David Myles - Need a Break lyrics

You need a break from the noise in the middle of the night You need a break from the boys who just seem to want to fight You need a break from being lonely, a break from playing games You need a break from shaking hands, faking interest in their names I believe you when you tell me your time is running out I can see it in your eyes, I can tell that there's no doubt You need a break, you need a break You need a break from paying bills, a break from paying rent You put all your money on your loans and you can't make a dent You need a break from early mornings, a break from your alarm A break from your boss wouldn't do you any harm Your temper's getting shorter and your mood is getting bad If you had a bottled genie, it'd be the only wish you'd have You need a break, you need a break Don't need new clothes, don't need a new car Don't need someone telling you how lucky you are You don't want to rent a movie or go for a run If you had a list of things to do you'd only choose one You need a break, you need a break You don't need a doctor, don't want to take pills You don't need their diagnosis cause you know it so well They'll say take your time and ask yourself why Well you already have and you told yourself I just need a break, just need a break You need a break from the ha**le, a break from the hype You need a break from going in and out of fashion overnight You need a break from keeping up, a break from feeling down You need a break from all the traffic on your way across town You need a break from people telling you what's right and what's wrong No one seems to want to listen to what you've known all along You need a break, you need a break You've tried to learn to paint, you've tried to learn to sing You've tried to meditate, you've tried everything You read Walt Whitman and the Tao Te Ching And you're still missing something, still missing one thing You need a break, you need a break You don't need a doctor, don't want to take pills You don't need their diagnosis cause you know it so well They'll say take your time and ask yourself why Well you already have and you told yourself I… Just need a break, just need a break, just need a break
