Analysis of Mangled and broken
Slammed again.
Mangled and broken on the floor.
Running on empty for too long.
Saw it coming, again.
Makes no difference.
Mangled and broken on the floor.
Saw it coming, again.
Im going to stay here on the floor.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Just not true.
Mangled and broken on the floor.
Just cant get back up again.
I know life isnt meant to be easy.
Saw it coming, again.
Mangled and broken on the floor.
Im just going to stay here.
What is the point.
Selfish me.
Slammed again.
