Break It Up

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.

Made myself a prisoner

I locked myself away

Can't remember the last time

I saw the light of day

Don't want to face life

Feel I've been betrayed

I want you tell me

Where our love went astray

So can't you wait one more minute

Why can't you wait one more day

Let's get it straight

'Cause it's a big mistake

We better think about it

I don't want to break it up

Why do we have to break it up?

Never ever want to break it up oh no

I only wanna make it up tonight

You say you've thought about it

But you sound so cold

You make it look like our love

Can be bought or sold

You won't listen

You say it's way too late

That something is missing

And now you just can't wait

Why can't you wait one more minute?

Why can't you wait? Give me one more day

Let's get it straight

This is a big mistake

We better think about it

I don't want to break it up

Why do we have to break it up?

Never ever want to break it up

Oh no, I only wanna make it up tonight

So don't say break it up, break it up

I wanna hear you say we'll make it up, make it up

I don't want to break it up

Oh baby, why can't we make it up tonight?

Make it up tonight, make it up tonight

And I ask myself

What's wrong with me?

How could I be so blind?

I know she tried to give me everything

But I still couldn't see

Now as I watch our love slip away

I'm begging you, begging you, please

Don't break it up, break it up

Take a little time and make it up, make it up

I don't want to break it up

Oh no, I only wanna make it up tonight

I don't want to break it up

Baby let me make it up

Oh no no, no no

I, don't break it up, no no

Tonight, make it up, make it up

oh, yeah, make it up, make it up
