But incase you never noticed
and incase you just canÂ’t seeÂ…
This is me breaking down
IÂ’m falling to my knees

My hearts aching
My heads spinning
And I cant find a way out
Lust cant last forever
So IÂ’m gonna have to leave this town

You should have listened when they said
HeÂ’ll only break you down
HeÂ’ll shatter the pieces of your heart
HeÂ’ll throw them all around

But like a forgotten soldier
You lie there in the dust
Minds racing 4 miles a minute
All because of lust

But the truth canÂ’t last you forever.
DonÂ’t count on each day to get better
Take a step.
Make the leap.
Stop. Breath. Close your eyes till never.

The song he sang was just a tune
Words he wrote were meant for you
And maybe it was truthful
Or perhaps it was all a lie

But lying there helpless
Stop breathing.
Gazing at the sky.

He grabbed your waist
You held your breath
Promised to give it all up tonight.

And even though you let him
The tears just couldnÂ’t stay in
You let him go
You gave it upÂ…
You gave it up for him.

And sometime in the future
When youÂ’ve got nothing left to give
YouÂ’ll think back to that time and say
There was so much more life to live

Because even when youÂ’re helpless
And even when youÂ’re small
Chances are youÂ’ve still got something
When thereÂ’s nothing left at all

So donÂ’t be afraid to go home
To the city you once knew
Pack your bags and hop the train
DonÂ’t forget to leave the view

Cuz heÂ’ll be standing at the station
Watching you leave his town
Tears in his eyes and your smell on his clothes
His eyes will fall to the ground

And you are the bigger person now
You got up and walked away
Because even though he broke your heart
You looked for reasons to stay

So maybe if you didnÂ’t notice
Or incase you didnÂ’t see
That was me breaking down
But this is meÂ…going homeÂ…setting my heart free
