Lyrics

Look where you found me, falling over 
Finally figured it out 
Finally found out
It wasn't what I needed

Don’t know if I’ll be back again 
Never know, you never know when
To break or bend 
But I won’t bend this time, so I break 

Your bond on me
And I take back my energy
So I break your bond on me
And I take back my energy

Ooh oh, ooh oh

It’s a tough life to turn around
Take a look at it now  
I finally found out 
I was only dreaming 

Don’t try to pull me back again 
Cuz now I know, now I know when 
To break or bend 
But I won’t bend this time, so I break  

Your bond on me
And I take back my energy
So I break your bond on me
And I take back my energy

Ooh oh, ooh oh

I’m won't bend, I’m open
I won’t bend this time
Oh no no no no no no
Broken wide open 
I won’t bend this time
Time, so I break 

Your bond on me (can't take it no more)
And I take back my energy (no, no more)
So I break your bond on me (woo, yeah)
And I take back my energy (can't take it no more)

So I break your bond (I break that bond)
On me, on me, on me
I break your bond on me, on me
It isn't what I need, it's not what I need, no

(Breakin’ that bond)

Break, break
Don't know if I'll be back again
Now I know, now I know when
Don't know if I'll be back again
Cuz now I know, now I know when

Don't know if I'll be back again
Cuz now I know, now I know when
Don't know if I'll be back again
Cuz now I know, now I know when
Yeah, because now I know when

Directly written about my mother when I had finally realized something was terribly wrong with our relationship.
