[Verse 1]
I wear the red shoes with the holes
To remind me what we went through
Sit down here, kick 'em off enough
I've not had enough of you
I tell you, "You know the car you drive
Keeps breaking down and never starts"
Next thing, I'm pulling up to you
We're in the backseat, driving it home
No one wants to be alone
[Chorus]
What do you do?
What do you do when everything is broken?
What do you say?
What do you say when no words fit the moment?
'Cause you're not here
And even if you were, all I could say is
What do I do? What do I do?
We're broken, but I can't throw us away
[Verse 2]
The video of our vacation's
Chewed up in the drawer beside me
She thinks I never got to watch it
I'm so glad I made a copy
The sky got bitter twisted
Just like you and me, I miss it
You snap it, bend it, burn it
Then you find that you can't fix it
Fall back on whatever still remains
[Chorus]
What do you do?
What do you do when everything is broken?
What do you say?
What do you say when no words fit the moment?
'Cause you're not here
And even if you were, all I could say is
What do I do? What do I do?
We're broken, but I can't throw us away
[Bridge]
Breaking you in, breaking your heart
I was taking it all and I tore you apart
Breaking me in, breaking my heart
And the damage was done
But I took what you got
We were breakin' it, smashin' it
Takin' it, lovin' it, hatin' it
Drivin' it home
And now I'm all, now I'm all alone
[Breakdown]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh, what do you do?
Oh, what do you do?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
[Chorus]
What do you do?
What do you do when everything is broken?
What do you say?
What do you say when no words fit the moment?
'Cause you're not here
And even if you were, all I could say is
What do I do? What do I do?
We're broken, but I can't throw us away
