Break Me Down

Alter Bridge · Blackbird [2007]

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



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



(CHORUS)



I realize

Forgiveness

Is calling

It's calling



I've denied

The reason

I'm falling

I'm falling



So let go



(CHORUS)
