Break To Save
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.
Looking for grace and beauty
My heart has turned to stone
I have the power to leave this
To love my home and still outgrow
I am free to redefine me
Nothing more terrifying
I'm about to say something
That will lose you
That will cut our ties
I was only dreaming
Of a future fantasy
I would be the savior
Not the breaker of the family
Do you know who your enemy is
Could it be the one you love
What I love starts to become me
DNA map in my blood
I was only dreaming
Of a future fantasy
I would be the savior
Not the breaker of the family
I didn’t see it coming
Thought I could bring you with me
I will need to break to save
The truth that’s left in me. (inside of me)
Hind sight is twenty twenty
When you’re in it it’s hard to tell
Living with the sinking feeling
Working against myself
I was only dreaming
Of a future fantasy
Where I would be the savior
Not the breaker of the family
I didn’t see it coming
But I would do it all the same
I can fall to pieces
When I'm on the way to change, break to save
Looking for grace, for beauty
Walk into the unknown
I leave to redefine me
But I love you and I let you go
