Steel Strings Breakdown
I kept every letter that we burned
Told myself the pain was
unreturned
(yeah, listen)
Rain hitting hard against the cracked passenger glass Chasing down a phantom
that I swore wouldn't pass Broke my knuckles on the steering wheel,
screaming at the dash Watching all the promises we traded turn to
ash You took the spare keys,
left me with the lease Now I'm pacing in the hallway trading
fury for some peace
(I can't breathe)
Every step is heavy like concrete around my feet
Burned all the bridges just to feel the heat
Bleeding out my pride on this empty street
Tell me who I am when the rage gives way Just a
broke heart talking in the cold gray
(yeah,
in the cold gray)
Look at what you made me,
look at what I built
Brick by brick inside a fortress made of guilt
Said I wasn't worthy,
had to prove you wrong Now I'm spitting pure poison through a
mournful song Telephone is ringing but I let it hit the tone
Rather starve in silence than pretend we're coming home (never coming home)
Got a chest full of venom and a head full of stone (ohhhh)
(let
it burn)
Burned all the bridges just to feel the heat
Bleeding out my pride on this empty street
Tell me who I am when the rage gives way Just a
broke heart talking in the cold gray
(talking in the cold gray,
yeah!)
Nothing left to break now.
Nothing
left to
say. (ahhhh)
