Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Break it to me)
(Break it to me)
(Break it to me)
[Verse 2]
Don't dress it up, but don't beat around the bush, and don't
Cover it up, but don't push it underground, and don't
Keep it inside and don't ever, never touch it
No dumbing it down, and don't fake it, just
[Verse 3]
(Break it to me)
(Break it to me)
(Break it to me)
[Verse 4]
Don't dress it up, but don't beat around the bush, and don't
(I can handle the truth, I can cope with whatever you're holding back)
Cover it up, but don't push it underground, and don't
Keep it inside and don't ever, never touch it
No dumbing it down and don't fake it, just
(No need to sugar coat, just)
[Verse 5]
(Break it to me)
(Break it to me)
(Break it to me)
[Verse 6]
I know how to mend, I can rise high above the ashes
I'll re-invent, I will re-emerge, reborn
[Verse 7]
(Break it to me)
(Break it to me)
[Verse 8]
Don't dress it up, but don't beat around the bush, and don't
Cover it up, but don't push it underground, and don't
Keep it inside and don't ever, never touch it
No dumbing it down and don't fake it, just
[Verse 9]
(Break it to me)
(Just break it to me)
[Verse 10]
I know how to mend, I can rise high above the ashes
I'll re-invent, I will re-emerge, reborn
[Verse 11]
(Break it to me)
(Break it to me)
(Break it to me)
[Verse 12]
(Break it to me)
(Break it to me)
(Break it to me)
