Lyrics & Translation

[English]

(Break it to me)

...

Don't dress it up but don't beat around the bush

And don't cover it up but don't push it underground

And don't keep it inside and don't edit and redact

And no dumbing it down and don't fake it, just

(Break it to me)

...

(Break it to me)

...

(Break it to me)

And I can handle the truth

I can cope with whatever you're holding back

No need to sugar coat, just

(Break it to me)

...

(Break it to me)

...

(Just break it to me)

I know how to mend

I can rise high above the ashes

I'll re-invent

I will re-emerge

Reborn

(Break it to me)

...

(Break it to me)

Don't dress it up but don't beat around the bush

And don't cover it up but don't push it underground

And don't keep it inside and don't edit and redact

And no dumbing it down and don't fake it, just

(Break it to me)

...

(Just break it to me)

I know how to mend

I can rise high above the ashes

I'll re-invent

I will re-emerge

Reborn

(Break it to me)

...

(Break it to me)

...

(Break it to me)

...

(Break it to me)

...

(Break it to me)

...

(Break it to me)

...
