I've been running fast
Coming second to last in a one-on-one race
You know it's hard
When you're growing apart, both scared of the pain
And to go on
It's easier just to take the fall
It's a clean break
We ain't got what it takes, to keep it going our way
It's a clean break
You both get what you gave at the end of the day
You get through the night
Wake up to the sunlight beating your face
You stepped in the ring
Had a round with the feelings you couldn't contain
And you go on
It's easier just to take the fall
It's a clean break
We ain't got what it takes, to keep it going our way
It's a clean break
You both get what you gave at the end of the day
And a week rolls by
You look back on the years as you're drying your eyes
A soul unchained
The lesson's hard but the knowledge remains
And to go on
It's easier just to take the fall
It's a clean break
We ain't got what it takes, to keep it going our way
It's a clean break
You both get what you gave at the end of the day
