LYRICS:
The Algorithm Broke My Heart
[Verse 1]
I lit a candle, set the scene,
Poured my soul into a song and a thumbnail dream.
Wrote verse and bridge—stayed up all night,
It all went great, it felt just right.
Hit upload like a love confession,
Waitin’ for likes like divine intervention.
But you never came, and the views stayed low—
Now it’s me, my mic, and a heartbreak show.

[Chorus]
The algorithm broke my heart,
Buried my song in the dark.
I gave it my soul, got zero control,
Now I’m just screaming into the void... oh Lord—
The algorithm broke my heart.

[Verse 2]
You ghosted me like a spam DM,
While shorts with cats got a million again.
Was it my tags? Was I outta place?
Was my thumbnail weird or my upload pace?
I studied metrics, watched the trends,
Even asked YouTube how to make amends.
But love ain't real in the data stream—
It’s just thumbnails chasing a clickbait dream.

[Chorus]
The algorithm broke my heart,
Played me dirty from the start.
I used SEO, still nobody knows,
That I wrote you a ballad that I thought was art,
The algorithm broke my heart.

[Bridge]
Is there a shadowban for feelings?
Do I need a hook, or just better lighting?
‘Cause I bled in HD, cried in 4K—
But the algorithm didn't show them in any way.

[Verse 3]
Now I sit here in the feedback loop,
And see my hottest song is all about poop.
But maybe one day, you’ll scroll and see—
One of my tunes in your “Recommended for me.”

[Final Chorus]
The algorithm broke my heart,
Left me out in the discard cart.
Still I sing through the noise,
With cracked chords and broken joys...
Yeah, the algorithm broke my—
Broke my chartless, artless,
Loveless, heartless...

[Outro]

Unless you're the algorithm...
Then would you maybe take a bribe?
