Breaking By

I saw the images sliding away

I saw the innocence die in your eyes that day

A fickle mind in a fucked up place

When your willingness arrives, it's dying away

In the fall, I met this girl named Grace

With a face like Debbie Harry, who was nice on skates

And for a sec, she was my every day

Until her silence implied that I get out of the way

Breaking by

Beating your heart to keep alive

Playing to save your peace of mind

And oh, you sell it well

And I'll be sneaking by

Leaving your feet to sink inside

Praying the week won't take its time

You're so beside yourself

You know you sell it well

You know you sell it well

You know

Live in your mind sometimes

You live in your mind

You live in your mind sometimes

You live in your mind

Another week goes by

You gotta put that thing aside

I can't live without it

I can't seem to see or breathe without it

I can't lift my body, I hate my body

The things I'm running from

I know I keep on wanting to be somebody, oh

Breaking by

Beating your heart to keep alive

Playing to save your peace of mind

And oh, you sell it well

And I'll be sneaking by

Leaving your feet to sink inside

Praying the week won't take its time

You're so beside yourself

You know you sell it well

You sell it well

You know you sell it well

You sell it well

You know
