[Verse 1]
I need a break from you
You hurt my soul
I been holdin' this hurt
Way too long
You left a bruise in my chest
That don't fade
I keep reachin' for peace
It slips away
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't think I can
I don't think I can
Everything forgive you
Not tonight
My hands stay open
But my heart says stay
I tried to be soft
Now I need space
[Chorus]
I need a break from you
(Break from you)
I need a break from you
(Break from you)
You hurt my soul so deep
And it won't let go
I need a break from you
Let me go slow
[Verse 2]
Your name on my tongue
Tastes like rain
Every sweet little promise
Turned to pain
I watched love go quiet
In this house
Now the old front door
Keeps me out
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't think I can
I don't think I can
Everything forgive you
Not today
The same old tears
Won't wash this clean
I need some daylight
Between you and me
[Chorus]
I need a break from you
(Break from you)
I need a break from you
(Break from you)
You hurt my soul so deep
And it won't let go
I need a break from you
Let me go slow
[Bridge]
If I come back
I come back whole
Not half a heart
And a broken soul
So take your shadow
Off my skin
I'm learnin' how to breathe
Again
[Final Chorus]
I need a break from you
(Break from you)
I need a break from you
(Break from you)
You hurt my soul so deep
But I'm holdin' on
I need a break from you
'Til I'm strong
