She put up with it For as long as she could take it. longer Then she ever thought she would. The constant putting down Or leaving out Or listening to her lover shout She never thought she’d be treated this way. And then the days became weeks And then The weeks became months But before the year ran out. She stopped and wondered why Every night Ended with a cry And said these words out loud To anyone who’d hear… [chorus] “I’m gonna take it till I break it Break this cycle of abuse… Fake it till I make it And then just Take it till I break it Before it breaks me down I’m getting up off of the ground I’m gonna take it till I can’t take it no more… And I’ll break it. [Solo] [vocal only] “I have had enough. It’s gonna on long enough. And I refuse to let this Be the life I live.” [full band] She’s stronger now She’s seen the light There won’t be no more sleepless nights Afraid of what tomorrow might reveal. She’s taken all that she can take and Now she’s sees the big mistake And she’s breaking down And standing strong through it. “I’ll take it till i break it With my bare hands if i must But I can tell you I can’t take it Anymore. No more time for thin excuses Tolerance for the abuses I’ve taken just enough of this bullshit. Before I crack I’ll take it till I break it. Before I’m through I’ll be the one to break it. And I won’t be taking any more From you. [chorus] “I’m gonna take it till I break it Break this cycle of abuse… Fake it till I make it And then just Take it till I break it Before it breaks me down I’m getting up off of the ground I’m gonna take it till I can’t take it no more… And I’ll break it.
