…of token lust
And I should have been down when you made me insecure
So break me down if it makes you feel right
And hate me now…
…to both of us
But what a waste of my time when the world we had was yours
So break me down if it makes you feel right
(So break me down)
And hate me now…
…if it keeps you all right
(So break me down)
You can't break me down if it takes all your might
'Cause I am so much more than all your…

I'm done wasting time
Being brokеn-hearted
When you'rе all I wanted
So break me down, yeah
Take it off
Bust all my walls down
'Cause…
…you're all I wanted
So break me down, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Da-da, da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da
Break me down
Da-da, da-da, da…
…all I wanted
So break me down, yeah
Take it off
Bust all my walls down
'Cause you're all I wanted
So break me down, yeah

…it out
I'm terrified 'cause I've lost my fear of doubt
But the war is over now
So break me down, if it makes you feels alright
Shake me…
…of doubt
But the war is over now
So break me down, if it makes you feels alright
Shake me off, if it helps you sleep at night
Hold me down…
…in the river, take my breath away
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
So break me down, if it makes you feels alright
Shake me…

…/I've been going off on a tangent, I feel like spazzin, I don't really like a trend/So break me down, break me down, and break me…
…break me down again/I used to just get drunk at the pad, wake up play madden, now I'm trying to jump out the gym/So break me down…
…rims/So break me down, and break me down, and break me break me down again/I been going outta mind, so how do I define, a swan dive…

…are caught in tongue-ties
So break me down
When you hit the ground
I'll be by your side
When you're lying awake
You know I'm losing…
You know I nearly went and lost myself
Trying to be somebody else
So break me down
When you hit the ground
I'll be by your side…

…and collapsed
Why calm and collapsed
Why calm and collapsed
We were calm and collapsed
So break me down
Our love isn't cool
So…
…break me down
And crucify me again
'Cause even if it feels strange
It stands apart from nature
Even if we don't know
We're…

…or what is right
I fall, you rise
Someone tell me what it's like to live or die
So break me down
Cold and heartless, feel so lifeless
It's time…
…is this cold
These pulses and wires and electrical strides in my veins
I'm done, I fold
All of my thoughts are just too hard to explain
So break me down
Falling down
I knew…

…to be
Guess what I came back for
So break me down and build me up
'Cause it's killing me and I've had enough
And I said I…
And you've got a hold on me
So break me down and build me up
'Cause it's killing me and I've had enough
And I said I…

This all seems too familiar...
So break me down just like I know you could
Well guess what?
I've got my best shoes on and I'm ready to do some…
This all seems too familiar...
So break me down just like I know you could
Well guess what?
I've got my best shoes on and I'm ready to do some…

…is missing
So break me down, I wanna have a break down
‘Cause it's better than walking on a balance beam
Push me down now, push me off…
…want help
[Chorus 2]
Imagine
Being so damn passive
Oh, I'm just existing
Can't tell what is missing
So break me down, I wanna…

We're calm and collapsed (x3)
Now I'm calm and collapsed
So break me down
I'm hungry for pain
So break me down
And crucify me…

…all the time
So break me down
Folded over your arms
Like an unloaded shotgun
Dismantled and harmless
Even you couldn't manage…

…?
I'm sorry it's not what you want it to be
Why do we run from the ones that want to stay?
[Bridge]
(So break me down, and shut me…

…know
Your everything I try to be
The rise and fall to respond to the call
I got butterflies
(Chorus)
You're all I have
So break…
…me down
You're all I am
And nothing else matters
This is a long shot
It's all I have
I'm ready to step it up
All I need…
