Break Me Down Lyrics
It's too late, the time has come
I’ve kept this inside me for way too long
Silence will leave me cold
Lost on a highway that never takes me home
Chorus:
I want to step aside
I want to give it up
Before I lose it all
It's tearing me inside
The way you break me down
Oh there will come a time
When I will come undone
And you will let me fall
I'll leave it all behind
Before you break me down
The weight of a thousand lies
Promises broken haunt me all the time
You say that you're sure to change
But that black heart reveals that
you’ll always stay the same
(Chorus)
I realize
Forgiveness
Is calling
It’s calling
I’ve denied
The reason
I’m falling
I’m falling
So let go
(Chorus)
I’ve kept this inside me for way too long
Silence will leave me cold
Lost on a highway that never takes me home
I want to step aside
I want to give it up
Before I lose it all
It's tearing me inside
The way you break me down
Oh there will come a time
When I will come undone
And you will let me fall
I'll leave it all behind
Before you break me down
Promises broken haunt me all the time
You say that you're sure to change
But that black heart reveals that
you’ll always stay the same
Forgiveness
Is calling
It’s calling
The reason
I’m falling
I’m falling

It sounds like the singer is finally telling someone that he wants out of a bad relationship. After the chorus is repeated for the first time, it sounds like the singer realizes the other person has been dragging him down, but he should just forgive the person and move on with his life without him/her.
I love this song. Its one of my favourite song from their new album 'Blackbird' I love the way song starts. Such a melody!! 'It's too late, the time has come I kept this inside me, for way too long Silence will leave me cold' very emotional!!
