Sometimes the story goes doesnt end like a fairytale guess that’s how it goes when you’re stuck on a merry-go-round the melody of us is just a haunted sound now Tell me heaven how do I make it stop My world keeps spinning like a crooked top your voice the needle scratching my heart raw I had it all then I lost it loving you wish I knew before I fell the fall was bad but unrequited love hurts like hell All my thoughts keep circling my head like a broken record repeating what we said if I could escape I’d trade dreams for something real but this broken record drowns out the silence leaves me feeling dead inside I try to move on but your ghost keeps pace beside me What do I do to get away from you How to stop these thoughts that drive me wild life feels blind without you near too many questions now and too much time gone by did it get better or was it all for nothing eyes wide shut searching empty nights while memories replay the pain again Every day feels new but the ache still lingers holding to a fading light far away wish I could undo what’s been done but it keeps replaying all the hurt like a broken record your words cut sharp your absence hums like a chord I can’t unplug How did we lose what we had guess our love got erased somehow replaced by an echo I can’t face and the story spins again like it always will this broken record of our love won’t stay still and I’m trapped inside the song against my will.

Broken - ain't a fairytale
Sometimes the story goes doesnt end like a fairytale guess that’s how it goes when you’re stuck on a merry-go-round the melody of us is just a haunted sound now Tell me heaven how do I make it stop My world keeps spinning like a crooked top your voice the needle scratching my heart raw I had it all then I lost it loving you wish I knew before I fell the fall was bad but unrequited love hurts like hell All my thoughts keep circling my head like a broken record repeating what we said if I could escape I’d trade dreams for something real but this broken record drowns out the silence leaves me feeling dead inside I try to move on but your ghost keeps pace beside me What do I do to get away from you How to stop these thoughts that drive me wild life feels blind without you near too many questions now and too much time gone by did it get better or was it all for nothing eyes wide shut searching empty nights while memories replay the pain again Every day feels new but the ache still lingers holding to a fading light far away wish I could undo what’s been done but it keeps replaying all the hurt like a broken record your words cut sharp your absence hums like a chord I can’t unplug How did we lose what we had guess our love got erased somehow replaced by an echo I can’t face and the story spins again like it always will this broken record of our love won’t stay still and I’m trapped inside the song against my will.
