I’m breaking
I’m quitting
I’m done
All because of you

Are you happy
Without you I’m done
I won’t try
Not when you don’t

I’m breaking
I’m quitting
I’m done
All because of you

You never looked at me
Never noticed what I am
You barely knew I was gone
But now I will refuse to return

I’m breaking
I’m quitting
I’m done
All because of you

You pushed away
You never cared
You shattered my dreams
You’re no longer here

I’m breaking
I’m quitting
I’m done
I have shattered...
