Breakin' In
lily rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been tellin′ all my friends I just don't wanna spend money
Go out and buy some drinks that′ll get me drinkin' about you
I know by now I should've found somethin′ or somebody
To move me on but I don′t wanna someone new, no, no

If I'm ever gonna close that door
One thing′s for sure

I gotta get to breakin' in this broken heart
Start gettin′ used to walkin' through this town
Without my arms ′round you
In a dive on a Saturday night
Haven't let you go but I know that I should start
Breakin' in this broken heart
Breakin′ in this broken heart

When you put the ball inside the glove
Throw it underneath the mattress
Or scuff the soles and stretch the leather
In some brand new boots
Yeah, I′ve been lyin', makin′ excuses
Just buyin' time when, girl the truth is

I gotta get to breakin′ in this broken heart
Start gettin' use to walkin′ through this town
Without my arms 'round you
In a dive on a Saturday night
Haven't let you go but I know that I should start
Breakin′ in this broken heart

Baby, you make it so hard
Breakin′ in this broken heart
Baby, you're makin′ me fall apart, yeah

I gotta get to breakin' in this broken heart
Start gettin′ used to walkin' through this town
Without my arms ′round you
In a dive on a Saturday night
Haven't let you go but I know that I should start
Breakin' in this broken heart

Baby, you make it so hard
Breakin′ in this broken heart
Baby, you′re makin' me fall apart
Breakin′ in this broken heart
Breakin' in this broken heart
