{{Song lineage|{{Song lineage:You're Holding Me Back}}}}
"'''Break Me'''" (or "'''You'll Never Break Me'''") is a song written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in [[2004]] and demoed in contention for the band's fifth album, ''[[Make Believe]]''.

==Overview==
==Overview==
The song was demoed several times by the band in [[2004]] at the S.I.R. rehearsal studios. It was then recorded during the band's second attempt at making ''Make Believe'', at Grandmaster Recorders in Los Angeles, CA. It was one of 12 songs that Rivers Cuomo asked to band to only concentrate on, as well as part of the early ''[[Unchained Melody]]'' working album.
"Break Me" is a reworking of an earlier demo, "'''[[Ever Again]]'''." It was later reworked again as the demos "'''[[Stand Up]]'''" and "'''[[You're Holding Me Back]]'''". "Break Me" was demoed by Cuomo at S.I.R. Rehearsal Studios and was considered part of Cuomo's "A-list" of songs to focus on. Ultimately, however, the song was not recorded by [[Weezer]] when the band entered the studio to record ''Make Believe''.

<poem>
Holding my heart
Feeling the beat
Never content to admit defeat
Look at you now
My, how you've grown
Ready to reap all the seed that you've sown
 
You'll never break me
You'll never break me
You'll never see me cry
You'll never break me
You'll never break me
Until the day we die
 
How does it feel
Knowing you won
Moving the stars and the moon and the sun
Looking around
Seeing the truth
There is not much more that you can undo
 
You'll never break me
You'll never break me
You'll never see me cry
You'll never break me
You'll never break me
Until the day we die
 
All my loving
All my loving
All my loving
I want to give you
 
All my loving
All my loving
All my loving
I'll give to you
