“Shattered” is a forewarning to Chris’ love interest that he’s “broken” and incapable of falling in love as he tries to ward her off. In the chorus, he questions why love isn’t easy and pleads with his partner to “stand in love.” It’s possible that “Shattered” is a continuation of the EP’s preceding...
[Verse 1]
Don't fall for me
I won't fall for you
I bruise easily
It takes too long to recover
When you're broken
Nothin' even matters
And when you're shattered
It's hard to find the pieces scattered
[Chorus]
Why, oh, why?
Must it be so complicated?
Why, oh, why?
Can we stand in love?
[Post-Chorus]
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Can we stand in love?
[Verse 2]
Don't fall for me
I won't fall for you
I bruise easily
It takes too long to recover
[Chorus]
Why, oh, why?
Must it be so complicated?
Why, oh, why?
Can we stand in love?
[Post-Chorus]
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Can we stand in love?
[Verse 3]
Oh, don't fall for me, nah
I won't fall for you
I bruise easily
It takes too long to recover
I'm lonely, heartbroken
You're not wrapped up in my arms tonight
Don't leave, no, I
It takes too long to recover
[Chorus]
Why, oh, why?
Must it be so complicated?
Why, oh, why?
Can we stand in love?
[Post-Chorus]
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Can we stand in love?
