Break the World Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You'd never know this was an empty smile
But then my days have felt like this for quite a while

But no one seems to see it
It's like the whole world just keeps passing me by
By and by


[Pre-Chorus]
I find every night, I lie awake, I face my darkest fear and
All these lies that are whispering won't go away

[Chorus]
Break the world I know
I fear I'll never see the light of day
I need you here and now
Take the pain I hold
It's crying out to be the end of me
But I can't hear the sound


[Verse 2]
A thousand days fell here in black and white
Longing, looking, hoping for the morning light
I know it's got to be there
I'm just waiting for the glorious sign
By and by
[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
These voices choke away the light
And they infect me with their lies
They try to take away my life
They give their one way out
But I found the Christ, the light in the sky
You've washed them away and now you've given me life
You've shown me the reason
The story in the night
So undeserving now I don't have to hide

[Chorus]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
