Break Me Down

Take it from someone who knows

The constant struggle not to let it show

Let it go

Watching happiness keep walking past your window

You couldn't find it there with him though

Maybe there's a way that everybody wins

Hoping you can still be friends though

Close to giving up, used to giving in

No surprises left, used to getting over it

An unfamiliar reflection in a cracked mirror looking paper thin

I've been sitting here alone for all this time

Searching for a signal or a sign

To break me out

Or break me down

I've been waiting by my phone for all this time

Listening for you to drop a line

To break me out

But you just break me down

Into jagged little pieces

Into jagged little pieces

And i don't want you to believe i'm broken as i seem to be

Cuz i don't need you realizing how much you mean to me yeah

Broke your way into the stronghold

Said you in it for the long haul

Just like before it was all talk

Oh yeah

Castle was turned to a jail cell

Took everything that was nailed down

Leaving me so fucking frail now

Don't need you to stay around

Tired of growing up, used to calling quits

No surprises left, used to almost everything

An unfamiliar reflection in a cracked mirror that's just what it is

I've been sitting here alone for all this time

Searching for a signal or a sign

To break me out

Or break me down

I've been waiting by my phone for all this time

Listening for you to drop a line

To break me out

But you just break me down

Into jagged little pieces

Into jagged little pieces

And i don't want you to believe i'm broken as i seem to be

Cuz i don't need you realizing how much you mean to me yeah

Jagged little pieces

Into jagged little pieces

Sorry i don't need this

And i wish that i could mean it

Cut me til i'm bleeding

And I'm nothing when you're leaving

I wish you were what i needed

And i wish i could believe it
