Why'd you go and bDreak what's alCready Bbbroken C  
I try to take a brDeath but I'm aClready BbchokinCg 
How loDng till thCis goes aBbway C  
DI try to Fremember to forget yCou 
But I bGreak down every time I dDo 
It's left me Fless than zero 
CBeat down and bGruised 
I can't Csee Bbhim wCith Dyou 
Why'd you go and break what's already broken 
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking 
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him 
How long till this goes away 
I can't seem to get my heart over you 
Cause you creep into everything I do 
And now I'm dying to know 
How he touches you 
I can't see him with you 
Why'd you go and break what's already broken 
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking 
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him 
How long till this goes away 
How long till this goes away

I can tell you're lying when your lips move 
Cause of one lie it's not me it's you 
It's left me less than zero 
Beat down and bruised

Why'd you go and break what's already broken 
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking 
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him
