lyrics

My head points to the floor,
My feet towards the door.
I'm no good for you no more,
And I won't be, except for myself.
Every single disdainful look
Hurts more than every word you spit out.
I'm no good for you no more,
And I won't be, except for myself.

So break out, break out,
Don't listen to their whispers.
Make out, make out,
With whoever you want.
I might be broken but I'm not gonna fix it.
There's no point anymore,
Your expectations couldn't be further from the floor.

I wish you knew, I wish I'd say,
But if I spoke the truth it would take your breath away.
I could change it all, just by what I say,
But I'm not worth your pain.

Late night, windows down,
Loud car ride, comin' through your town.
I'm no good for you no more, and I won't be except for myself.
You might think I'm strange
For losing my mind over such a stupid thing.
I'm no good for you no more, and I won't be except for myself.

So break out, break out,
Don't listen to their whispers.
Make out, make out,
With whoever you want.
I might be broken but I'm not gonna fix it.
There's no point anymore,
Your expectations couldn't be further from the floor.

I wish you knew, I wish I'd say,
But I already spoke the truth and it took your breath away.
I changed it all, just by what I said,
But I'm not worth your pain.
