lyrics

something breaks

something breaks my heart jus' a little bit every day

lil boy gettin yelled at
bully makin' points
latino dude on a stoop
he smilin' but his face is outa joint
best friends breakin' up
get jealous on a girl
a late night phone call
a circle of blame
no refuge in this world

something breaks my heart jus' a little bit every day

a girl w/ the blues
her pills no longer cut it
old man shakin' in a grocery line
had t steal his dinner, he said he lost his wallet
lonesome lady in window
on a bus jes' goin' by
she looks right through you darkly
it's enuf t make ya cry

my soul can feel you
even if, even if i don't say a word
yr darkness i can see standing in the Light
be brave
yr down is goin up
yr heart can win this fight

solo

a kid w/ bad skin
hides behind his daddy
who had a fight this mornin' at breakfast with his mom
oh he look so tragic
my best friend lost her father
cancer again ya see
i don't know what t tell her
no one of us can set another one free

something breaks my heart jus' a little bit every day
