Late nights, old dreams
Heartbeats from a distant scene
Face down but not wakin' up
Don't sleep, I've gotta get out of here
Don't speak, 'cause there's a fire inside
That burns this world alive

Breakdown, don't say it's over
Or fade out like a fallen star
Save the teardrops for the rain
Hush now, look away
Breakdown, take it over
Or fade out like a broken heart
Save your flowers for the grave
Hush now, the end can wait

(Save your teardrops for the rain
Hush now, look away)

Long nights, can't sleep
Whispers from an endless sea
They say, have you had enough?
I keep running away but the days get longer
I'm starin' out over the edge again
There's a war set deep inside us

Breakdown, don't say it's over
Or fade out like a fallen star
Save the teardrops for the rain
Hush now, look away
Breakdown, take it over
Or fade out like a broken heart
Save your flowers for the grave
Hush now, the end can wait

There's a calm within the storm (oh-oh-oh-oh)
There's a longing for belonging, there's a sky that's left to dawn
There's a fire set to burn (oh-oh-oh-oh)
There's a silence of defiance in the time we waste away
All the lives we try to save

Breakdown, don't say it's over (say it's over)
Or fade out like a fallen star (a fallen star)
Save the teardrops for the rain
Hush now, look away
Breakdown, take it over (take it over)
Or fade out like a broken heart (a broken heart!)
Save your flowers for the grave
Hush now, the end can wait

(Save your teardrops for the rain
Hush now, the end can wait)
