|
Now I know I can handle this, |
|
I close my mouth and clench my fist, |
|
I've lived this day in a thousand ways, |
|
But there's a flaw to add to my list, |
|
Go on squeeze a little more, |
|
Cause if you scream I'll just ignore you, |
|
I've rehearsed this scene in a million dreams, |
|
You're gettin closer, to my core. |
|
And I'm so damn frustrated, |
|
Losing breath and now I'm shaking, |
|
Gotta keep myself from breaking down, |
|
Someone get me out |
|
Tear don't you fall, eyes don't you cry, |
|
Need to get me round this corner, |
|
I can't break down, break down. |
|
Pride don't cave in, head don't let go, |
|
While I'm open and you can read me, |
|
I can't break down, break down, |
|
Break down, break down. |
|
Blocked it out for long enough, |
|
Got really good at playing rough now, |
|
I've been prepared and not really cared, |
|
But being brave is getting tough. |
|
Chin don't start to quiver, |
|
Hands now don't you shiver, |
|
Gotta keep myself from breaking down, |
|
Someone get me out |
|
Someone let me out |
|
Tear don't you fall, eyes don't you cry, |
|
Need to get me round this corner, |
|
I can't break down, break down. |
|
Pride don't cave in, head don't let go, |
|
While I'm open and you can read me, |
|
I can't break down, break down. |
|
You smile like the cat who's got the cream, |
|
I'm vulnerable and I know you see me, |
|
There's so much I want to say, |
|
But this lump in my throat makes me walk away |
|
Away |
|
Away |
|
Away |
|
Away |
|
Tear don't you fall, eyes don't you cry, |
|
Pride don't cave in, head don't let go. |
|
Tear don't you fall, eyes don't you cry, |
|
Need to get me round this corner, |
|
I can't break down, break down. |
