Tear me apart
Bleed my beating heart
then tell me
I must heal myself

Carve out my darkness
Dig up all my hell
then tell me you can't be there
that I must save myself

Break me down
then tell me I'm too broken
Cut me up
then tell me you can't take me like this
Broken down
you look at what you've made me
and tell me you need someone whole

Strip me of
all that is beautiful
Then tell me you dreamed 
of someone else

Tear me down
then ask why I'm not standing
Say I must be stronger
Or you're not hanging around

Break me down
then tell me I'm too broken
Cut me up
then tell me you can't take me like this
Broken down
you look at what you've made me
and tell me you need someone whole

You tell me I don't need you
That someone else will love me
But you can't find a reason to

You tell me you don't need me
There's nothing that I give you
You can't see anything in me any more

Break me down
then tell me I'm too broken
Cut me up
then tell me you can't take me like this
Broken down
you look at what you've made me
and tell me you need someone whole

Break me down
then tell me I'm too broken
Cut me up
then tell me you can't take me like this
Broken down
you look at what you've made me
and tell me you need someone whole
