"Brakes" lyrics

When you think about being away from your one true love
You convince yourself it'll be okay, but it's not enough
At first, it's enough
But time makes it tough

It's the brakes, it always breaks the heart
It's the brakes, it always breaks the heart
It's the takes, it always takes the feeling that awakes
The moment that it falls apart, yeah

Her words sound sweet on the other end of that line
I'm paralyzed by the state I'm in, losing my mind
My crazy mind
Crazy, hazy mind

It's the brakes, it always breaks the heart
It's the brakes, it always breaks the heart
It's the takes, it always takes the feeling that awakes
The moment that it falls apart, yeah

Walkin' hotel hallways like Olympic tracks
Shoot after shoot
Talkin' to myself, I stop and stretch my back
I'm just boiling for you
Tea for two
There's absolutely nothing I can do 'cause

It's the brakes, it always breaks the heart
It's the brakes, it always breaks the heart
It's the takes, it always takes the feeling that awakes
The moment that it falls apart, yeah

Same phone call, what'd you do today?
Cool, gotta go
How could all those hours give us nothin' to say?
I'll never know
My days move slow
Still, they give me nothin' I can't show you

But the brakes, it always breaks the heart
Yeah, the brakes, it always breaks the heart
It's the takes, it always takes the feeling that awakes
The moment that it falls apart, yeah

I wanna see the world through your eyes again
Want my friend standin' by
I wanna touch your body, wanna kiss your skin
Tuck in, nestle my
Head on your chest and cry
Cry, baby, cry

It's the brakes, it always breaks the heart
It's the brakes, it always breaks the heart
It's the takes, it always takes the feeling that awakes
The moment that it falls apart

It's the brakes, it always breaks the heart
It's the brakes, it always breaks the heart
It's the aches that make you feel the wounds that wanna heal
From way too much time apart

Cry, baby, cry
Cry, baby, cry
Cry, baby, cry
Yeah
