"Broken Toy" lyrics
(I can't stop)
(I can't stop)
(I can't stop feeling like a broken toy)
The words are on the tip of my tongue
And I'm tripping over everything that's happened so far
So getting my footing when my balance is off
Is like a man on a tightrope in a wind-tunnel dream
I think, I thought that something would change
When I saw you watch me walking up to you by the wall
Considering how long it had been until then
It was a moment frozen solid never mind what it seemed
And I can't stop feeling like a broken toy
Cause when you played with my heart, I became a little boy
And once you get used to the pain you can't turn back
Because of you I'm where I am now
At the bottom of the list of things you wanted to do
Apparently you had it with your little game
So you just crossed me off as if I were an errand you ran
I gave it up, it's all I could do
I've been chasing after nothing for as long as I could
Replacing me only for no reason to find
Somebody's gotta have something more to dispose in the can
And I can't stop feeling like a broken toy
Cause when you played with my heart, I became a little boy
And once you get used to the pain you can't turn back
No, I can't stop feeling like a broken toy
The way you threw me away made me more paranoid
I guess it's better for you to buy new than to repair the cracks
And I can't stop
I can't stop
And I can't stop feeling like a broken toy
I can't stop feeling like a broken toy
(Like a broken toy)
Oh, I can't stop feeling like a broken toy
Cause when you played with my heart, I became a real boy
And once you get used to the pain you can't turn back again
No, I can't stop feeling like-uh
I can't stop feeling like-uh
Broken toy
(I can't stop)
(I can't stop feeling like a broken toy)
The words are on the tip of my tongue
And I'm tripping over everything that's happened so far
So getting my footing when my balance is off
Is like a man on a tightrope in a wind-tunnel dream
I think, I thought that something would change
When I saw you watch me walking up to you by the wall
Considering how long it had been until then
It was a moment frozen solid never mind what it seemed
And I can't stop feeling like a broken toy
Cause when you played with my heart, I became a little boy
And once you get used to the pain you can't turn back
Because of you I'm where I am now
At the bottom of the list of things you wanted to do
Apparently you had it with your little game
So you just crossed me off as if I were an errand you ran
I gave it up, it's all I could do
I've been chasing after nothing for as long as I could
Replacing me only for no reason to find
Somebody's gotta have something more to dispose in the can
And I can't stop feeling like a broken toy
Cause when you played with my heart, I became a little boy
And once you get used to the pain you can't turn back
No, I can't stop feeling like a broken toy
The way you threw me away made me more paranoid
I guess it's better for you to buy new than to repair the cracks
And I can't stop
I can't stop
And I can't stop feeling like a broken toy
I can't stop feeling like a broken toy
(Like a broken toy)
Oh, I can't stop feeling like a broken toy
Cause when you played with my heart, I became a real boy
And once you get used to the pain you can't turn back again
No, I can't stop feeling like-uh
I can't stop feeling like-uh
Broken toy
