Q: “I’ve got to ask you about this line in the song. It hits me hard. It’s very clever. I’ve got to hear the story behind this: Wonder why you took a risk/On a broken heart you cannot fix.”
Gwen: “When you go through your family breaking up and falling apart […], you just think, ‘I blew it, my life is over.’ And the idea that someone - like tall, hot, handsome, talented, sexy, funny, all the things that is Blake Shelton - would be like, ‘Hey, you want to make out with me?’ I would be like, ‘What?’ That would never happen to me.”
“That is a risky thing to do - to say, ‘I’m going to love you, I’m going to love your kids and I’m going to do this with you. I know what I want. I want you. You are my pretty girl.’ That’s what my life is. I’m glad that that line - that you are feeling it because there is so much behind it. And originally it was ‘a broken girl’ and when Blake hopped on it, he changed it to ‘a broken heart.’”
