40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year: Broken account so I broke a sweat. I've bought some things that I sort of regret about now. Broken glasses, but it broke the ice. You said that I was an asshole and I paid the price. Broken hearts want broken necks. I've done some things that I want to forget but I can't. Broke my pace and ran out of time. Sometimes I'm so full of shit that it should be a crime. Broke up, and I'm relieved somehow. It's the end of the discussions that just go round and round And round, and round, and round, and round, And round, and round. It shouldn't have been anyway.
