Break The Man Lyrics by Tears for Fears

The Tipping Point

2022

[Verse 1]
This was never what I thought it was
This is not who we are
This is where someone was meant to say
Enough is enough
This is nothing like they said it would be
This has all gone too far
When everything is running out
This is love

[Chorus]
She's the fire and the fallout
She reminds you of the things we never talk about
She's the lover with the best-laid plan
To break the man
She's a sinner in a sideshow
She feels at home when there's nowhere left to go
She's the devil you understand
Break the man

[Verse 2]
No more tearing the bandages off
No more living a lie
No more chewing the scenery
No more rain, no more rain
No more wondering, "What happens now?"
No more holding your feet to the fire
When everything is running down
No more pain

[Chorus]
She's the fire and the fallout
She reminds you of the things we never talk about
She's the lover with the best-laid plan
To break the man
She's the trouble in the headline
She's the mother who turns back Father Time
She's the devil you understand
Break the man

[Bridge]
No more wondering, "What happens now?"
No more holding your feet to the fire
When everything is running down
This is love

[Chorus]
She's the fire and the fallout
She reminds you of the things we never talk about
She's the lover with the best-laid plan
To break the man
She's the trouble in the headline
She's the mother who turns back Father Time
She's the devil you understand
Break the man
