Break
Annika Wells Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said you wouldn't but you're late again
Making me count the times I should have left you there instead
But your words taste so damn sweet
And our song's playing on repeat
Making me fall for you oh what a mess it's made of me
And it goes
You got me running
One million different ways
And when this whole thing falls apart
Your heart better break
I'm bending backwards
Just to give what you won't take
So when this whole thing falls apart
Your heart better break
We're chilling out on a Monday night
Just us in the firelight
Thinking that this is how it should be with you all the time
All the sudden then you are gone
And I'm left here hanging on
Telling myself I should have known that babe you aren't the one
And it goes
You got me running
One million different ways
And when this whole thing falls apart
Your heart better break
I'm bending backwards
Just to give what you won't take
So when this whole thing falls apart
Your heart better break
Your rip me open
You leave me raw
You leave me crawling back and back and back for more
Well I'm not stupid
I've had enough
And babe I swear I'll have you breaking when I'm done
You got me running
One million different ways
And when this whole thing falls apart
Your heart better break
I'm bending backwards
Just to give what you won't take
So when this whole thing falls apart
Your heart better break
The lyrics to Annika Wells's song "Break" speak to the complicated nature of a toxic relationship. The singer describes how the person she is with causes her both pain and pleasure - their words are sweet and their song plays on repeat, but they constantly let her down and leave her hanging. Despite this, the singer can't help but fall for this person over and over again, even though she knows they're not good for her.
In the chorus, the singer turns the tables by saying "when this whole thing falls apart, your heart better break". This could be interpreted as the singer knowing that this relationship is destined for failure and she wants the other person to feel the pain she has experienced. The singer has been "running one million different ways" for this person, trying to please them and make them happy, but ultimately it seems that they won't take what she's willing to give.
The bridge of the song takes a darker turn, with the singer declaring that the other person has left her "open" and "raw" but that she'll have them "breaking when she's done". This could be seen as a threat or a promise to exact revenge on this person for the way they've treated her. Overall, the lyrics to "Break" are a complex exploration of a difficult relationship and the emotions that come with it.

You pull up here around ten
You arrive at my place around 10 PM
Said you wouldn't but you're late again
You said you wouldn't be late but you are, again
Making me count the times I should have left you there instead
You make me wonder how many times I should have just left you alone
But your words taste so damn sweet
Your words sound so sweet to me
And our song's playing on repeat
We're listening to our song repeatedly
Making me fall for you oh what a mess it's made of me
Your words and our song make me fall for you, even though it's causing me problems
You got me running
You make me busy, running around
One million different ways
In so many different ways
And when this whole thing falls apart
And if this relationship ends
Your heart better break
I hope you feel the heartbreak I do
I'm bending backwards
I'm going out of my way
Just to give what you won't take
Just to give you things you don't even want
We're chilling out on a Monday night
We're relaxing on a Monday night
Just us in the firelight
Just the two of us in the light of the fire
Thinking that this is how it should be with you all the time
Imagining that this is how it should always be with you
All the sudden then you are gone
Suddenly, you disappear
And I'm left here hanging on
And I'm left here, trying to hold on
Telling myself I should have known that babe you aren't the one
Telling myself that I should have realized you weren't the right one for me
Your rip me open
You hurt me badly
You leave me raw
You leave me feeling very emotional and vulnerable
You leave me crawling back and back and back for more
You leave me wanting more, even though it hurts me
Well I'm not stupid
I'm not foolish
I've had enough
I have reached my limit
And babe I swear I'll have you breaking when I'm done
And I swear that I'll make you feel the pain once I'm through with you
