Her face is a tumble,
her mind is on fire
You keep telling her you'll change
You know you're a liar
Once she used to hold you
just like you her child
Now she's in the way of something
you know you're going to lose it all
The things that we do in loves name
not until she stands strong can you do the same
Chorus:
(She knew) She never knew
you would treat her this way
(you know) You know that its true
you tried to break the girl
We're ruled by what we deny
by the things we don't say
(You know) You know that its true
you tried to break the girl
You tried to possess
all that moved you at the start
You tied her to your shadow
and made her your slave
Whether this is an end or begin again
well, it's in your hands
Chorus
Why'd you want to break the girl
Break the girl
Why'd you want to break the girl
Break the girl
You know you tried to break the girl
Break the girl
Why do you want to break the girl
her mind is on fire
You keep telling her you'll change
You know you're a liar
Once she used to hold you
just like you her child
Now she's in the way of something
you know you're going to lose it all
The things that we do in loves name
not until she stands strong can you do the same
Chorus:
(She knew) She never knew
you would treat her this way
(you know) You know that its true
you tried to break the girl
We're ruled by what we deny
by the things we don't say
(You know) You know that its true
you tried to break the girl
You tried to possess
all that moved you at the start
You tied her to your shadow
and made her your slave
Whether this is an end or begin again
well, it's in your hands
Chorus
Why'd you want to break the girl
Break the girl
Why'd you want to break the girl
Break the girl
You know you tried to break the girl
Break the girl
Why do you want to break the girl
