I rehearsed the conversation until nobody could lose Had a very careful sentence that said nothing of the truth Then you asked me how I felt and the neat part came apart I was looking for an exit you were listening to my heart It's better when it breaks than when I hold it all together Oooooo, better when it breaks and I finally let you in I don't mean the things we damage I mean the face I keep in place There's a little more between us when I let the cover break You don't need the polished version with the reasons all lined up You can tell when I am hiding in a very clever shrug I can say I felt forgotten without saying you're to blame You can say you didn't notice and we start from there again It's better when it breaks than when I hold it all together Oooooo, better when it breaks and I finally let you in I don't mean the things we damage I don't mean the things we damage I mean the face I keep in place There's a little more between us when I let the cover break I don't need you to repair me I can do a little work I just want to be here honestly instead of being hard to hurt It's better when it breaks when the careful mask gives way Ohhhh, better when it breaks now I have something real to say There's a little more between us and a little less to fake It's better when it breaks when I let the cover break
