BREAK ME

I turn off all the lights, sit alone with the dark

Every memory of you still lives in my heart

I told myself I'd move on, I told myself I'm fine

But every single night I'm reading between the lines

And I know I shouldn't call you

Know I shouldn't reach across the distance

But something stronger pulls me

Beyond every wall I built with good intentions

Go ahead and break me, break me down

Let your love come crashing like the rain hits the ground

I've been standing guard but I'm giving up the fight

Break me open, baby, let me feel it tonight

Break me, break me, break me — into something real

'Cause without you falling apart is how I heal

You said we were forever, I said I understood

But understanding doesn't always mean it's good

I've been holding all the pieces where you used to be

Maybe letting go of perfect is how I'll be free

And I know it might destroy me

Know these walls are all that's left of something broken

But I'd rather feel the fire

Than spend another lifetime with these words unspoken

Go ahead and break me, break me down

Let your love come crashing like the rain hits the ground

I've been standing guard but I'm giving up the fight

Break me open, baby, let me feel it tonight

Break me, break me, break me — into something real

'Cause without you falling apart is how I heal

I never thought I'd be the one to say

I need you more the further that you fade

So take me back to nothing, take me down

'Cause I was never stronger than right now

Go ahead and break me, break me down

Let your love come crashing like the rain hits the ground

I've been standing guard but I'm giving up the fight

Break me open, baby, let me feel it tonight

Break me, break me, break me — into something real

'Cause without you falling apart is how I heal
