Tell Me (Album Version) Lyrics
Called the race
Tell me it's over now
I cannot stand to look
In the face of my leaders now
I'm burning up tonight
I walk up the stairs
You tell me it's cold outside
I could use some air
Called the race
Tell me it's over now
And it's just not fair
Ooo why
Is this happening
Now why ooo why
Chorus:
Tell me what do you know
About moving forward
Tell me something to say
'Cause I'm screaming screaming
Give me something to make
Before I burn these bridges
How much more can I hate
Without burning up
Not giving up 'till I break down
Not giving up 'till I break down
I turn off the news
I try to get some rest
Wrap my self in heat
Burning up
Why does it take so long
To get myself to sleep
Ooo why
Is this happening
Now why ooo why (not giving up 'til I break down)
(not giving up 'til I break down)
Chorus
Not giving up 'till I break down
Not giving up 'till I break down
Not giving up 'till I break down
Why ooo why (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Is this happening (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Why ooo why (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Is this happening (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Chorus
Why ooo why (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Is this happening (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Now why ooo why (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Is this happening (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Now why ooo why (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Is this happening (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Now why ooo why (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Is this happening (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Tell me it's over now
I cannot stand to look
In the face of my leaders now
I'm burning up tonight
I walk up the stairs
You tell me it's cold outside
I could use some air
Called the race
Tell me it's over now
And it's just not fair
Ooo why
Is this happening
Now why ooo why
Tell me what do you know
About moving forward
Tell me something to say
'Cause I'm screaming screaming
Give me something to make
Before I burn these bridges
How much more can I hate
Without burning up
Not giving up 'till I break down
I try to get some rest
Wrap my self in heat
Burning up
Why does it take so long
To get myself to sleep
Ooo why
Is this happening
Now why ooo why (not giving up 'til I break down)
(not giving up 'til I break down)
Not giving up 'till I break down
Not giving up 'till I break down
Is this happening (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Why ooo why (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Is this happening (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Is this happening (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Now why ooo why (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Is this happening (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Now why ooo why (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Is this happening (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Now why ooo why (Not giving up 'till I break down)
Is this happening (Not giving up 'till I break down)

this song is great! they're pretty damn good live too, I hope they headline their own shows soon.
u dont no if i like this band much yet but theyre pretty cool. good song
I adore these guys, and this song is one of my favorites.
This song is about all the awful stuff going on in the world right now ("I can't stand to look in the face of my leaders now," etc) and the differences we could make if people actually try ("Not giving up 'till I break down"). If you look at the video for this song (their debut video, check it out!) it gives some interesting insight into the message of the song.
yeah dropping daylight is honestly the best band I've ever heard play live. I think from their video it brings alot of more light to the meaning, like how the war is, and goverment, and celebrities. How the world has so much bad in it today.
This song is on the BRATZ soundtrack!!! How could they let their wonderful music be a part of that? I wonder what they were thinking... Their music is still awesome though.
