Break It Off

After another weekend of aunt agony
I'm out in disguise
Feigning sparkle and shameless self-certainty
I knit the wool for my eyes

Long nights I've laid awake
Penning stories and songs for the sake
One day you'll come apart
With a full change of heart

Break it off, break it off
Oh our sunset won't dawn
Pull the pin and be gone
Break it off, break it off
I know I'll never have the heart to leave you

If I'd known, If I'd known, if I'd known

Do me a favour and hide all the sweets away
I've got no control
Haven't you heard there's no time to go roots 'n' all
I'll renew, be reborn

Don't say another word
Or I'll swear to myself that I've heard
One day you'll come apart
With a full change of heart

Break it off, break it off
Oh our sunset won't dawn
Pull the pin and be gone
Break it off, break it off
I know I'll never have the heart to leave you

If I'd known, If I'd known, if I'd known

And when I face the facts
We're a bit of a mess
Not the pick of the best
And you're not a patch on Benedict Cumberbatch

Break it off, break it off, break it off
If I'd known, If I'd known, if I'd known
