You don't know what you've broken in me
You don't know what you've broken in me

When this whole mess began, I thought
I'd come to know you better
As I get let go those things you sought
You'd give me only terror

I was so blind to what you are
Leeching off me, you'd smother
Hoping I wouldn't see you'd gone too far
I'm not your only lover

I'd tell myself it was something else
Maybe just paranoia
But now I find myself put back on the shelf
Discarded like a toy, yeah

chorus
(Never ever what I wanted to be)
Never ever what I wanted to be
(You tore me up and turned me out on the street)
You tore me up and turned me out on the street
(You've got another, now I'm history)
Do you see I'm feeling ex-rental
You don't know what you've broken in me

repeat chorus

You don't know what you've broken in me

With idle time on idle hands
When we were not together
You'd do the rounds whilst I made plans
Considering forever

I guess I thought those errant ways
Ingrained within your nature
Would fade as I'd come to you each day
Now they're asking me if I hate you

But I can't, you see, though the chemistry
Is dying, it'll never recover
Now you've thrust that dirty cleaver into me
The truth you let me discover

repeat chorus twice

I thought in time we could relate
Your surface cool would dissipate
But now it seems that I'm the
Only one of us who's greiving

A fool, I know, but I'll carry on
It's just right now I'm none too strong
Angry at myself for getting you so wrong, oh

repeat chorus four times
