Backbreaker Lyrics

I should have let you die that night

When your heart slipped in and out of time

Overdosing on your moms

Busted

Air

Mattress

How you begged to see the light

In my studio apartment

As the neighbors held their breath

Ears to the wall aching to find out what would come next

And i want you to know

I gave my all to be

The back to break your fall

(Break your fall)

And I want you to know

I gave this all of me

And now you're on you're own

You're on your own

(On your own)

Here we go again

Another night lost to the bottle

Watch you flip from end to end

Of your emotionally hollow

Broken heart

Try to tear me apart

Cast your stones and your arrows to sink me

(Try to sink me)

And I want you to know

I gave my all to be

The back to break your fall

(Break your fall)

And I want you to know

I gave this all of me

And now you're on you're own

You're on you're own

Took my for granted as time went on

Assumed I'd always be there to break your fall

And for a time I was

I couldn't watch you drown

But hate to say the stories definitely different now

I hope

This feels

As personal as I meant it to be

I hope

This hits

Close to home and leaves you reeling

I still think of all the nights we stayed up to see the sunrise

And how it's light would eat away at me

Drugs still coursing through our veins as you try to comfort me

Worthless words and empty gestures

Are your plaster and your mold

Praying to repair

The person that you broke

And I want you to know

I gave my all to be

The back to break your fall

(Break your fall)

And I want you to know

I gave this all of me

And now your on your own

For all the sleepless nights

All the times I cried

All the wasted life

I gave my all

To you
