Robert Daniel Johnson - Break Us Up Lyrics

Never more than when you swore to me
You'd heal the world for me
Did I believe in something

Stopped caring what my friends would say
They don't have any faith,
They don't see you the way that I do

So why would you break us
Why would you break us
Why would you break us up?
(Why would you break us down)
Why would you break us
Why would you break us
Why would you break us up?
(Why would you break us down)

I planted flowers in my skin for you
Wore this gorilla suit
I had such rare devotion

Wrote a part for you in all my scenes
Wrote you piano themes
I had such sacrificial notions

So why would you break us
Why would you break us
Why would you break us up?
(Why would you break us down)
Why would you break us
Why would you break us
Why would you break us up?
(Why would you break us down)

In the middle of a breakup
There's no learning from a breakup
There's no seeing what it all could mean,
How better off you'll be
There's only breakdown
