Break Your Knees Lyrics - Flyleaf

Breaks your knees and leaves you so 

The sun can burn you up and wear you out 

It's an angry summer 

There's no room to smile 

When the face you make just before you cry 

Looks so young like a child 

The sun will set on this my dear 

Your labors aren't in vain 

You're blistered and you're burned from it 

Your wounds are gonna heal 

Life on earth will end for all conceived 

And prove to be only a breath, 

A mist, a womb for what's to come 

How soon forever arrives 

The sun will set on this my dear 

Your labors aren't in vain 

You're blistered and you're burned from it 

Your wounds are gonna heal 

Steadfast my love 

The end is near 

Just keep your eyes ahead 

Grab hold of me 

I'll help you there 

You're never on your own 

You're never all alone 

Life on earth will end for all conceived 

And prove to be only a breath, 

A mist, a womb for what's to come 

How soon forever arrives 

Breaks your knees and leaves you so 

The sun can burn you up and wear you out 

It's an angry summer 

Don't look at the past again 

The first and last has made everything new 

And you are too 

So lift your head 

And let your story be told 

Life on earth will end for all conceived 

And prove to be only a breath, 

A mist, a womb for what's to come 

How soon forever arrives 

The sun will set on this my dear 

Your labors aren't in vain 

You're blistered and you're burned from it 

Your wounds are gonna heal (forever arrives) 

The sun will set on this my dear 

Your labors aren't in vain 

Life on earth will end for all conceived 

And prove to be only a breath, 

A mist, a womb for what's to come 

How soon forever arrives
