Feelings are hurt,
Hearts are broken,
Scorched and burnt,
Am I only a token?
One to stuff
In your pocket,
Feel the beat,
Just like a drum,
And keep in time,
Listen to the music,
Listen to the music of my soul

I felt like I was just another girl to add to his list of hearts he broke. I felt like just a number, like a token, nearly worthless, after he broke my heart.
