The Breakdown Lyrics

Please

You have to escape

You have to come here

I'm scared to hurt you

It's me you should fear

I'm breaking apart

I'm finally whole

It's out of my head

It's entered my soul

You're tearing me down

So let me be real

You ought to see now

About how I feel

So don't hold your breath

I'll just fall apart

And show you my heart

You oughta know by now

I'm not what I appear

No I'm just the monster that

I always claimed to fear

So swallow your pride and admit

You just weren't that smart

And maybe you'll get away

Before I break your heart

Why

Don't you understand

I'm telling the truth

Or do you know now

I'm lying to you

You shouldn't have tried

To get in my way

I need you to leave

I want you to stay

My head is a blur

It's coming undone

I need help but I

Don't need anyone

So don't hold your breath

I'm falling apart

Now show me your heart

You oughta know by now

I'm not what I appear

No I'm just the monster that

I always claimed to fear

So swallow your pride and admit

You just weren't that smart

And maybe you'll get away

Before I break your heart

You don't trust me

Now I hear you

Give me hell but

I don't fear you

You will always

Wish I'm not, but

I'm the secret

You gave up, oh

I'm the figure

You called savior

One day maybe

I'll behave or

Hang the rope and

Sell your soul, it's

All I need to

Make me whole, been

So damn long since

Your old times, I

Confess I can't

See your eyes, I'll

Walk until I'm

All alone so

Finally you can

Let me go, it's

Not your fault I

Lied before you

Knew I'm not quite

Any more my

Heart keeps racing

Can you see me

Shred the art and

Let me be, I'm

On the track but

Off the record

I don't feel it

Could you ever

You've been taught what's

Good from bad, I

Just can't stay with

What we had, I

Know you're better

Off without me

Every line that

You couldn't see

Call me perfect

Call me hero

Or just let me

Fall to zero

I'll keep praying

I'll keep hoping

You might just keep

Your door open

You oughta know by now

I'm not what I appear

No I'm just the monster that

I always claimed to fear

Swallow your pride and admit

You just weren't that smart

And maybe you'll get away

Before I break your heart

I oughta know by now

I need to disappear

Cause I'm just a monster that

You all still have to fear

The borders that held me back

For years cannot be found

And every heart I had

Just keeps on breaking down
