"Broken"

When the lights burn bright at the height of your fires
And below seems so far away
Please remember that I may still be down there somewhere-
Lost and wishing that I didn't have to stay

When the sticks and stones no longer touch your bones
And so there's no reason to always phone
Please remember that I'll probably still be sitting there-
Waiting patiently for you to call home

And when the parties and invites get thrown at your feet
And all the fabulous that you may meet
Please spare a thought for the one that is caught
Stuck indoors, weakened by the sound of a street

With tilted brim smiles and recently tagged clothes
You stride fast with the beautiful and bold
So there's no need to look back at all the second-hand crap
And that includes me who's still so broken and old.

This was heartbreaking. The affection you feel for someone that has moved away from the home you once shared in some capacity - as if gone to Hollywood to make it big kind of vibe. This is like a song to me. You poured your heart out effortlessly -or so it it read. My favorite stanza was:
And when the parties and invites get thrown at your feet
And all the fabulous that you may meet
Please spare a thought for the one that is caught
Stuck indoors, weakened by the sound of a street

I am getting the feeling that the guy has just given up on everything, and just let the girl go. Its a meloncholy piece, rather sad. But it also speaks of strength on the guy, to let her go..to wish her a good time, so to speak.
Hopefully the guy learns that even if she thinks he's broken and second store material, there may be a girl out there who finds treasure in the rattiest of places.
