Broken Record Lyrics

You always held the door

But you didn't reach out for my hand

Caught halfway between a boy and a man

You looked at me for a minute

But I didn't fit your attention span

I could've stayed for longer

But babe you ran

I can wonder about it all I want

As to why we fell apart

But it's pretty clear

By the bruises on my heart

We were running for miles on empty

Tell me why would you lead me on

And let me think I'm right for you

When we were wrong

'Til I heard it on the highway

In the words of your favorite song

Telling me I can do better

Than spending time trying to fix

A broken record

Told you over and over

I needed you to communicate

Repeating myself

And I kept rewinding the tape

Looking back on the memories

Tryna get back to a better place

Scared to let you go

Didn't know if I could face it

We were running for miles on empty

Tell me why would you lead me on

And let me think I'm right for you

When we were wrong

'Til I heard it on the highway

In the words of your favorite song

Yeah they were telling me I can do better

Than spending time trying to fix

A broken record

Well I, I'm sorry baby

And I, I wanna save things

But I, I'm sorry baby

I don't know what you want me to do

Yeah I, I'm sorry baby

Maybe you thought I was crazy

But I, I'm sorry baby

Yeah I'm sorry for you

Cuz were running for miles on empty

Tell me why would you lead me on

And let me think I'm right for you

When we were wrong

'Til I heard it on the highway

In the words of your favorite song

Yeah they were telling me I could do better

Than spending time trying to fix

And now I know that I can do better

So I'm done trying to fix

Your broken record
