Broken

Give me a break;
I only said that I wanted to break your face

Because you broke my heart
But you needn’t break a sweat.

From the break of the first dawn on Earth
To when all hell breaks loose once and for all,
I will never break my promise
When I told you that I’ll take a permanent break

From breaking bones,

From breaking all bonds between us,

From breaking again anything you fix,

And even from breaking wind in your presence!

But when you broke the bad news to me

As we broke bread on the beach,

Listening to the waves break on the shore,

You broke me.

You fucking broke everything.
