"Break The Girl" lyrics

Cold days you go away
In search of finding something
To keep alive the flame
Then she came
Pocket full of rain
Said pick up the embers
But you have to hide the pain

If you can't take it back
Why'd you do her like that?

You break the girl then take the pearl
Like it's good for nothing
You say you love but then you don't
Show her any of it
You crossed line she walked the bridge
And now you're leaving
You break the girl then take the pearl
Like she's good for nothing

Caught up in the hem
Said I was your baby but nothing ever gave
Frayed at the ends
Still not making sense
Crying at the movie when I should feel something else

If you can't take it back
Why'd you do me like that?

You break the girl then take the pearl
Like it's good for nothing
You say you love but then you don't
Show her any of it
You crossed line she walked the bridge
And now you're leaving
You break the girl then take the pearl
Like she's good for nothing

La la la la
La la la la

Why break the girl?
She's just a girl
Why break the girl, no?
She's just a girl
Why break the girl?

Mother of pearl, why did you turn?
You're tryna teach something that you will never learn
You crossed line she walked the bridge
And now you're leaving
You break the girl then take the pearl
Like she's good for nothing
Like she's good for nothing

La la la la...
Break the girl...
