Every time I call you on the phone
I listen to it ring but no one’s home
I can’t explain the energy that
You give me when I’m left here alone
And every time I pass you on the street
You won’t even turn and look at me
I never would’ve thought that things could
Go this far but please believe me

I’ll pick you up, won’t let you fall
I’ll build your trust and it won’t hurt at all
Your only drug will let you down
I’m through now, so take me and blow me away

When I feel numb I’ll let you know
I won’t become what I was before
You cannot kill what’s not your creation
This is the art of breaking

I think I might just lose my mind
If I have to watch this one more time
I can’t explain how many times I’ve
Stayed for you when you were on my mind
No one ever said that it was easy
So come out of the cold and stop your bleeding
I never would’ve thought that things could
Go this far, but please believe me

I’ll pick you up, won’t let you fall
I’ll build your trust and it won’t hurt at all
Your only drug will let you down
I’m through now, so take me and blow me away

When I feel numb I’ll let you know
I won’t become what I was before
You cannot kill what’s not your creation
This is the art of breaking

Are you gonna run away (and leave me here alone?)
Are you gonna run away (and leave me here?)

When I feel numb I’ll let you know
I won’t become what I was before
You cannot kill what’s not your creation
This is the art of breaking
When I feel numb I’ll let you know
I won’t become what I was before
You cannot kill what’s not your creation
This is the art of breaking
This is the art of breaking
This is the art of breaking
