Lyrics for Break Me Down

It's too late, the time has come I kept this inside me for way too long Silence will leave me cold Lost on a highway That never takes me home I wanna step aside I wanna 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 And 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 I wanna step aside I wanna 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 And I realize forgiveness is calling And it's calling And I've denied the reason I'm falling Yeah, I'm falling So let go I wanna step aside I wanna give it up before I lose it all It's tearing me inside The way you break me down But 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
