Unshatter Lyrics
[Intro]
And we’ll never ever put it back together
I should’ve known better, you’re lying
[Verse 1]
Maybe I made it more complicated than it had to be
Maybe I’m mistaken, but it’s taking something out of me
Maybe I’m too patient ’cause I waited until now to see
Take what you say and I’ll ruminate away reality
[Pre-Chorus]
But we’ll never ever put it back together
I should’ve known better, you’re lying
[Chorus]
Unshatter the picture I was tryna see myself in
Unshatter the promise that I could not believe
I don’t know why we got so cold
But my chest is holding all my feelings
Unshatter me
[Verse 2]
I was waiting patiently, saving judgment for too long
When the hesitation would set the stage that I’d lose on
You were only aiming to pass the blame and, then, move on
You just turned the tables and made my right to a new wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
And we’ll never ever put it back together
I should have known better, you’re lying
[Chorus]
Unshatter the picture I was trying to see myself in
Unshatter the promise that I could not believe
I don’t know why we got so cold
But my chest is holding all my feelings
Unshatter me
[Bridge]
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
I don’t owe you
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
I don’t owe you, go
I don’t owe you anything
I don’t owe you anything, go
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
I don’t owe you anything, go
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
I don’t owe you
[Pre-Chorus]
And we’ll never ever put it back together
I should’ve known better, you’re lying
[Chorus]
Unshatter the picture I was trying to see myself in
Unshatter the promise that I could not believe
I don’t know why we got so cold
But my chest is holding all my feelings
Unshatter me
Summary of this Song Lyrics
____________________________________
Linkin Park’s “Unshatter” song express the emotional aftermath of a broken relationship, highlighting themes of betrayal, introspection, and the struggle to heal. The artist reflects on how they may have overcomplicated things or waited too long to confront the truth. There’s a sense of regret for trusting someone who ultimately deceived them. Despite their patience and hope, the relationship couldn’t be salvaged, and the pain of that realization weighs heavily.
The recurring line, “we’ll never ever put it back together,” emphasizes the finality of the breakup. The chorus centers around the idea of trying to “unshatter” — to undo the emotional damage and broken expectations. The metaphor suggests a desire to restore something that’s beyond repair, like a picture of themselves in the relationship or a promise that turned out to be false.
In the bridge, the artist asserts their independence, declaring they don’t owe the other person anything and reclaiming their identity. This marks a turning point from vulnerability to empowerment. Ultimately, the song captures the complex process of letting go — moving from confusion and pain toward self-recognition and emotional release, even when closure remains out of reach.
