The story behind the song

"Broken" is a poignant reflection on the dissolution of a marriage and family, penned by Shaun Morgan. It captures the deep emotional impact of separation, specifically when his wife decided to stay in South Africa with their daughter rather than move to the United States with him. The song, which first appeared on the band's debut album Disclaimer, was later re-recorded in 2004 with Amy Lee. It evokes a feeling of profound loss and the pain of a fractured connection.
