Don't Break Me Down

[Verse] Echoes in hallways shadows in night Memories fade dreams take flight Empty bottles windows tight closed Lonely whispers heart's decomposed [Verse 2] Songs of sorrow violins weep Silent mornings no kiss to keep Tangled sheets cold without heat Letters unread voices retreat [Chorus] Don't break me down I'm barely whole Love's illusion soul pays the toll Don't tear apart fragile as bone In this darkness I stand alone [Verse 3] Days dissolve like teardrops fall Hope's specter climbs the crumbling wall Eyes of crystal mirrors of pain Longing lingers like autumn rain [Bridge] Scars open wounds never mend In this maze no light to lend Worlds collide fracture and bend Love's cruel game no chance to defend [Verse 4] Footsteps echo dreams untold Once was fire now lukewarm cold Words like daggers hearts unfold Promises shattered tales unfold
