Break You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was your girl
Gave you my world
My everything
But you wouldn’t see
I had your back
I backed you up
Whatever I did
Was never enough

[Pre-Chorus]
Just you
You
That’s all you ever thought about
You
You
No one matters like you do
What goes around comes around
You should know by now

[Chorus]
Bet you never thought that I could break you
Did you think that I would look the other way
Yeah you had it all figured out
But tell me who’s the one who’s crying now
[Verse 2]
The palm of your hand
That was your plan
Gave me no time
But now you want mine
It’s all about take
You took too much
Nothing inside
I’m all used up

[Pre-Chorus]
Come on
You
You
Nothing else matters like you do
You know what I’m talkin’ ‘bout don’t you
What goes around comes around
You should know by now

[Chorus]
Bet you never thought that I could break you
Did you think that I would look the other way
Yeah you had it all figured out
But tell me who’s the one who’s crying now

[Bridge]
On your one night stand
(Should’ve thought about that)
Says she’s just a friend
(Should’ve thought about that)
Are you satisfied now?
(Should’ve thought about that)
‘Cause you can’t hold me down now
I wanna thank you ‘cause now I’m free
I can breathe again and I’m never going back to you
[Chorus]
Bet you never thought that I could break you
Did you think that I would look the other way
Yeah you had it all figured out
But tell me who’s the one who’s crying now
Yeah yeah
Bet you never thought that I could break you
(Bet you never thought that I could break you)
Did you think that I would look the other way
Yeah you had it all figured out
But tell me who’s the one who’s crying now

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
