Shattered feat. Eric Westbrook
R-Swift Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In a way, I need a change
From this burnout scene
Another time, another town
Another everything
But it's always back to you

Stumble out, in the night
From the pouring rain
Made the block, sat and thought
There's more I need
It's always back to you

But I'm good without ya
Yeah, I'm good without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around

Give me a break let me make my own pattern
All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered
I always turn the car around

I had no idea that the night
Would take so damn long
Took it out, on the street
While the rain still falls
Push me back to you

But I'm good without ya
Yeah, I'm good without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around

Give me a break let me make my own pattern
All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered
I always turn the car around

Give it up, give it up, baby
Give it up, give it up, now
Now

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around

All that I feel is the realness I'm faking
Taking my time but it's time that I'm wasting
Always turn the car around

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around





Don't wanna turn that car around
I gotta turn this thing around

Another time, another town
I want to experience new places


Another everything
I need a fresh start

I leave in a disoriented state during the night


From the pouring rain
It's raining heavily outside

I walked around the block and pondered things

Despite trying to move on, I keep coming back to you

I wonder how many more times I can handle breaking before I fall apart


Over the line can't define what I'm after
I've gone too far to know what I want anymore


I always turn the car around
I end up going back to the same place I started


Give me a break let me make my own pattern
Please allow me to make my own decisions


All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered
I need time to heal from this pain


I had no idea that the night
I had no clue the night would be so long


Would take so damn long
Time is passing slowly


Took it out on the street
I expressed my emotions on the street


While the rain still falls
It's still raining outside

I don't want to keep going back


I gotta turn this thing around
I need to make a change
