 "It's hard to watch the game we make of love, like everyone's playing checkers with their scars, saying checkmate whenever they get out without a broken heart. Just to be clear I don't want to get out without a broken heart. I intend to leave this life so shattered that there's gonna have to be a thousand separate heavens for all of my flying parts." -  Erin McKeown A Broken Heart is a heart that has been shattered by someones actions or words. The pain of a broken heart can be likened to a breaking rib or any other physical pain.

In the song the singer is describing the breaking apart of her heart from words or actions from another person. We can all relate to how painful it is when someone breaks our hearts, but what is even more painful is when someone breaks their own heart just because they couldn't hold onto something they wanted.  The lyrics in the song also describe how even though she doesn't want to get out of this life without a broken heart, she knows that eventually she will have no choice but to do so.
