*Tune 1/2 step down*
Em D
The sun is gone and the flowers rot
Em D
Words are spaces between us
Em D
And I should've been drown in the rivers I've found of token lost
Em D
And I should've been down when you made me insecure
C Em
So break me down if it makes you feel right
C Em
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
C Em
You can break me down if it takes all your might
A C Em
'Cause I'm so much more than meets the eye
Em D
And I'm the one you can never trust
Em D
'Cause wounds are ways to reveal us
Em D
And yeah I could have tried and devoted my life to both of us
Em D
But what a waste of my time when the world we have is yours
C Em
So break me down if it makes you feel right
C Em
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
C Em
You can break me down if it takes all your might
A C Em
'Cause I'm so much more than all your lies
C Em C Em A
C Em
Hate me, break me down
C Em
So break me down
C Em
So break me down if it makes you feel right
C Em
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
