lyrics

She's as distant as the winter sun
More consistent than the beat of a drum
All this time she's been hiding her weakness away from me

Then one day I touched a nerve by mistake
Pressed too hard and she started to shake
Every time that I go there I know there's so much she can take
Before she breaks

She breaks like China
She breaks like China
The longer we take - the bigger we break when we find out

I keep a close eye on the way I act
Even when I start to see all the cracks
I give nothing away but expect her to stay with me

When she worked out where my weakness lay
She wouldn't stop until I gave way
Every time that she goes there she know there's so much I can take
Before I break

I break like China
I break like China
The longer we take - the bigger we break when we find out

The stronger we act - the longer we crack
There's only so much we can take till we start to break

We're constructed from the same design
With a heart that makes no sense to the mind
We can keep it together but pressure and time have their way

For the things we try to keep inside
Find their way out in the dark of the night
All it takes is the tiniest touch and there's only so much
Before we break

We break like China
We break like China
The longer we take - the bigger we break when we find out

China
