Broken Record

Just one more drink and then go to bed

You stared at your glass as I emptied my head

I said that I'm sorry, you said that's a shame

I'll blame those boys with those sweet Christian names

I'm planning for closure with guilt and remorse

You long for moments when love was a source

And if you're not happy, why do you stay?

Treacherous answers part lips and you'd say

"Oh, this never felt like home"

And you said "oh, you never left me alone"

And I said "oh, I would've started to drown", oh, oh, oh

Oh, this record broke on its own

Surrender or nothing, I'm giving my best

By ripping what's left from your half-empty chest

Tonight I'll be honest, tonight you'll be brave

It's all that I wanted, it's all that you crave

You're watching my face, my tears are a strain

Your heart makes a fist and it's bruising my brain

And if I'm so happy, why do I say

All these things that linger, rot, and decay?

And you said "oh, this never felt like home"

And you said "oh, you never left me alone"

And I said "oh, I would've started to drown", oh, oh, oh

Oh, this record broke on its own

And you said "oh, this never felt like home"

And you said "oh, you never left me alone"

And I said "oh, I would've started to drown", oh, oh, oh

Oh, this record broke on its own

And you said "oh Christ, hang up the phone"

And you said "oh, I guess I've always known"

But I said "oh, never leave me alone", oh, oh

Oh, this record broke on its own

Oh, this record breaks on its own

Oh, this record breaks on its own, oh, oh, oh

Oh, this record breaks on its own, oh, oh, oh

Oh, this record breaks on its own
