Now I know I can handle this I'll 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 If you scream I'll just ignore you I've rehearsed this scene in a million dreams You're getting closer to my core
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
I've locked 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 now don't you quiver Hands don't start to 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 that's got the cream I'm vulnerable and I know you see me There's so much I wanna say But this lump in my throat makes me walk 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 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, I can't break down
