Shadows on the pavement burn a watermark of you
And every city siren calls your name down every avenue
I'm falling into contemplation, broken to my knees
But I need no resolution here though it cuts me at the seams
I'm still the same
You're not going to take me down again
I'm feeling old
But that doesn't mean you can break my soul
See my ink begin to fade through the eyes of a child
And I'll study every lesson learned that wipes away my smile
And I learned that all your walls are just the cover of a book
Every word a broken promise, every page a heart you took
I'm still the same
You're not going to take me down again
I'm feeling old
But that doesn't mean you can break my soul
Break my soul
Buried like a splinter
Rips apart like paper
Blows away like ashes in my hand
No, I won't see you later
Go build another castle out of sand
Like ashes in my hand
I'm not drowning in your sea
Believing in you will not be the death of me
I'm not waiting for the curtain drop
Or waiting for the hurt to stop
Not drowning in your tear drops
From your love
Break my soul...
Break my soul...
I'm still the same
You're not going to take me down again
I'm feeling old
But that doesn't mean you can break my soul
