Try to find a way to fight the pain
But it seems there's no way around it
Reaching for the sun but finding rain
I know I'll always be grounded
So much I have brought upon myself
Can't believe that I'm still here
Looking for a place you know so well
You see it never existed
I will break you, I will break you
I will break you, I WILL BREAK YOU
BREAK, YOU, BREAK...
All this time I really thought you knew
The game was not meant for winning
Explanation for the things I do
No - but I'm constantly greedy
I will break you, I will break you
I will break you, I WILL BREAK YOU
I will break you...
Could you ever recognize this pain?
You see it's so far from over
After this you'll never be the same
You know I'm choking on knowledge(?)
I will break you, I will break you
I will break you, I WILL BREAK YOU
(Ã 3)Well I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Prob'ly die in a small town
Oh, those small communities
All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity
Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic that's me
But I've seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an L.A. doll and brought her to this small town
Now she's small town just like me
No I cannot forget where it is that I come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what I want to be
Got nothing against a big town
Still ain't seen enough to say
Look who's in the big town
But my bed is in a small town
Oh, and that's good enough for me
Well I was born in a small town
And I can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And that's prob'ly where they'll bury me
