Atom Bomb
Broken Hearts and Atomic Desires: Gabriel Ryan's Explosive Tale
Lyrics
You cut pieces off me every day
You constantly take away parts of me every day.
Squeeze my heart onto your dinner plate
You emotionally drain me, making my love a vulnerable offering.
Melt my love down in a mushroom cloud
Your actions dissolve my love in a destructive manner, likened to a mushroom cloud.
Destroy my life and leave me on the ground
You ruin my life and leave me in a state of despair.
'Cause you know I feel like

I'm Broken
Feeling shattered and incomplete.
Like an atom bomb
Comparing the emotional impact to that of an explosive atom bomb.
Girl, you tear me up
You emotionally devastate and distress me.
Broken
Continuing the theme of feeling broken, with uncertainty about how to overcome it.
Don't know how to stop

We can go, we can love
We have the option to go and love, despite the challenges.
Girl you know you're good enough

Feel it with desire

Set my heart on fire

I can never get you off my brain

You got me addicted like novocaine

But you never let me come take your drug

The pain's too much, going through withdrawal
