Song Lyrics

Now I know I can handle this,
I 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,
Cause if you scream I'll just ignore you,
I've rehearsed this scene in a million dreams,
You're gettin closer, to my core.

And 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,
Break down, break down.

Blocked 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 don't start to quiver,
Hands now don't you 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 who's got the cream,
I'm vulnerable and I know you see me,
There's so much I want to say,
But this lump in my throat makes me walk away
Away
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.
