Break... Break... Break... Break
Break... Break... Break... Break
Break... Break... Break
I'm breaking away from you
Open your hands and show me what you're holding
Is it an emerald, or is it a pearl?
What other information are you withholding?
You're such a funny girl
Where is your mother, where did she go to?
Was your father a sailor or a thief?
Who are your brothers, where did they came from?
I'd wish you'd tell me about them at least
But you're so silent, you're so gentle
I think my brain will go
This town's your town, yeah, and this room's your temple
And now you know why I have to go
That's what it takes to love you
That's what it takes to love you too
That's what it takes to hate you too
I just go on and
Break... Break... Break... Break
Break... Break... Break... Break
Break... Break... Break
I'm breaking, breaking, breaking away from you
Don't give me words with no meanings
Don't give me problems that you can't solve
Ha! Don't tell me now you're revealing
Things we talked of long ago
I know you're ways, I know your silence
This could go on all day
This is the way this is the violence
And now you know why I can't stay
That's what it takes to love you
That's what it takes to love you too
That's what it takes to hate you too
I just go on and
Break... Break... Break... Break
Break... Break... Break... Break
Break... Break... Break
I'm breaking away from you
