Broken

She told me that it's over
Say's we've drifted apart
After everything I told her
She drove off in a car
To another place, just not to face it
She left her clothes on the floor and I'm aching
You'd hold it all together, now
Each day, each week
I'm getting further along
I'm fine at work
But lose it when I get home
And see the photos of us on the walls that we took
And it hurts
The bed gets colder
Every morning I still wanna hold ya
And keep you on my mind
If I could afford to be happy for you then I would
But I can't win, I'm still broken
You're my first thought and my last one too
'Cause everything that's in between, just leads me back to you
If I could afford to be happy for you then I would
But I can't win, I'm still broken
She told me that she needs this
Says she's stuck in a rut
It can't be the only reason
'Cause she's still calling me up
To ask if I can drive her home at night
Her phone will die, can't decide to decline or to brave it
You need to hold it all together, now
Each day, each week
I'm getting further along
I'm fine at work
But lose it when I get home
And see the photos of us on the walls that we took
And it hurts
The bed gets colder
Every morning I still wanna hold ya
And keep you on my mind
If I could afford to be happy for you then I would
But I can't win, I'm still broken
You're my first thought and my last one too
'Cause everything that's in between, just leads me back to you
If I could afford to be happy for you then I would
But I can't win, I'm still broken
Now I'm tearing out my heart, just to give you all you want
And I don't need this lump in my throat (I don't need this lump in my throat)
I wish I could be proud to be happy for you now
But it's way too soon to let you go (to let you go)
The bed gets colder
Every morning I still wanna hold ya
And keep you on my mind
If I could afford to be happy for you then I would
But I can't win, I'm still broken
You're my first thought and my last one too
'Cause everything that's in between, just leads me back to you
If I could afford to be happy for you then I would (I would)
But I can't win, I'm still broken
