Homeboi's Diary

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
'Cos if you scream I'll just ignore you
I've rehearsed this scene in a million dreams
You're getting closer to my core

And I'm so damn frustrated
Losing breath and now I'm shaking
Gotta keep myself from breaking down
Someone get me out

[Chorus]
Tears 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 don't start to quiver
Hands don't start to shiver
Gotta keep myself from breaking down
Someone get me out, someone let me out

Chorus

You smile like the cat who'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, Away

Tear don't you fall
Eyes don't you cry
Pride don't cave in
Head don't let go

Chorus

Break down, I can't break down.
