Lemme tell you just how bad it feels
‘Cause I’ve lived through it firsthand
Don’t get any better this, boy
It’s like waking up in Zombieland
Have you ever been broken
Have you ever been split in two
Have you ever been smashed to bits
Till there’s nothing left but residue
Have you ever been broken
Have you ever been broken
Lemme tell you just how much it sucks
And every day is one more day to rue
You say you want to end it all
But you’re a coward through and through
Have you ever been hurt so bad
Have you ever felt the deepest sad
Lemme tell you it ain’t no Penny Lane
This desert where you find yourself marooned
You can try to escape to the past
But nostalgia is just pain from an old wound
