[Verse 1]

Every bully that had maimed you, bled you dry

And the blinkered say that boys will be boys

And they're just kids being sly

And they wonder why some die

[Verse 2]

Every image of perfection starts a goldmine

They gave you bulimia, those marketing masterminds

Happens all the time, all the time

[Chorus]

And it breaks you up

Over time

And it breaks you up

Over time

[Verse 3]

Every moment in this dark world, I'm terrified

Reaching for a light in a gauntlet of toxic paradigms

Sometimеs I wanna die, sometimes

[Verse 4]

Evеry headline, they betray you and the little guy

But what would you expect from oligarchs and paedophiles?

Makes you wonder why you even try

[Chorus]

And it breaks you up

Over time

And it breaks you up

Over time

And it breaks you up

Breaks you up, breaks you up

[Bridge]

No one should feel like this

No one should feel like this

No one should feel like this

[Chorus]

And it breaks you up

Breaks you up, breaks you up

And it breaks you up

Over time

And it breaks you up

Over time
