The Bit That Breaks

Lyrics

You said it doesn’t matter But your voice gives it away As you pander to the pressure Of another sodden day We gloss over the damage And assure it’s “just another phase” But every time we patch it up The fault line still remains The bit that breaks I never thought that I would be The bit that breaks The tension in the wire Pulling tighter every day The thread that snaps The fault that cracks A doubt that wouldn’t go away And now it seems The bit that breaks was never you It was me It’s hard to get a laugh from you Coz slapstick ain’t my thing You roll your eyes at me again Your silence has a ring You’re acting so dramatic I guess I knew it all along Perhaps it really is my fault I best admit it in a song Oh, to be the bit that breaks The tension in the wire Pulling tighter every day The hinge that creaks The pipe that leaks Wrong no matter what I say And now it seems The bit that breaks was never you It was me
