Break It Up
Mike Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don’t think there is no time to say
I thought you would be gone away, oh
I’m wrestling up with my faith
And all along you was a fake, was a fake
Fakin’ now you’re takin’ all my time away
I would stay but I just want a break, break, break, oh oh, yeah
Break it down for me break it down for me, yeah
Break it down for me break it down for me, oh
Woah oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh oh oh
If only you knew
Maybe you would still be here
I’m telling you I thought that I could trust you
I could bust through, lust too, but
Who was right? Nobody no
I came in and out
Heard you clear and loud
But I know what I’m about and that’s nobody like you
That’s nobody like you, oh oh oh
Now I moved on
No time to worry just time to be strong
Can’t think about all the things that we’ve done
‘Cause everything was meant to be gone
I tried to tell myself about you all along
But now I gotta talk about you in a song
Break it down for me break it down for me, yeah
Break it down for me break it down for me, oh
Woah oh oh, oh oh oh oh




Woah oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh oh oh
