LESS THAN JAKE - She's Gonna Break Soon
[Chorus:]
Shes gonna break soon
Gonna break soon
Gonna break soon
Shes gonna break soon
Gonna break soon
Gonna break soon
With so many problems in her life it really comes as no surprise
Shes gonna break soon
Gonna break soon
Shes gonna break
Welcome to her busy dizzy life
Of going out and getting high
And following all the latest trends
While shedding all her oldest friends
Its been weeks worth of we
when fake I.D.s and fake passions are her best friends.
[Chorus]
Shes been thinkin wishin she could hide
From the girls with the comments passing by
Its the boys in bars on Friday night
That replace the emptiness inside
Shell be spending her whole weekend
Faking laughs and faking smiles with her fake friends
[Chorus]
Promises you made back home
Are crumpled like the goodbye notes
And last nights dirty clothes
Were on the floor next to the phone
And its been disconnected months ago
No calls from your friends back home
You lost your point of view and now
Its got the best of got the best of got the best of you
[Chorus]
