Shattered Beyond Repair

⚫🌩️🏴‍🖤🏴‍🌩️⚫
You Always Thought I Would Be Here For You
Saw Me Standing On The Edge Of Darkness
When Things Go Badly I'm Constantly True
🏴‍🖤🏴‍
Always Pushed Away, The Dark Despair Grew
The Edge's Crumbling, I'm Frightened I Confess
You Always Thought I Would Be Here For You
🏴‍🖤🏴‍
Like A Pile Of Smashed Porcelain, I'm Through
All Alone I Have To Face My Distress
When Things Go Badly I'm Constantly True
🏴‍🖤🏴‍
I'll Always Be Good, I'll Always Get Through
That's What You Say As I Fall To Pieces
You Always Thought I Would Be Here For You
🏴‍🖤🏴‍
This Is Something I Can't Fix, I Can't Do
For Me There Is No Hope, I'm Just A Mess
When Things Go Badly I'm Constantly True
🏴‍🖤🏴‍
I Want To Make Things Right But Have No Clue
Broken, Blistered, Shattered, Hurt And Distressed
You Always Thought I Would Be Here For You
When Things Go Badly I'm Constantly True
