Oh, I Wish I Took Care Of My Phone!

I was walking on a street when I pulled my phone from my pocket,
I was out of my mind I pulled it as fast as a rocket, “SMASH!”, it fell on the floor,
Everyone was looking at me as if I started a war,
When I thought of all the money going down the drain I felt a lot of pain,
I was about to go insane.

When I picked it up I felt it crying deep inside,
Oh, I wish I took care of my phone,
Oh, I wish I took care of my phone,
Oh, I loved it’s ringtone
I would rather break my own bone.

I thought about the money getting thrown away,
Oh, the money getting blown away
The sad rain falling down all day
I don’t wanna pay.
I’m just gonna go and cry for the rest of the day.
