I taste the aftermath, the aftershock
The candle has burned out
It wasn't worth it, it cuts me up to watch it fade away
I see the broken path, corruptions past
And the pictures are all torn
Silent voices, telling me you're not so perfect

We tried so hard, but we broke down
But we broke down, but we broke down
And in the end, we all break down
We all break down, we all break down

This is who I am
I'm leaving you now
This is who I am
Don't reach for me now
I surrender

You're so predictable, unable
Forgetting honesty
Apparently it's not important
I see through your smoke, I'd rather choke
Than go back down that road
Time has frozen, and everything's about to shatter

We tried so hard, but we broke down
But we broke down, but we broke down
And in the end, we all break down
We all break down, we all break down

This is who I am
I'm leaving you now
This is who I am
Don't reach for me now
I surrender

Every time you say you want me so close to you
I just can't take it
Sorry, but I just can't pretend that I'm in love
I just can't fake it
I surrender

We tried so hard, but we broke down
But we broke down, but we broke down
And in the end, we all break down
We all break down, we all break down

This is who I am
I'm leaving you now
This is who I am
Don't reach for me now
I surrender

Whoa
I'll never fall into your arms again
Whoa
Let's close this book, it's come to the end
Whoa
