I can't break down

Now I know I can handle this
I´ll close my mouth and clench my fist
I´ve lived this day in a thousand ways
But there´s a flaw to add to my list
Go on squeeze a little more
If you scream I´ll just ignore you
I´ve rehearsed this scene in a million dreams
You´re getting closer to my core
I´m so damn frustrated
Losing breath and now I´m shaking
Gotta keep myself from breaking down
Someone get me out
{Refrain:}
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
I´ve locked it out for long enough
Got really good at playing rough now
I´ve been prepared
And not really cared
For being brave is getting tough
Chin now don´t you quiver
Hands don´t start to shiver
Gotta keep myself from breaking down
Someone get me out, someone let me out
{au Refrain}
You smile like the cat that´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
Tear don´t you fall
Eyes don´t you cry
Pride don´t cave in
Head don´t let go
{au Refrain}
Break down, I can´t break down
I´ll close my mouth and clench my fist
I´ve lived this day in a thousand ways
But there´s a flaw to add to my list
Go on squeeze a little more
If you scream I´ll just ignore you
I´ve rehearsed this scene in a million dreams
You´re getting closer to my core
I´m so damn frustrated
Losing breath and now I´m shaking
Gotta keep myself from breaking down
Someone get me out
{Refrain:}
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
I´ve locked it out for long enough
Got really good at playing rough now
I´ve been prepared
And not really cared
For being brave is getting tough
Chin now don´t you quiver
Hands don´t start to shiver
Gotta keep myself from breaking down
Someone get me out, someone let me out
{au Refrain}
You smile like the cat that´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
Tear don´t you fall
Eyes don´t you cry
Pride don´t cave in
Head don´t let go
{au Refrain}
Break down, I can´t break down
