Lyrics

Break the Girl

Cold days you go away
In search of finding something
To keep alive the flame
Then she came
Pocketful 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 and 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 the line, she walked the bridge
And now you're leaving
You break the girl and take the pearl
Like she's good for nothing

Caught up in the hems
Said I was your baby
But nothing ever gave
Frayed at the ends
Still not making sense
I'm crying at a 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 and 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 the line, she walked the bridge
And now you're leaving
You break the girl and take the pearl
Like she's good for nothing

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
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 the line, she walked the bridge
And now you're leaving
You break the girl and take the pearl
Like she's good for nothing
Like she's good for nothing

Ready? (That sounds close now, I'm ready)
Okay

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
(Break the girl) la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
(Break the girl) la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
(Break the girl) la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
(Break the girl) la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
