Break It
Breaking the Glass: A Heartfelt Plea for Authentic Love
Lyrics
You're saying those three words but you don't mean one
You're expressing love verbally, but sincerity is lacking in at least one of those words.
You swear you won't go anywhere but if you could you'd run
You insist you won't leave, but deep down, you'd prefer to escape if given the chance.
If you're going through the motions
You're going through the motions, attempting to act right for the other person.
Trying to do right by me
You're trying to act in a way that benefits the speaker.
I don't want you here if you just wanna leave
The speaker doesn't want you around if your intention is to eventually leave.
So take your promise take your word
The speaker suggests taking back promises and words.
Take your I won't make ya hurt
Take back assurances that you won't cause pain.
And I'll Take my heart and take my trust
The speaker will reclaim their heart and trust.
Take my I'll do anything for us
The speaker is willing to do anything for the relationship.
Cuz if I'm not your reason for staying
If the speaker isn't the reason for staying, drastic action is suggested.
Take this glass house we've been making
The metaphorical glass house symbolizes the fragile relationship.
And just break it, just break it
Suggesting breaking the fragile relationship.
You're putting me before the cold hard truth
You prioritize the speaker over harsh realities.
I know you're scared to let me down I'm just as scared as you
Acknowledging fear of disappointing the speaker.
If you're holding on and thinking that it's easier to stay
If you're holding on without real commitment, it's better to leave.
It's worse to lead me on like this
Leading the speaker on is worse than ending the relationship.
And best you walk away
Suggesting it's best for you to walk away.
So take your promise take your word
Reiterating the idea of taking back promises and words.
Take your I won't make ya hurt
Withdraw assurances of not causing hurt.
And I'll Take my heart and take my trust
The speaker will reclaim their heart and trust.
Take my I'll do anything for us
Expressing willingness to do anything for the relationship.
Cuz if I'm not your reason for staying
If the speaker isn't the reason for staying, a significant change is needed.
Take this glass house we've been making
Repeating the metaphor of the fragile relationship and the suggestion to break it.
And just break it, just break it
Emphasizing the need to break the fragile relationship.
Let me break it down for you baby
The speaker intends to clarify things for the listener.
If you want an out this is me saying
If you desire an exit, the speaker is expressing the need for honesty about it.
Take your promise take your word
Repeating the idea of taking back promises and words, and suggesting an end to efforts to make it work.
Let's stop trying to make it work
Encouraging a stop in attempts to salvage the relationship.
And I'll take my heart and take my trust
The speaker will reclaim their heart and trust.
Take my I'll do anything for us
Expressing willingness to do anything for the relationship.
To someone who will never go and waste it
Suggesting giving love and effort to someone who values and reciprocates it.
Build something that's really worth saving
Encouraging the building of something meaningful and worth preserving.
And never break it
Emphasizing the importance of not breaking what is truly valuable.
