Break it right back
Mid-tempo indie folk track featuring a prominent acoustic guitar fingerpicking pattern in G major at 95 BPM. The arrangement is built around a warm, resonant acoustic guitar that plays a repetitive, melodic arpeggio throughout. A subtle, rhythmic percussion section consisting of soft shakers and a light kick drum provides a steady foundation. The bass is melodic and rounded, following the chord progression of G - C - D - G. A clean electric guitar with light reverb enters during the bridge, adding atmospheric textures. The overall production is clean and intimate, with a focus on the natural timbre of the acoustic instruments and a spacious, airy mix.

Lyrics
You were dressed to the nines, those perfect blue eyes
I looked around no red flag in sight
Your daddy liked me, said that was a first
I meant it when I said I’d be the one you deserve
Ohh-oh-ohh, yeah I thought it was true
Ohh-oh-ohh, I didn’t plan on hurting you
I wasn’t supposed to be just like the rest
i swore that i loved you to death
Now we’re in your driveway, say I’m your ex
now i’m too much, and you need something less
Ohh-oh-ohh, why does it end this way every time?
What’s wrong with me, am i that bad,
Promise I didn’t take your broken heart just to fix it
Just to turn around, turn around
And break it right back, break it right back
I knew your past, I begged you to try
Said loving me would be different this time
But words sound easy when you swear you’re right
And I’m just a guy who didn’t know you where right
I wasn’t supposed to be just like the rest
i swore that i loved you to death
Now we’re in your driveway, say I’m your ex
now i’m too much, and you need something less
Ohh-oh-ohh, why does it end this way every time?
What’s wrong with me, am i that bad,
Promise I didn’t take your broken heart just to fix it
Just to turn around, turn around
And break it right back, break it right back
So I’ll hide behind big words and my busy job
Tell my friends I’m right, say you wanted too much
Say I tried my best but I couldn’t give enough
That I can’t settle down with a girl who lives on a tour bus
I wasn’t supposed to be just like the rest
But I broke my promise, yeah I failed that test
Left you in the driveway calling me your ex
Saying im way too much, that you needed something less
Ohh-oh-ohh, and I hate that it hurts you like that
If I’m being honest, yeah the truth is sad
I took your broken heart, said I’d protect it
Just to turn around, turn around
And break it right back
