Like a child when his toy’s been stepped on

That’s how it all seemed to me
I burst the bubble that both of us lived in
And I’m damned if I’ll ever get rid of this guilt that I feel
And if looks could kill then I’d be a dead man
Your friends and mine don’t call no more
Hell, I thought it was best but now I feel branded
Breaking up’s sometimes like breaking the law
Breaking up’s sometimes like breaking the law
