[Verse 1]
In a way, I need a change from this burnout scene
Another time, another town, another everything
But it's always back to you, yeah
Stumbled out, in the night from the pouring rain
Made the block, sat and thought, there's more I need
It's always back to you
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm good without ya
Yeah, I'm good without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
How many times can I break 'til I shatter?
Over the line, can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
Give me a break, let me make my own pattern
All that it takes is some time, but I'm shattered
I always turn the car around
[Verse 2]
I had no idea that the night
Would take so damn long
Took it out, on the street
While the rain still falls
Push me back to you
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm good without ya
Yeah, I'm good without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
How many times can I break 'til I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
Give me a break, let me make my own pattern
All that it takes is some time, but I'm shattered
I always turn the car around
[Pre-Chorus]
Give it up, give it up, baby
Give it up, give it up, now
Now
[Bridge]
How many times can I break 'til I shatter?
Over the line, can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
All that I feel is the realness I'm faking
Taking my time, but it's time that I'm wasting
Always turn the car around
[Chorus]
How many times can I break 'til I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
[Outro]
Don't wanna turn that car around
I gotta turn this thing around
