[Verse 1]
Just like the tree branches
When the wind's a bit too strong
Just like an open heart
Taken for granted a bit too long
And just like the clouds
When the sun starts shinin' through
Might hurt a lot right now
But sometimes the only thing to do
[Chorus]
When it breaks
Let it break
Let it break
Some things you're not supposed to save
So when it breaks
Let it break
[Verse 2]
Just like a wave rolling
Getting closer to the shore
One minute it's sky-high
The next, like it was never there before
And just 'cause I loved you
I always found a way to bend
Guess I had to let my heart get split in two
To finally listen to my head
[Chorus]
Saying when it breaks
Let it break
Let it break
Some things will never be the same
So when it breaks
Let it break
[Outro]
I picked up our pieces
So many times off the floor
Held 'em until my hands were bleeding
But they don't fit together anymore
