Standard (EADGBE)

 Now I know I can handle this

 I'll 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

 If you scream I'll just ignore you

 I've rehearsed this scene in a million dreams

 You're getting closer to my core

Pre-chorus

 I'm so damn frustrated

 Losing breath and now I'm shaking

 Gotta keep myself from breaking down

 Someone get me out

Chorus

  Chorus

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

 While I'm open and you can read me

 I can't break down, break down

I've locked it out for long enough

Got really good at playing rough now

I've been prepared

And not really cared

For being brave is getting tough

Chin now don't you quiver

Hands don't start to shiver

Gotta keep myself from breaking down

Someone get me out, someone let me out

You smile like the cat that'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

Tear don't you fall

Eyes don't you cry

Pride don't cave in

Head don't let go

Chorus

Break down, I can't break down
