Be the first to break
For someone else's sake
When someone else's heart
Is breaking in two
Be the first to hear
Someone's silent tear
Be the last to say
I'm giving up on you
Be the turning tide
In someone's darkest night
Be the sun's first light
Of a morning yet to come
Be the tiny spark
In someone's lonely dark
A flicker of hope for a heart
Waiting for the sun
Be the first to break
For someone else's sake
When someone else's heart
Is breaking in two
Be the first to hear
Someone's silent tear
Be the last to say
I'm giving up on you
Be the nick of time
The last chance danger sign
The exit that we find
When life speeds away
Be the get away path
For someone who is lost and trapped
In the lies and the glitter flash
That blinds our way
Be the first to break
For someone else's sake
When someone else's heart
Is breaking in two
Be the first to hear
Someone's silent tear
Be the last to say
I'm giving up on you
