Can't Break Down

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

'Cos 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

Hair don't let go

While I'm hoping that you can greet me

I can't break down, break down, break down

I've locked it out for long enough

I'm 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

Hair don't let go

While I'm hoping that you can greet me

I can't break down, break down

I smile like the cat who's got the cream

I'm vulnerable and I know you see me

There's so much I wanna say,

But this lump in my throat makes me walk away, away, away, away

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

Tear don't you fall (Tear don't you fall)

Eyes don't you cry (Eyes don't you cry)

Need to get me round this corner

I can't break down, break down

Pride don't cave in (Pride don't cave in)

Head don't let go

While I'm hoping that you can greet me

I can't break down, break down
