[Verse 1]
I'm not knocking your want to carry that home
You took it with you when you moved and got it broke
We found the pieces, we counted them all alone
Didn’t add up, forgot to carry a zero
[Refrain]
Zero, oh
Zero, oh
[Verse 2]
I can't be your apologist very long
I'm surprised that you’d want to carry that on

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Fall apart, fall apart, la, da-da, da-da
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Fall apart, fall apart, la, da-da, da-da
Fall apart
