Lennon explains how this song came together when she was away at a writing camp in Nicaragua. Her parents were divorcing, and she wrote this to explain her feelings.
She writes on Instagram, “oh man oh man I cannot believe this song is out in the world. I feel naked!!!
about a year ago I went on a...
[Verse 1]
I apologize, my emotions are hidin’
Hard to explain when you feel your world's on fire
Close my eyes to all the things that hurt my nature
I apologize, but I am
Apologize, but I am
Apologize, but I am
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tired of holdin' my head up
I'm tired of tryin' to hold onto you
This cycle, fighting and making up
I'm tired of tryin' to hold on
[Chorus]
Everything is fallin' apart, slippin' away
There's no rewindin' the things we say
Everything is fallin' apart, slippin' away
No way to fight it
[Post-Chorus]
I'll break, breakaway
Break, breakaway
I'll break, breakaway
Break, breakaway
I'll break
[Verse 2]
The ground and the ceilin' seem to be disappearing
Nothin' to stand on, oh God, I hate this feelin'
You put the weight of your world down on my shoulders
Why'd you have to make me older?
Make me older, make me older
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tired of holdin' my head up
I'm tired of tryin' to hold onto you
This cycle, fighting and making up
I'm tired of tryin' to hold on
[Chorus]
Everything is fallin' apart, slippin' away
There's no rewindin' the things we say
Everything is fallin' apart, slippin' away
No way to fight it
[Post-Chorus]
I'll break, breakaway
Break, breakaway
I'll break, breakaway
Break, breakaway
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Everything is fallin' apart, slippin' away
There's no rewindin' the things we say
Everything is fallin' apart, slippin' away
No way to fight it
[Post-Chorus]
I'll break, breakaway
Break, breakaway
I'll break, breakaway
Break, breakaway
