You Break Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well my friend it seems we’ve come too far to disagree
My knees feel weak and I fell too fast
The tide is high but we swam in too deep
To catch your breath you tear me apart piece by piece
You can take away all this mess
And I could never think anything less of you

[Hook 1]
‘Cos you break me
You numb me
You still seem to stun me
This pain has outrun me
You are all I have left

[Verse 2]
The tide flows out as I leave empty rooms
To spur this on we left that room too long
You open wide and all the lies flow out
To eat you whole
But we both know that you’re too cold
And she said ‘I can put away all those lies
And show you there’s no surprise in me’

[Hook 2]
Well still, you break me
You numb me
You still seem to stun me
This pain has outrun me
You are all that I have left

See Ed Sheeran Live

Get tickets as low as $93

[Verse 3]
Exorcise these demons
But they keep talking to me
I am no believer
But I believe you will relieve me
I believe you will relieve me
And that’s what’s going on

[Hook 1]

[Outro]
You break me

About

In Ed Sheeran’s book A Visual Journey he wrote about the song that featured on his EP Want Some? that led him to drop out of school and fully pursue music, the spark that started his career.

In autumn 2007, a music manager messaged me on MySpace and said ‘I really like your song, “You Break Me.” Can you send me some more?’… I sent him some more songs and he sent a long email back critiquing them, essentially saying ‘No these won’t do at all.’ I remember thinking ‘You f***ing what?’ like, ‘shut up.’ Then he came back and said ‘I’ll hook you up with writing sessions.’"
