Emo acoustic This Wild Life have just released their brand new single called “Break Me”.
We wrote the song ‘Break Me’ during the Low Tides sessions and although it didn’t feel like it fit perfectly into the album itself, we knew it was a track that we would have to release.
Lyrically this song touches on my tendency to be a serial monogamist even when I’m not emotionally happy in a relationship. I’ve been outright shitty to people in an attempt to make them cut me off, because I know I can’t possibly do it myself. When I find myself in this cycle, I do more harm to myself and my loved ones through continuing a physical relationship when the emotional connection has long but faded.
We’re looking forward to playing this song on our upcoming Summer Tour, hope you all come sing along.
– Kevin

Song lyrics: This Wild Life – Break Me
We all lie just to get by
It feels fine for a little while
I can’t keep it up for long
Cause I’m spinning a web and I’m stuck and it’s fucked
But I know this will hurt
Cause when I’m hurt, I treat you worseI miss your skin, I miss your touch
I never thought it’d hurt this much
I hate this feeling in my gut
I wish you would quit me, I wish you would just leave
Cause I can never walk away
And so it’s up to you to break meAnd I’ll try to say goodbye
I’ll be fast to save you time
I can’t help but stay the night
You’re alarmed and you’re hurt and I just make it worse
When I run through your veins
Cause when I’m hurt, I treat you worseI miss your skin, I miss your touch
I never thought it’d hurt this much
I hate this feeling in my gut
I wish you would quit me, I wish you would just leave
Cause I can never walk away
And so it’s up to you to break meYou can have my body, just not my soul
Can’t give what’s not mine anymore
Have my body, just not my soul
You can have my body, I’ve lost control
Can’t live on my own anymore
Have my body, just not my soul
Have my body, but not my soul
Have my body, but not my soulI miss your skin, I miss your touch
I never thought it’d hurt this much
I hate this feeling in my gut
I wish you would quit me, I wish you would just leave
Cause I can never walk away
And so it’s up to you to break me
