break down and cry

written by idha övelius

it always comes to me at night
when everybody is sleeping tight
they never notice anything
they never ask me where i've been

i always try to carry on
but can't accept what's going on
i know that i won't live to tell
about how close I've been to hell

but you won't see me
break down and cry

the years have passed, it's dead and gone
but i remembered all along
no one else can take the blame
no one else could feel the same

i always try to carry on
when i can feel it coming on
it's such a dull and aching pain
falling down like devil's rain

but you won't see me
break down and cry

i am the mistress of every broken dream
beaten and busted, haunted and lusted, it's me
i'm trying but sometimes you've got to
break down and cry
