Don't break me

Intro

Ohh

Ah-ah-ah

(Don't break me)

Verse 1

I laid my cards on a cracked oak table

The tower fell and the floor went cold

The hanged man swings where the candles gutter

Swords in my hands and a story I told

I asked the reader to turn one over

She wouldn't meet my eyes

The devil smiled in the painted corner

And I paid her twice to lie

Pre-Chorus

Maybe the stars are cruel

Maybe the deck is stacked

Maybe I carved this ruin

With my own two hands

Chorus

Don't break me

Don't break me

I've been shattered once and I learned to bleed quiet

Don't break me

Don't break me

Pull the wheel the other way

I'm not done yet

Not today

Post-Chorus

(Don't break me)

Na-na-na

(Don't break me)

Na-na-na

Verse 2

Mirrors reversed and the moon card weeping

Two cups spilled on the parlor rug

I've been the fool walking off the cliff edge

Trusting the air and the hands above

Every reading ends the same

A lesson I can't outrun

I shuffle fate with a shaking fist

And deal myself the sun

Pre-Chorus

Maybe the stars are cruel

Maybe the deck is stacked

Maybe I carved this ruin

With my own two hands

Chorus

Don't break me

Don't break me

I've been shattered once and I learned to bleed quiet

Don't break me

Don't break me

Pull the wheel the other way

I'm not done yet

Not today

Bridge

I will not kneel

I will not fold

I will not hand you the last card I hold

I am the tower

I am the storm

I am the thing that keeps standing when everything's torn

Breakdown

(Don't break me)

Don't break me

(Don't break me)

Don't break me

Chorus

Don't break me

Don't break me

I've been shattered once and I learned to bleed quiet

Don't break me

Don't break me

Pull the wheel the other way

I'm not done yet

Not today

Post-Chorus

(Don't break me)

Na-na-na

(Don't break me)

Na-na-na
