I Can’t Break Down Lyrics by Sinead Quinn

NOW That’s What I Call Music! 54 [UK]

2003

'Cause if you scream I'll just ignore you
I've rehearsed this scene in a million dreams
You're gettin closer, to my core
And I'm so damn frustrated
Losing breath and now I'm shaking
Gotta keep myself from breaking down
Someone get me out
Tear don't you fall, eyes don't you cry
Need to get me round this corner
I can't break down, break down
Pride don't cave in, head don't let go
While I'm open and you can read me
I can't break down, break down
Break down, break down
Blocked it out for long enough
Got really good at playing rough now
I've been prepared and not really cared
But being brave is getting tough
Chin don't start to quiver
Hands now don't you shiver
Gotta keep myself from breaking down
Someone get me out
Someone let me out
Tear don't you fall, eyes don't you cry
Need to get me round this corner
I can't break down, break down
Pride don't cave in, head don't let go
While I'm open and you can read me
I can't break down, break down
You smile like the cat who's got the cream
I'm vulnerable and I know you see me
There's so much I wanna say
But this lump in my throat makes me walk away
Away
Away
Away
Away
Tear don't you fall, eyes don't you cry
Pride don't cave in, head don't let go
Tear don't you fall, eyes don't you cry
Need to get me round this corner
I can't break down, break down
Pride don't cave in, head don't let go
While I'm open and you can read me
I can't break down, break down
Can't Break down, break down
