Clean Break Lyrics

I've been running fast

Coming second to last in a one-on-one race

You know it's hard

When you're growing apart, both scared of the pain

And to go on

It's easier just to take the fall

It's a clean break

We ain't got what it takes, to keep it going our way

It's a clean break

You both get what you gave at the end of the day

You get through the night

Wake up to the sunlight beating your face

You stepped in the ring

Had a round with the feelings you couldn't contain

And you go on

It's easier just to take the fall

It's a clean break

We ain't got what it takes, to keep it going our way

It's a clean break

You both get what you gave at the end of the day

And a week rolls by

You look back on the years as you're drying your eyes

A soul unchained

The lesson's hard but the knowledge remains

And to go on

It's easier just to take the fall

It's a clean break

We ain't got what it takes, to keep it going our way

It's a clean break

You both get what you gave at the end of the day
