Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fine place for a day full of breakdowns
Takes more than a meltdown to show us how
Throw a tack on the road, stop the meatplow
Got a bullet but it ain't mine
[PreChorus]
They got these pictures of everything
To break us down, yeah, to break me down
They make us hate, and we make it bleed
[Chorus]
But I got a lover and
Yeah, she shows me how
To understand it, yeah, to understand
I got a brother and
Well, he show me how
To make amends, yeah, to make amends with it
[Verse 2]
Take a break from the mousetrap we call home
Takes more than a message to make me smile
I can feel when she kisses me sleeping
But not when the news is on
[PreChorus]
They got these pictures of everything
To break us down, yeah, to break me down
They make us hate, and we make it bleed
[Chorus]
But I got a lover and
Yeah, she shows me how
To understand it, yeah, to understand
I got a brother and
Well, he show me how
To make amends, yeah, to make amends with it
[PreChorus]
They got these pictures of everything
To break us down, yeah, to break us down
They make us hate, and we make it bleed
[Chorus]
But I got a lover and
Yeah, she shows me how
To understand it, yeah, to understand
I got a brother and
Yeah, he show me how
To make amends, yeah, to make amends with it
