[Verse 1] I wear a grin like paint It cracks, but it still stays I dance with my own ache Then laugh it right away My shoes tap little lies My heart drips on the floor I wave like, "I’m all right" Then ask for one more [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I keep the party neat While the storm lives in my teeth Oh, I spin in pretty circles With a bruise nobody sees [Chorus] Till I break, till I break I’ll be shining through the ache Till I break, till I break I’ll keep smiling for the sake Of the end of time Or the end of me Till I break, till I break That’s my sweet tragedy [Verse 2] I fold my sorrows small In a bright paper bag I hum through every fall Like it’s all just a gag The clock keeps chewing days I feed it candy lines I kiss the pain goodbye And call it a grand design [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I keep the party neat While the storm lives in my teeth Oh, I spin in pretty circles With a bruise nobody sees [Chorus] Till I break, till I break I’ll be shining through the ache Till I break, till I break I’ll keep smiling for the sake Of the end of time Or the end of me Till I break, till I break That’s my sweet tragedy [Bridge] If I fall, let me fall With confetti in my hair If I go, let me go Like I never had a care One last laugh One last bow I’m so good at this somehow (oh-oh) I’m still here I’m still sweet With the wreckage at my feet [Final Chorus] Till I break, till I break I’ll be shining through the ache Till I break, till I break I’ll keep smiling for the sake Of the end of time Or the end of me Till I break, till I break That’s my sweet tragedy Till I break, till I break I’m the punchline and the saint Till I break, till I break Cheerful woe in full campaign Till I break, till I break Till I break, till I break That’s my sweet tragedy
