If you open the door you said
you're breaking my heart again
so stay here
You said you need me to be
exactly the same
year after year

I wanted to pretend, alright
I was strong enough to end the fight
that was always going on inside
I wish that I was doing alright

If I could be the one expected of me
someone consistent
But I don't give a shit anymore
about your system

I wanted to pretend, alright
I was strong enough to end
the fight that was always going on inside
but I need to feel I'm doing just fine

So, I'm gonna break it down
break it down, break it down
I'm gonna break it down
break it down, break it down

You've held me for long enough
enchanted me for long enough
but now it's getting hard to breathe
And even if you mean well
you've crippled me with your spell
so, I'll have to show you my teeth

I wanted to pretend, alright
I was strong enough to end the fight
but if you're gonna close the door on me
I've got no other way to be

So I'm gonna break it down
break it down, break it down
I'm gonna break it down
break it down, break it down
I'm gonna break it down
I'm gonna break it down

And if I never turn to face you
won't I just come to another door?
