'Break Up' is not a song drawn from personal experience, rather a story based on things i've been told by people around me. It revolves around the break up of a relationship because it's become stale and boring and how one person has 'woken up' to this fact and realised it's time to move on...

'Break Up'

(phone voice)

You know we saw each other only yesterday
I saw you standing there waiting
I wanted to get up and run away
I don't feel like I used to feel yesterday...

(silence)

(kick in)

I'll wake up
Then break up
Don't feel how I used to
I'll wake up
Then break up
Don't feel how I used to
Don't feel how I used to
about you

(quiet filler)

(phone voice)

Yes, I saw you only yesterday
Standing on a street corner
Glancing this way and that a way
I wanted to say good bye to this day
I don't feel like I used to feel yesterday...

(silence)

(kick in)

I'll wake up
Then break up
Don't feel how I used to
I'll wake up
Then break up
Don't feel how I used to
Don't feel how I used to
about you

(quiet filler)

Since i've been with you
My life has taken a downturn
I can't do what I used to do
My heart doesn't yearn for you
Like it used to anymore

There's only one thing to do
Years ago I should've learned
I have to break up from you
The only thing I need to do
Is get away from a stupid whore
Like you

(build up)

(silence)

(kick in)

I'll wake up
Then break up
Don't feel how I used to
I'll wake up
Then break up
Don't feel how I used to
Don't feel how I used to
about you

(quiet filler)

You say it's been hard on you
It's been hard on me
Too

You say you wished you could do
All the things you wanted to
You wish you could have seen
All the things you wanted to see

Why don't you
Take a step back

Why don't you
Think of me

(build up)

(silence)

(kick in)

I'll wake up
Then break up
Don't feel how I used to
I'll wake up
Then break up
Don't feel how I used to
Don't feel how I used to
about you

(quiet filler)

I'll wake up
See you there
Then break up
Get you out of my hair

Don't feel how I used to
about you
I'll wake up
Then break up
And make sure you know
How much I...

(build up)

Don't feel how I used to
Don't feel how I used to
about you

I'll wake up
See you there
Then break up
Get you out of my hair

Don't feel how I used to
about you
I'll wake up
Then break up
And make sure you know
How much I...

(build up)

Don't feel how I used to
Don't feel how I used to
about you

(build down)

No, not any more...
Not after the break up
Not after the wake up call
Anymore...

(end)
