[Verse 1]
Taking chances, magic happens
They've a million ways to kill you

[Chorus]
One mistake's all it takes
And your life has come undone
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag, I know it's hard
But you're tearing her apart
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl

[Verse 2]
Here today and gone tomorrow
Just the same, such a loser

[Chorus]
One mistake's all it takes
And your life has come undone
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag, I know it's hard
But you're tearing her apart
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl

[Bridge]
Got to let her go because you're breaking up the girl
The girl
Got to let her go because you're breaking up the girl
The girl
Got to let her go because you're breaking up the girl
The girl

[Chorus]
One mistake's all it takes
And your life has come undone
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag, I know it's hard
But you're tearing her apart
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl

[Outro]
Breaking up the girl
Breaking up the girl
Breaking up the girl
Breaking up the girl
Breaking up the girl
The girl

Garbage

Garbage is a Scottish-American Alternative rock band, formed April 8th 1994. Once producer Butch Vig decided to break out of the rock he had been producing ever since Nirvana’s Nevermind, he got together with his college/studio partners Duke Erikson and Steve Marker to write some demos that would basically be remixes in song form. Once someone commented that “it sounds like garbage”, Vig decided to embrace the name. Then they invited Scottish singer Shirley Manson after seeing her on MTV, and the band’s sound was completed with sly, dark and snarky lyrics delivered in a sultry way.

The band’s eponymous debut album was a surprise hit upon release in August 1995, selling more than 4 million copies worldwide. Follow-up Version 2.0 (1998) was equally successful, even receiving a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year. Then the band recorded “The World Is Not Enough” to the eponymous James Bond movie, and the record industry started to bring the band down.

Beautiful Garbage (2001) was barely promoted due to a release too close to the 9/11 attacks, and underperformed at the charts. Fourth album Bleed Like Me (2005) had a troubled production where bandmembers were frequently arguing, and eventually the album’s tour was cut short and Garbage disbanded for 2 years, only regrouped in 2007 to record new tracks for greatest hits compilation Absolute Garbage.
