lyrics

Chorus

Mike
Honeymoon’s over, no doubt,
from hot and heavy fire to cold shoulder blowout,
sped up, developed, got fed up then slowed down, STOPPED!
End of the road, where we going now?
Tried to hold out, why you so proud?
Yelling so loud like the front row crowd at a show sold out,
don’t care, go pout,
I didn’t know before but you know I know now,
I wrote poems bout’ those eyes, smiles,
used to light me up inside, now the bulbs out,
good idea then and bad result now,
see through your words get the picture call it ultra sound,
paid the price tried to keep the cost down,
you lost the plot and caused an awful lot of drama on the spot
just to boss me around,
on my jock non-stop, put my balls - down.
So I can let em’ hang swang free in the breeze,
tensed up then I calmed down,
liking that you’re not around,
Mike’s been writing insightful songs now,
you were always right, guess what? you are wrong now,
hostile and volatile, not my style,
all the while I was on trial, locked in the doghouse,
dreading all the treading water, head above to not-drowned.
Claiming it’s my fault? How?
Pointing fingers, placing blame,
babe we took the wrong route,
drove me crazy, changing lanes,
maybe we just stalled out, broke down to fall out?
Rolled down a hill and off a cliff,
how’s the song sound?
Chorus

Garnet
she...
broke my heart so I broke her car,
after that we didn't have a reason not to break apart
when she left, she broke every item in my flat
broke a promise to myself I wouldn't get mad, bitch! C’mon...
broke the record for the quickest breakup i had ever known
no point holding on to what I knew was broke,
oh, but I passed a good lesson
she had all the answers, I was asking broken questions
on a break at work, I broke my smoke in half,
tried to light it anyway, last one in the pack
had to laugh, 'cause all my luck is broken,
at least i got something, 2 half smokes man,
break it down
now i'm writing on this breakbeat,
still trying to figure out exactly what it takes to be me,
learn a little more every day,
the song stays the same, but yeah them's the breaks.
