Lyrics

I never knew I was up against a million
You always swore that this town could kill me
But you made me feel like I could close my eyes and win it
'Til one day you told me that your heart wasn't in it

Well you left me broken, you never looked back
Well you got what you came for and
I never knew I was broken, under the gun
'Til you pulled yourself together while I came undone
Oh, I've come undone

When the bottom dropped out, everything turned around
The floors became ceilings that were keeping me down
I had to crawl out the keyhole, leave the past to that room
Cuz there were pieces of me still clinging to you

Cuz you left me broken, you never looked back
Well you got what you came for and
I never knew I was broken, under the gun
'Til you pulled yourself together while I came undone
Oh, I've come undone

Well this town hasn't killed me, at least not today
I may be one in a million, but I like it that way
I heard your song on the radio, the last one you wrote
Every word seemed familiar, every strain, every note

When you said you were broken, falling through the cracks
I needed someone to lean on, but I never knew you were broken
falling apart
When it was you that was crumbling, you tried to hide you were broken, you never looked back
Well you got what you came for and
I never knew I was broken, under the gun
'Til you pulled yourself together while I came undone
Oh, I've come undone
Undone
Undone
Undone
