Break
Of David Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Found a lighter in my dresser
Half a pack of camel blues
Haven't touched 'em in forever
Glad I haven't wanted to
Been thinking 'bout the bigger picture
Since you walked into the frame
Like who I see in the mirror
But what if things got rearranged
If we ever break up
Wonder what I'd do with all the time we take up
Would I get back every bad habit I left for us
I've changed so much
Know who I was
And who I am but who would I become
If we ever break up
Would I ever go to Brooklyn
If you weren't showin' me around
Or play that song by Kenny Chesney
Would it sound the same as now
Hope I never have to find out
If we ever break up
Wonder what I'd do with all the time we take up
Would I get back every bad habit I left for us
I've changed so much
Know who I was
And who I am but who would I become
If we ever break up
If you're ever thinking about what I'd do without you
I'm glad i don't have a clue
If we ever break up
Wonder what I'd do with all the time we take up
Would I get back every bad habit I left for us
I've changed so much
Know who I was
And who I am but who would I become




If we ever break up
If we ever break up

Overall Meaning

The first few lines set the scene, with the singer discovering a lighter and a half pack of cigarettes in their dresser, which they haven't used in a while.

I'm walking away
From the troubles in my life

I'm walking away
Oh, to find a better day

I'm walking away
I'm walking away
From the troubles in my life
I'm walking away
Oh, to find a better day
I'm walking away

Sometimes some people get me wrong
When it's something I've said or done
Sometimes you feel there is no fun
That's why you turn and run

But now I truly realize
Some people don't wanna compromise
Well, I saw them with my own eyes
Spreading those lies, yeah

Well, I don't wanna live a lie
Too many sleepless nights
Not mentioning the fights
I'm sorry to say lady

I'm walking away
From the troubles in my life
I'm walking away
Oh, to find a better day
I'm walking away

From the troubles in my life
I'm walking away
Oh, to find a better day
I'm walking away

Well, I'm so tired, baby
Of things you say, you're driving me away
Whispers in the powder room, baby
Don't listen to the games they play

Girl, I thought you'd realized
I'm not like them other guys
'Cause I saw them with my own eyes
You should've been more wise, babe

Well, I don't wanna live a lie
Too many sleepless nights
Not mentioning the fights
I'm sorry to say lady

I'm walking away
From the troubles in my life
I'm walking away
Oh, to find a better day
I'm walking away
From the troubles in my life
I'm walking away
Oh, to find a better day
I'm walking away
From the troubles in my life
I'm walking away
Oh, to find a better day
I'm walking away
From the troubles in my life
I'm walking away
Oh, to find a better day
