lyrics

The words are on the tip of my tongue
And I’m tripping over everything that’s happened so far
So getting my footing when my balance is off
Is like a man on a tightrope in a wind-tunnel dream

I think I thought that something would change
When I saw you watch me walking up to you by the wall
Considering how long it had been until then
It was a moment frozen solid never mind what it seemed

And I can’t stop feeling like a broken toy
‘cause when you played with my heart I became a real boy
And once you get used to the pain you can’t turn back
No I can’t stop feeling like a broken toy
The way you threw me away made me more paranoid
I guess it’s better for you to buy new than repair the cracks


Because of you I’m where I am now
At the bottom of the list of things you wanted to do
Apparently you had it with your little game
So you just crossed me off as if I were an errand you ran
I gave it up it’s all I could do
I’ve been chasing after nothing for as long as I could
Replacing me only for no reason to find
Somebody’s gotta have something more to dispose in the can

And I can’t stop feeling like a broken toy
‘cause when you played with my heart I became a real boy
And once you get used to the pain you can’t turn back
No I can’t stop feeling like a broken toy
The way you threw me away made me more paranoid
I guess it’s better for you to buy new than repair the cracks
