VERSE
You’re a haunting melody
I can’t shake from me;
Every note is engrained in my
Scarred memory.
You’re a song I can’t help but listen to,
As much as I don’t want to.
You play over and over,
Keeping sanity out of view.

PRE-CHORUS
When it’s late and I can’t fall asleep,

CHORUS
I put that broken record on, and it
Soothes me with its empty song.
This heart loves to break,
This heart loves to break.

VERSE
Your name echoes my every thought.
You probably think I forgot
The feel of your body on my body;
it’s tattooed on my heart like an inkblot.

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

BRIDGE
I sing along
Whenever that broken record’s on.
And I carry on
As best as I can while you’re gone.

CHORUS x 2

Broken Record

VERSE
You cling to the walls
Of this empty place.
I see your face
In chipping blue paint.
You’re standing there,
In every empty space.
Memories decay the same way
As yellowing lace.

PRE-CHORUS
Your shadow’s still here,
Like a whisper in my ear.
And although it’s been a year,

CHORUS
The feel of you still lingers
And becomes all I’ve ever known.
I can almost grasp it in my fingers;
The smell of your cologne.





VERSE
You clutch the
Faded shag carpet.
I keep trying to see
You in front of me.

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

BRIDGE
Your stale cologne
Sends me shivers to the bone.
I wish I didn’t want you
Anymore.

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

Cologne

This song is absolutely beautiful, and so fun to sing. Had a good time putting this one together. For some reason, the audio does a lot better with headphones.
