It came so clear to me, it made me birth myself, leave
To let out the flame and live in the dark
We were the perfect team, and now it seems you're out of reach
I'm held by a string tied to your heart, ah

I'm staring through a looking glass
All this time just passed
And I'm left where I'm at, oh
Oh, oh
You're breaking me down
Breaking me down, oh
You're breaking me down, down
You're breaking me down, ow

I gave in (Gave in)
To desire
You showed me the real
But that's your disguise
This time, I realize
You're just a guy, no paradise
And I need to find my way to the light, oh

And it don't seem to last
I keep losing my past
Baby, I want this back
Maybe we'll make it last
It's like artifacts
I'm staring through a looking glass
All this time just passed
And I'm left where I'm at, oh
Oh, oh
You're breaking me down
Breaking me down, oh
You're breaking me down, down
You're breaking me down, ow
