Bach/Break Lyrics

I break, I borrow, I live, I lose
I pray, I'm hollowed, I'm dead, confused
I'll find you

What is love and what's it for?
I'm stuck outside an open door,
And no one's come to get me yet.
I never got a second bet

I'm welcomed to your fantasy
If only she was make-believe
Oh, what is love and what’s it for?
Take me back and do me more
Take me back and do me more

I break, I borrow, I live, I lose
I pray, I’m hollowed, I’m dead, confused
I’ll find you

Once you’re here you’re never gone.
Once you’re here you’re never gone.
I fall from in out the cold
A piece of me that I can’t hold

I love you as I lose you more
I break outside this open door
Catch me as I wash away
Catch me as I wash away
Catch me as I wash away

I break, I borrow, I live, I lose,
I pray, I’m hollowed, I’m dead, confused
I break, I borrow, I live, I lose,
I pray, I’m hollowed, I’m dead, confused
I’ll find you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is amazing, and my favorite off the August Rush soundtrack. I think it's about losing someone, but trying to find yourself in the process of finding them.
