Vanessa Carlton
Break to Save
[Verse 1:]
Looking for grace and beauty
My heart has turned to stone
I have the power to leave this
To love my home and still outgrow
I am free to redefine me
Nothing more terrifying
I’m about to say something
That will lose you…
That will cut our ties…
[Chorus:]
I was only dreaming…
Of a future fantasy
I would be the savior
Not the breaker of the family
[Verse 2:]
Do you know who your enemy is?
Could it be the one you love?
What I love starts to become me
DNA map in my blood
[Chorus:]
I was only dreaming…
Of a future fantasy
I would be the savior
Not the breaker of the family
I didn’t see it coming
Thought I could bring you with me
I will need to break to save
The truth that’s left in me (Inside of me)
[Bridge:]
Hind sight is twenty twenty
When you’re in it, it’s hard to tell
Living with the sinking feeling…
Working against myself
Hind sight is twenty twenty
When you’re in it, it’s hard to tell
Living with the sinking feeling…
Working against myself
[Chorus:]
I was only dreaming…
Of a future fantasy
Where I would be the savior
Not the breaker of the family
I didn’t see it coming
But I would do it all the same
I can fall to pieces
When I’m on the way to change, break to save…
[Outro:]
Looking for grace, for beauty
Walk into the unknown
I leave to redefine me
But I love you and I let you go
