(Take and you) Take away from me Here when there's a need Giving and giving Heard hard work's its own reward But it's Exhausting Do I need to ask This pace is too fast For more than pity's sake Passion's turned into a chore Just give me a break Never learned to bend Ending up broken Give up Washed up Just can't catch up Stringing me along Better off alone Burnt out Knocked out Want a Dire Break (Break and) Brake to a stop I'm calling it off For all my loyalty Again you come down hard on me But it's not my responsibility If I'm being strong Or playing the victim Already proved to you I wanted to be more of use But feel I've been used Never learned to bend Ending up broken Give up Washed up Just can't catch up Stringing me along Better off alone Burnt out Knocked out Want a Dire Break ... I can't wait to see You try to replace me Won't make the same mistake I'd sooner take the heartache There's no need For your self-flattery I'm not left reeling in your wake I'd rather Die or Break
