Mathew V Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I was bricks and mortar, fallin' down like murder, mmh
What did you take from me?
All the fraction memories, 'Cause if I didn't with my ego, mmh
And I never let your knee go, mmh, oh (Knee go)
And if there was a day, ah, so you say
I was in pieces on the floor, well baby that's before
And if I'm thinkin' back, I don't remember what I was breakin' for
(Not broken anymore, not broken anymore)
(Not broken anymore, not broken any)
(Not broken anymore, not broken anymore)
(Not broken anymore, not broken anymore)
(Any, Not broken any, any)
(Not broken any, any)
(Not broken anymore, any)
(Not broken any)
Why don't you give, give me just one more min?
Without you here beside me
I don't need no one to guide me, mmh, oh
And I don't need to prove how I'm doin without you (Without you)
Cause my hearts no longer breakin', mmh
And my ground, it won't be shakin', mmh
And if there was a day, ah, so you say
I was in pieces on the floor, well baby that's before
And if I'm thinkin' back, I don't remember what I was breakin' for
(Not broken anymore)
(Not broken anymore, not broken anymore)
(Not broken anymore, not broken any)
(Not broken anymore, not broken anymore)
(Not broken anymore, not broken anymore)
(Any, Not broken any, any)
(Not broken any, any)
(Not broken anymore, any)
(Not broken any)
Not broken anymore
I said I'm not broken
Not like you knew me before
I Said I'm a new man
Not broken anymore
Hey, eh-eh-eh-eh
Not broken any, not broken anymore
(Any) Oh
(Broken any) Broken any
(More, any, any, broken any)
(Any, broken any, any)
Not broken anymore
