Lyrics
Break This Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you could see you
The way that I see you
The way I perceive you
No
I never came
To deceive you
Or sit high above you
Or lock doors behind you
But only to love you
Inside the refrain
But I just might
Break this time
Mothers and fathers
They don't have
All the answers
Can't see past
The chain link
They laid on the line
So break another picture
Or better yet sit there
Inside the stillness
Yeah, this time
But I just might
Break this time
Whoever told you
There'd be no danger
Nothing to fear here
In this house of pain
So speak to me softly
And tell me you love me
And we'll join together
Inside the refrain
But I just might
Break this time
Yeah
I just might
Break this time
