break down

pull the little pieces 

all together now, leave it alone

i should’ve known

should’ve known better

but we don’t always do what we’re told

you stood still

i crossed my heart 

hoped to die

while you just smiled, kept it all locked up inside

you broke in 

you cast your spells

held me down

without even trying

and i believed you could change

boy was i wrong

you’re the still the same, you’re still the same

thought i had it at all

but you’re still the same, you’re still the same

fade out

pull the black screen down

all alone now, walk away clean

i didn’t see

didn’t see it coming

but we don’t always want to see what is real

threw me up

against the wall

left me with no room to breathe

breathe it in like i needed to

hit me right where it counts

held my heart

in your hands

i really believed you could change

chorus

you shut me out

you shut me down

you take the blame this time

you keep me pinned

you keep me pinned 

let me out, let me out of here now

chorus

thought i had it all

but you’re still the same, you’re still the same

thought i had it all

but you’re still the same, you’re still the same

thought i had it all

but you’re still the same, you’re still the same
