Broken, this fragile thing now And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces. And I've thrown my words all around, But I can't, I can't give you a reason. I feel so broken up (so broken up), And I give up (I give up), I just want to tell you so you know.. Here I go, Scream my lungs out and try to get to you, You are my only one. I let go, There's just no one that gets me like you do You are my only, My only one. Made my mistakes, let you down And I can't, I can't hold on for too long. Ran my whole life in the ground And I can't, I can't get up when your gone. And something's breaking up (breaking up), I feel like giving up (like giving up), I won't walk out until you know.. Here I go Scream my lungs out and try to get to you, You are my only one. I let go There's just no one that gets me like you do You are my only, My only one. Here I go, So dishonestly. Leave a note For you my only one. And I know, You can see right through me. So let me go And you will find someone. Here I go, Scream my lungs out and try to get to you, You are my only one. I let go, There's just no one, no one like you You are my only, My only one. My only one My only one My only one You are my only, My only one.
