Lyrics

This time of year used to be our favorite
This freeway diner used to be our shrine
This one they're playin' used to be our love song
But that was back when you were mine

Now my coffee bites more bitter than it's sweet
And every day is just another grind
It's just enough to keep me on my feet these days
But not enough to drink you off my mind

Cuz each memory is just another cut that just won't heal
And each beat of my heart is just another chance to feel
A pain that took me over when those final words were spoken
It's been so long since you broke me
Now I'm breakin' up with broken

Your favorite colors used to make me blue
But I don't see them anymore
Your old shirts used to hang up where you left em
Now they're mighty good for cleaning up the floor

Cuz each memory's just another cut that just won't heal
And each beat of my heart is just another chance to feel
A pain that took me over when those final words were spoken
It's been so long since you broke me
Now I'm breakin' up with broken

(go to town)
Reflections in a shattered window
I see me looking back at me and I know
It's just the glass that's cracked cuz I
I'm no longer broken
No no nooo
I'm not broke, I'm not broke, I'm not broken

Cuz a memory is just a cut that wants to heal
And each beat of my heart is just another chance to feel
A strength that I forgot I had when our last words were spoken
It's been too long since you broke me
Now I'm breakin' up with broken
Yeah, you might think you broke me
Now I'm breakin' up with broken
