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 worse I 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 And 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 worse I 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 You 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 soul I 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
