Do I need a new trunk? 2008 Civic Sedan

The whole part in red broke off. The hinge is bolted to the trunk, but hinge is fine but ripped off that whole part that is bolted to the trunk and now the trunk is connected to nothing with 2 rectangular pieces ripped off from both ends...

Do I need a new trunk? Is there any other way to fix this?

I have a hard time closing the trunk once it is open since it is not connected to anything, so I found a picture on google and made a red box of what part got ripped off the trunk. So imagine the bolt is still on the hinge and trunk and instead of the hinge breaking off, the hinge is fine and it is bolted so well to the trunk that part of the trunk ripped off where it is bolted to the hinge.

Yes, you need a new trunk. If I am reading your post correctly. Would need an actual picture of your trunk to verify though.

unbolt the broken piece from the trunk lid and weld it back to where it broke from, or you could go out and spend a couple hundred on a new hinge
