My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys (First Draft Phone Memo) Lyrics
[Intro]
Hey, so, um, this is kind of an abnormal structure,
but I think it could be really cool this way. And just,
it sounds sad ’cause it’s on piano, um, and,
I’m sad in general. But um, it’s gotta have,
like, a driving synth beat, or whatever

[Verse 1]
Oh, here we go again
The voices in his head
Ring out louder than our midnight sighs
The sickest army doll
Purchased at the mall
Rivulets descend my plastic smile

[Pre-Chorus]
But you should’ve seen him when he first got me

[Chorus]
My boy only breaks his favorite toys, toys, oh
I’m queen of sand castles he destroys, oh, oh
‘Cause it fit too right, puzzle pieces in the dead of night
Should’vе known it was a matter of time, oh, oh
My boy only breaks his favoritе toys, oh

[Verse 2]
There was a litany of reasons why
It could’ve been different this time
I know I’m just repeating myself
Put me back on my shelf
But first, pull the string
I’ll tell you that he runs
Because he loves me

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause you should’ve seen him when he first saw me

[Chorus]
My boy only breaks his favorite toys, toys, oh
I’m queen of the kingdoms he destroys, oh, oh
‘Cause I knew too much, there was danger in the heat of my touch
Said forever, then he blew it up, oh, oh
My boy only breaks his favorite toys, toys

[Outro]
Just say when, I’d play again
He was my best friend and that was the worst part
I felt more then in brief moments
Than with all the Kens
‘Cause he took me out of my box
Left all these broken parts
And kept my tortured heart
And told me I’m better off
But I’m not

[Outro]
And I think you can just end it like that
