I broke most of momma's dishes:
She banned from the kitchen when i was a kid.
An' i tore daddy's truck to pieces,
Left it in a heap that no mechanic could fix it.
You don't believe me: i can see you laughin',
But, trust me, i'm an accident here waitin' here to happen.

'cause i break things: anything i touch,
I just get around an' then i'm bound to tear 'em up.
Yeah, i make things snap an' fall apart.
So if you wanna hold me, boy, you better watch your heart,
Because i break things.

You say i'm nothin' you can't handle:
You're tougher than an anvil: well, baby, we'll see.
An' i'm like a wreckin' ball comin':
You're better off runnin' far away from me.
Don't get me wrong, now, baby, i adore you:
It's only right that i give you fair warning:

'cause i break things: anything i touch,
I just get around an' then i'm bound to tear 'em up.
Yeah, i make things snap an' fall apart.
So if you wanna hold me, boy, you better watch your heart,
Because i break things.

Rain is wet, the desert is dry:
That's the way it'll always be.
An' fire is hot, it's dark at night:
The sun comes up in the east.

An' i break things: anything i touch,
I just get around an' then i'm bound to tear 'em up.
Yeah, i make things snap an' fall apart.
So if you wanna hold me, boy, you better watch your heart,
Because i break things.

Mmmm, i break things.
