|
Shadows on the pavement burn a watermark of you |
|
And every city siren calls your name down every avenue |
|
I'm falling into contemplation, broken to my knees |
|
But I need no resolution here though it cuts me at the seams |
|
I'm still the same |
|
But you're not going to take me down again |
|
I'm feeling old |
|
That doesn't mean you can break my soul |
|
See my youth begin to fade through the eyes of a child |
|
And I study every lesson learned that wiped away my smile |
|
And I learn that all your walls are just the cover of a book |
|
Every word a broken promise, every page a heart you took |
|
I'm still the same |
|
But you're not going to take me down again |
|
I'm feeling old |
|
That doesn't mean you can break my soul |
|
Break my soul |
|
Buried like a splinter |
|
Ripped apart like paper |
|
Blows away like ashes in my hands |
|
No, I won't see you later, |
|
Go build another castle out of sand |
|
Like ashes in my hands |
|
I'm not drowning in your sea |
|
Believing in you will not be the death of me |
|
Not waiting for the curtain to drop |
|
Or waiting for the hurt to stop |
|
Not drowning in a teardrop for your love |
|
Break my soul. |
|
Break my soul. |
|
I'm still the same |
|
But you're not going to take me down again |
|
I'm feeling old |
|
That doesn't mean you can break my soul |
