It′s too late the time has come I′ve kept this inside me for way too long Silence will leave me cold Lost on a highway that never takes me home
[Chorus:] I want to step aside I want to give it up Before I lose it all It′s tearing me inside The way you break me down
Oh there will come a time When I will come undone And you will let me fall I′ll leave it all behind Before you break me down
The weight of a thousand lies Promises broken haunt me all the time You say that you′re sure to change But that black heart reveals that You′ll always stay the same
Break me down enough I′ll take your side And all your attitude I would like for you to just decide What you′re gonna do
Maybe I′ll decide I′ve had enough Of what you put me through Then perhaps you could return my stuff And all my records too My 78′s and my 45′s give them back
A rusted silhoutette Embracing burning filament A verbal avalanche is serving up your innocence So bye baby bye Don′t try baby try You can do what you want Stay for a while Know at the end of the day I still make you smile Hum Hum Hum Hum
What you say isn′t what I need Take a chance, did you ever have a dream? You cut me to the core Don′t wanna hear no more
Every time that you built me up You had to knock me down Every time, but I′ve had enough Take your best shot now
You can′t break me down You can′t push me around Still I stand, still I stand You′ll never conquer me You can′t break me down You can′t push me around Still I stand, still I stand You won′t be conquering me
Hide your face, cover up yourself Do you have a soul in your body left to sell? You cut me to the core You can′t hurt me no more
Every time that you built me up You had to knock me down Every time, but I′ve had enough Take your best shot now
You can′t break me down You can′t push me around Still I stand, still I stand You′ll never conquer me You can′t break me down You can′t push me around Still I stand, still I stand You won′t be conquering me Won′t be conquering me
You can′t break me... You can′t break me down You can′t break me...
You can′t break me down You can′t push me around Still I stand, still I stand You′ll never conquer me You can′t break me down You can′t push me around Still I stand, still I stand You won′t be conquering me You won′t be conquering me You can′t break me... You can′t break me... Still I stand, still I stand still I stand
A long day alone Emptiness is so real Never having peace of mind Running from what I can′t sing And there is nowhere left to hide Turn and face these empty lies All alone, heart unturned Trying to find
Break me down replace this fear inside Take this nothingness from me I want to fight I want to shine I want to rise Break me down
I try to find myself I find the stranger trapped inside And I′ll take one more step away From the face I used to recognize Familiar shadows closing in Suffocating fear descends You killed a life, uncovered eyes
I′m trying to find Break me down replace this fear inside Take this nothingness from me I want to fight I want to shine I want to rise Break me down
Replace this fear inside Take this nothingness from me I want to fight I want to shine I want to rise Break me down
Break me down I want to fight I want to shine I want to rise Break me down [repeat]
