sorry' can make all the difference. And u will find someone to love. just wait.

[blue4marzouka]

Wow i hope you realise that who your father is and what hes done, doesnt make you who you are today. Just because you have his name does not make you him, you saved her life and you should be proud of that. Carry on your family name, but not your fathers mistakes, dont let people who dont understand what its like to be judged only by who your father is to get to you, dont feel bad because people look down on you, be proud that you are stronger now more than before because of what hes done..

[BriiGoesRawwr]

@musicislovegirl Awhh , girl, im so sorry./: I know you dont know me and i dont know you, but if you EVER need someone to talk to, Inbox me on here, because ill listen.<3

[KayleeShannon13]

@musicislovegirl Im so sorry about that ! <3 x

[blue4marzouka]

@musicislovegirl

Wow i hope you realise that who your father is and what hes done, doesnt make u who u are today. Just because u have his name does not make u him, you saved her life and you should be proud of that. Carry on ur family name, but not ur fathers mistakes, dont let people who dont understand what its like to be judged only by who your father is to get to you, dont feel bad because people look down on u, be proud that you are stronger now more than before because of what hes done

[reynaldobinuya]

@musicislovegirl i hope you'd stop running soon and find peace. may you become a wounded healer to others. god bless!

[123Nashali]

@musicislovegirl :'( I'm So sorry!!! :'(

[jchixa]

@musicislovegirl It's alright we feel the same but different life story. My dad choose my step-brother over me while my mom choose my cousin over me my family hates me they never liked me but its not the reason why I need to give up on everything. Remember if you have no one you have GOD whose always there beside you, you may not see him but his just there beside you. :) REMEMBER to walk with GOD and someday you'll succeed in your life. :)

[HeimsTwins]

@musicislovegirl Dam, i am so so sorry that just made me really upset

[156Raza]

@musicislovegirl Seems you're not only the one who is in that kind of situation. Many People including me are too. I just hope I'll end up with better days, I wanted to commit suicide but than I thought, What about my mother who loved me so much. So I decided to live. I promised to myself, no matter how fucked up the world is, no matter what they say to you, you have to live, follow your dreams

'cause once you've got to the peak, the same fukin people would be lickin ur shoes.

[DreamForHope7]

@musicislovegirl Stupid world.

[babydinos26]

@musicislovegirl <3 stay strong. "And I promise that it's not your fault, it was never your fault."

[BeatMasterTey]

@musicislovegirl ..I"ve been blaming myself for failing to meet everybody's expectations for me, it almost got to a point where I was thinking of ending my own life......I'm still struggling to fight depression eventhough I don't show it to them........I pray that God guides you and protect you always.. Please never ever be like me....be strong and live a beautiful life....

[AliceAndScarlet]

Amazing

[dArKz41]

So my boyfriend definitely told me this song reminded him of me...

[snowwhitepriness]

*sighs* song tells my life!! ...*CRIES*....

[AnUnheardEidolon]

I adore how music can say what you can't force out of your mouth

[AnUnheardEidolon]

I love it when songs can say the words....that I can't find in my head to say outloud

[AnUnheardEidolon]

I love it when songs can say the words....that I can't find in my head to say outloud

[AnUnheardEidolon]

I love it when songs can say the words....that I can't find in my head to say outloud

[cat22811]

I NEED TO KNOW

[MissBedford93]

This song reaches out to all the young girls and boys abused by someone they should trust and expect to protect them but they turn and betray them instead. I almost broke down when i saw them in Leeds and they sung this song. Living with an abusive 'father' broke me in more ways than one but i'm stronger now and i can face the world and say I'm better than him any day and I shall live life in my own spotlight than his shadow.

[musicislovegirl]

=3

[123TheDarkAngel13]

this song seams to be wrighten for me, and others like me. my friend played this to me and i broke down in tears. .. this says it all even when i cant, even now that I'm 19 and i still cant speak of what my farther did to me and my older sister. Boyce Avenue.... truly amazing <3

[FooledByCookies]

This Reminds Me Of Me And My Dad...He as abused me since i was 3 years old...even now....and im turning 13....in 4 days..... ='(

[erinsotherstuff]

@FooledByCookies <3 :(

[shypie666]

this song is about a father and his daughter.

[snowwhitepriness]

my dad doubts about me a lot & doesn't trust me i love the song made me cry

[LBPlover13]

Thumbs up if u sung along with the song!!

[cat22811]

i am in love with the guy who told me he was depressed i want to tell him so bad that i fallen in love with him but i dont want him to think it is his fault do i take a risk or do i help him

[boyceavenuefan56]

@cat22811 It's not your fault you fell in love with him from me talking from experience. my past boyfriend of like 10 months (we broke up in may) i was in love with for a good two years thinking he didnt feel the same. well low and behold he did. so it's a chance worth taking because you never know if he feels the same :)

[cat22811]

@boyceavenuefan56 

[cat22811]

SHOULD I TELL HIM I LOVE OR WAIT

[cat22811]

@boyceavenuefan56 So i tell him

[cat22811]

Respond to this video... So i tell him

[cat22811]

@boyceavenuefan56 Should i tell him the truth and let him know that i love him or wait SOMETIMES I CANT SLEEP AT NIGHT THINKING HE MIGHT OF KILLED HIMSELF

[boyceavenuefan56]

@cat22811 tell him. he needs someone there for him obviously and you are that person.

[babypukeox]

@cat22811 this is late but ii fell in love with someone who was depressed. i told him. dated for 18 months. he killed himself out of the blue. i didnt tell him i loved him that night. tell him how much you care and NEVER let him forget it. because you never know when you'll run out of time.

[TheCocoFanClub]

@cat22811 If he's depressed, your words have that incredible chance of lifting his weight, if he likes you back. Believe me, I recieved an anonymous letter in my locker that said "I love you" I was shocked when I heard a not-so-close friend had killed himself the day after. His best friend then told me that letter was from him, but I never had the chance to repair his grief. He didn't think I could love him

I'm not saying this could happen, but never waste such a good chance to tell him

[LionOfGod91]

i cried as i listened to this song...remembering all the ways i tried prove i was good enough to be his daughter...that i was just as good as the boys...but nothing i did mattered...this song...knows exactly how i feel... </3

[LBPlover13]

LOVE THE SONG THEY ROCKKKKKKKKKKKK T_T

[hanechan17]
