Breaking Ain't the End Lyrics | R.J. Sloane
Breaking Ain't the End is an outlaw country ballad by R.J. Sloane about a father carrying his family through hard times without ever letting the weight show.
The paycheck that's gone before it's spent, the fear he hides till the coast is clear, the small hand that keeps him standing when nothing else could.
VERSE 1
Paycheck gone
Before it's spent
Bills stacked high
A losing hand
She don't know
How broke we are
I hide the fear
Till the coast is clear
PRE-CHORUS
Carry the hard
Own what's beyond
Breaking ain't the end
It's the start
CHORUS
When I break...
I see it coming
Hear the pain
Building steam
When I break
I don't give in
Flat on my back
I get up again
VERSE 2
Tiny trusting hand
Needs Daddy strong
Won't ever let her know
Shame hollows me
When the dark days storm
She's my anchor
Tiny hand to tether
I'll never run
PRE-CHORUS
Carry the hard
Own what's beyond
Breaking ain't the end
It's the start
CHORUS
When I break...
I see it coming
Hear the pain
Building steam
When I break
I don't give in
Flat on my back
I get up again
BRIDGE
Night presses in
Counting what's left
Ain't enough
To see us through
But my baby girl
Trusting eyes look at me
And I won't...
Won't fail her now
PRE-CHORUS
Carry the hard
Own what's beyond
Breaking ain't the end
It's the start
CHORUS
When I break...
I see it coming
Hear the pain
Building steam
When I break
I don't give in
Flat on my back
I get up again
OUTRO
I get up, stronger
Take her tiny hand
Won't fail her again
