"When You Break" lyrics

"When You Break"

Spoiled, selfish little child
Went out to play out in the wild
I found you shaking like a leaf
Underneath your family tree
You could never live out in the open
Regretting every word you've spoken
When you break, it's too late for you to fall apart
And the blame that you claim is all your own fault

But you've been crying now for forever
But forever's come and gone
You keep begging for forgiveness
But you don't think you've done wrong
You've been crying now for forever
But forever's come and gone
My pleading hands, your shaking head

And as your love starts to surround you
All of their words are trying to drown you
When you break, it's too late for you to fall apart
And the blame that you claim is all your own fault

But you've been crying now for forever
But forever's come and gone
You keep begging for forgiveness
But you don't think you've done wrong
You've been crying now for forever
But forever's come and gone
My pleading hands, your shaking head

So tell me another beautiful lie
Tell me everything I want to hear
Won't you lay here by my side?
I want to fuck away all my fear

Tell me another beautiful lie
Tell me everything I want to hear
Won't you lay here by my side?
I want to fuck away all my fear

Tell me another beautiful lie
Tell me everything I want to hear
Won't you lay here by my side?
I want to fuck away all my fear

Tell me another beautiful lie
Tell me everything I want to hear
Won't you lay here by my side?
I want to fuck away all my fear

And I have seen all that you have seen
And I have been where you have been
No, our hands will never be clean
At least we can hold each other
