Break My Soul

Shadows on the pavement burn a watermark of you

And every city siren calls your name down every avenue

I'm falling into contemplation, broken to my knees

But I need no resolution here though it cuts me at the seams

I'm still the same

But you're not going to take me down again

I'm feeling old

That doesn't mean you can break my soul

See my youth begin to fade through the eyes of a child

And I study every lesson learned that wiped away my smile

And I learn that all your walls are just the cover of a book

Every word a broken promise, every page a heart you took

I'm still the same

But you're not going to take me down again

I'm feeling old

That doesn't mean you can break my soul

Break my soul

Buried like a splinter

Ripped apart like paper

Blows away like ashes in my hands

No, I won't see you later,

Go build another castle out of sand

Like ashes in my hands

I'm not drowning in your sea

Believing in you will not be the death of me

Not waiting for the curtain to drop

Or waiting for the hurt to stop

Not drowning in a teardrop for your love

Break my soul.

Break my soul.

I'm still the same

But you're not going to take me down again

I'm feeling old

That doesn't mean you can break my soul
