You’ve been fighting this war long as you can remember
Been trying to make peace but you’re enemies won’t
You’r thinking one small step and the pain will be over
But will the fall hurt more than the holding on

You’ve been carrying this weight on your beat up shoulders
And hauled it around like a grinding rock
You know, the only thing that hurts more than being this broken
Is everyday trying to pretend that you’re not

But you gotta
Break if you gotta break
Hurt if you need the hurt
Cry if you wanna cry
Just get it out of your body, out of your body

Say what you wanna say
Fight until it goes away
Shout if you need to shout
Get it out of your body, get it out of your body now

You wait for a smile from the face in the mirror
Just a little life in those empty eyes
But all you can see is all too familiar
The shadow of black wings against the sky

But you gotta
Break if you gotta break
Hurt if you need the hurt
Cry if you wanna cry
Just get it out of your body, out of your body

Say what you wanna say
Fight until it goes away
Shout if you need to shout
Get it out of your body, get it out of your body now

It's coming in harder
Now you're taking on water
It's a raging flood tonight
But something's gotta give
If you're ever gonna live
Without this weight on your mind
So go on and break if you gotta break
Break if you gotta break
