Shattered

Broken, I lie spread across the floor…
Won’t be long until I’m back at your door
Just as soon as I’m able to pull myself up, you’ll see
that I’m just not the same in this shattered state you left me

Well I thought you were the one and I took you for granted
Now things aren’t working out the way that I planned them
Thought you’d quietly date him, I heard
I used to feel whole, now I’m feeling shattered

I can still smell your hair, still taste your neck
I can still recall the times you took my breath
I remember when your face was all I could see
Now I look away every time you’re near me

Well I thought you were the one and I took you for granted
Now things aren’t working out the way that I planned them
Thought you’d quietly date him, I heard
I used to feel whole, now I’m feeling shattered

You talk to me and tell me I matter
Then begin this awful new pattern
You make amends, and then date my friends
Then just take shots at me til I shatter

And I can’t say why, it’s just something I do
Take the broken pieces of me and give them right back to you
It must be the glow, the feel, the scent of your skin
But I should know, you’ll just set me up to shatter me again

Well I thought you were the one and I took you for granted
Now things aren’t working out the way that I planned them
Thought you’d quietly date him, I heard
I used to feel whole, now I’m feeling shattered

You always seem to tell me I matter
But you can’t get enough of your favorite pattern
You ask me in, but your dating my friends
You love taking your shots so you can watch me shatter
