[Verse 1]
It's a bad idea, I knew it from the start
'Cause she made it clear I would never hold her heart

[Pre-Chorus]
She said no, said no, told me not to cry
I won't go, won't go, I would rather die
I will never find another one like this

[Chorus]
She's like a broken machine
You took the veil off the light
We couldn’t dance to the beat no more
Just a matter of time
And now the matter is shading
And now you'll never be mine
We couldn't dance to the beat no more
Just a matter of time

[Verse 2]
I was standing there, I will never forget
Your empty stare and I knew that was it

[Pre-Chorus]
You said no, said no, told me not to cry
I won't go, won't go, I would rather die
I will never find another one like this
[Chorus]
She's like a broken machine
You took the veil off the light
We couldn’t dance to the beat no more
Just a matter of time
And now the matter is shading
And now you'll never be mine
We couldn't dance to the beat no more
Just a matter of time

[Outro]
Are you sincere? Why you ain't here?
Why you skipping on the record?
Are you sincere? Why you ain't here?
Why you skipping on the record?
So tonight you'll never know, know
So tonight you left me alone, alone
