Breaking Every Night

VERSE 1

Time away from you hasn’t been that long
But to me it feels like eternity
Somehow I’ve healed, but it’s still hurting me

PRE-CHORUS

Sometimes I wonder who we’d be
If I’d done a little better, tried a little harder
Now I’m blaming myself
Wishing I’d done it differently

VERSE 2

And mama, it hurts, I was just letting my guard down
Just when I was gonna get to know you
Just when I was getting attached
You cut it off at the drop of a hat — just like that

PRE-CHORUS 2

You listed all your reasons
But none of them add up to me
I smelled bullshit from the very beginning
Still I’m here trying to heal

CHORUS

Now I’m trying to heal and get over this
But the damage this connection left
Is all but unbearable, baby
It’s all but intolerable, darling

VERSE 3 / REFLECTION

I’ve spent so many nights inside my head
Wondering who we could’ve been
If I’d done a little better
If I’d tried a little harder
Now I’m blaming myself again

SECOND CHORUS (ESCALATION)

I keep trying to heal and get over this
But the damage this connection left
Is all but unbearable, baby
It’s all but intolerable, darling
I tell myself I’ll be alright
But I’m breaking a little every night

OUTRO

Time away from you hasn’t been that long
But it still feels like eternity
And mama, it hurts
I was just starting to get to know you
Just about to show you what I’m capable of

Fast post-punk heartbreak with tight drums, sharp guitars, dark mood, deep raspy baritone vocals, restrained aggression
