Broken Heart Scenario

(Album: Retrofit - 2021)

This is another classic case of
A broken boy who learned to hate love
And as the years passed by
He wondered why he never seemed to be enough

For you
Everything that I do
It's all for you

All the lies that leave those lips
I can taste them on your tongue (every single one)
And every hand that's held your hips
As you convinced them that they were the only one
Only one of us can leave this town alive
Only one of us is going to survive
If it's the last thing that I do
I'll make sure that one is you

You had me hanging by a thread to every shred of false hope that you fed me
Then you kicked the chair out from my legs and held the rope so steady

But silly me I believed every word you said
While you ignored every drop of red I bled

It's my broken heart scenario
Hear me bleed in stereo
I wrote this just for you
To help me spell out the hell that you put me through
My broken heart scenario
You're front row at my burial
But no matter what you do
I'll always be a fool for you

You put up quite a front
Before you stabbed me in the back
But darling don't you look so divine
As you devise your next attack
I should've kept up my defenses
But now I'm left stuck with the consequences
And consequently the pain you bring
You were my last life line
Then you severed my heartstrings

Stringing me along, you led me on and left me here to wonder
How it went so wrong as you sailed on and let the current pull me under

I gasp for air but you don't care
You only wanna watch me flail
I'd break my back for you
But you wouldn't break a nail

It's my broken heart scenario
Hear me bleed in stereo
I wrote this just for you
To help me spell out the hell that you put me through
My broken heart scenario
You're front row at my burial
But no matter what you do
I'll always be a fool for (be a fool for you)

This is another classic case of
A broken boy who learned to hate love
And as the years passed by
He wondered why he never seemed to be enough
For the girl who meant the world to him
The world that left him godforsaken
A cycle too late to undo
All of which has led me to

It's my broken heart scenario
Hear me bleed in stereo
I wrote this just for you
To help me spell out the hell that you put me through
My broken heart scenario
You're front row at my burial
But no matter what you do
I'll always be a fool for (you)

Broken heart scenario
Play this at my funeral
And as I'm laid to rest
I hope you know I tried my best
