Broken Love
from DCLXVI by Switch & Notebook
lyrics
-Verse One-(Performed by Switch)
We look at each other in disgust/ and there’s no trust
And were to stubborn to adjust/ I’m feeling crushed
Like maybe this was all rushed/ no love all lust
I’m just stuck in this spot I’m cuffed/ like it’s a must
so we drink every night/ go to the bar and fight
Fireball shots got me light/ molly has me all hyped
Your dancing just in sight/ because you know I might
loose it and just ignite/ you hate me out of spite
I hate you to your right/ there’s no slack it’s all tight
And no I’m not alright/ I think I need a light
Spark to make it bright/ it’s to late to rewrite
It’s all so black and white/ black as a starless night
Hard to explain how I feel inside/ I want to cry
I’m torn it’s just to hard to decide/ so let me die
It’s getting really cold outside/ a starless sky
We both ended up destroying our pride/ both kind of died
-Hook-
Light me up a cigarette and put it in my mouth
You're the only one that wants me around
And I can think of a thousand reasons why
I don't believe in you, I don't believe in you and I
-Verse Two-(Performed by Notebook)
Tell me we're disturbed, and I'll tell you that you heard right
That's the reason why I'm pushing pedals on the turnpike
thinking heavily about the worst nights...
it gives me chill, and makes me feel like I'm actually there again
feeling all the wear-and-tear I did, I was careless then
swearing it was the last time that you'd hurt
lies and deception. blind with aggression.
why am I trying to hide my offensiveness?
striking you; hoping you die from the next hit on your face
black eye, so infected each time that my head slipped
didn't press any charges out of fear that your life would be ended
fighting for purposes that have long passed
but, I guess your innocence resurrects them;
I fall back into the same monsterous, toxic nonsense
I'm just caught in the fog of my own subconscious
wishing I'd hit a wall and be gone as quick as I walked in
that's when I stop day-dreaming and see it all dissolve,
as I re-direct the car into on-coming traffic
and take myself away to let your heart live
-Hook-
