You're breaking me down.

How do I fly with these broken wings?
How do I forget you when you're in my dreams?
How do I save myself,
When I want you to save me?
How do I get by when you're always around?
You're screaming at me but you don't make a sound.
You don't even know I am there.
You're breaking me down.

Forgetting you, is proving to be such a hard thing to do.
My heart just won't let you go.
Why can't I let you go?
Forgetting you. I'd give up the world just to start over new.
I want you out of my head.
I want you out of my heart.
Why can't I let you go?
You're breaking me down.

How do I fly with these broken wings?
How do I forget you when you're in my dreams?
How do I save myself,
When I want you to save me?
How do I get by when you're always around?
You're screaming at me but you don't make a sound.
You don't even know I am there.
You're breaking me down.

Forgetting you; why can't my heart just forget you?
Starting new; is proving to be such a hard thing to do.

Break me down. Break me down.
I'm done crying over you.
I'm going to start over new.

I know I can fly with these broken wings.
I will not sleep so that I will not dream.
I will save myself,
Cause I know you won't save me.
I will get by cause you won't be around.
You won't scream at me 'cause a new me's been found.
I won't even know you are there.
You won't break me down.

Please don't break me down;
I'm brand new.

I wrote this after I went through a really difficult time. I was with a boy for about a trillion years, and he was my first love, and also my first heartbreak. I wrote this after I realized how strong and better off I am without him.
