It doesn't take much to break me down.

One word is all it takes,

To shatter my heart,

Like glass, you can watch it break.


Break me down, bring me to my knees.

I'll do anything, if it's what you need.

Cut me open, carve a smile on my face.

Take me to bed, all dressed in lace.


Take me apart, careful with the pieces.

Fragile like glass, worn at the creases.

My heart is like paper, even has a few holes.

Kept it in your pocket, its one true home.


Break me down and bruise my skin.

Take my hand, take my heart.

We're alone now, you know your way in.

You've known it from the start.


Hold me, caress me, kiss away my scars.

Break my damaged, cracked heart.

Do it while we watch the stars.

Let the Gods see me fall apart.


Break me down, put a bullet to my skull.

Life without you is a life I can't live.

Break me down so you'll feel whole.

So you can learn to forget.


Break me down, do it with a kiss.

That's all I ask,

It's my dying wish.

Sealed in a flask.


Drink me down,

I'm cold enough for the likes of you.

Expose me to the entire town.

Then split my heart in two.


Anything you do will break me down.

That's what happens in love.

You found me when I didn't want to be found.

Just to prove I wasn't enough.

This is sort of how I feel about someone, in a pretty fucked up way. We've got a messed up story, to say the least. He's everything to me, I'm nothing to him. That just seems to be my record with people, I guess. He'll always be everything, regardless of if he breaks me down a million times or not.
