You say you'll change
Same speech
Same stain on your t-shirt
Coffee's cold
Our takeout box on the table again
You swear you're done
Then your phone lights up on my pillow
I know this script
Every lie lands right on cue
We’re a broken record
Spinning in the dark
Same old needle
Scratching up our hearts
Every “sorry” echoes
Round and round it goes
We’re a broken record
And everybody knows
You slam the door
I count to ten in the hallway
Neighbors stare
Through paper walls at our show
You pull me close
Smell of rain and cheap cologne
Say"this is last"
But the last time never comes
We’re a broken record
Spinning in the dark
Same old needle
Scratching up our hearts
Every “sorry” echoes
Round and round it goes
We’re a broken record
And everybody knows
I could lift the arm
Let the silence fall
But I'm humming along
To a song that hurts
If I walk away
Will the room stay loud
Or finally
Finally turn down
We’re a broken record
Spinning in the dark
Same old needle
Scratching up our hearts
Every “sorry” echoes
Round and round it goes
We’re a broken record
And everybody knows
