They called me "bastard"
And they spit in my eye
They took me for what I was worth
And said, "Son, you ain't worth a dime"

They never got the best of me
But it wasn't for lack of trying
I'm just waiting for the day, now
Where I ain't just passing time

But that's the way it breaks
You spend your whole life working hard
For someone else's sake
And I can't tell you how to fix it
Don't know what the hell it takes
But I know, I know that's the way it breaks

Now, I'm looking for the answers
To the questions in my head
Wondering about the meanings
To the words that you said

And wondering if I'm going mad
Or if I'm just upset
I don't have much to gamble
But my last I would bet
That all my favorite memories
Are just the things I can't forget

But that's the way it breaks
You spend your whole life working hard
For someone else's sake
And I can't tell you how to fix it
Don't know what the hell it takes
But I know, I know that's the way it breaks

And it breaks...

So, call me in the morning
If that's when you get back home
Another night out drinking
Another night out getting stoned

A voice deep down inside you says
"You are all alone"
That's a lie that takes you down, son
The lower that you go

But that's the way it breaks
You spend your whole life working hard
For someone else's sake
And I can't tell you how to fix it
Don't know what the hell it takes
But I know, I know that's the way it breaks
(x2)

And it breaks...
