[Verse 1]
You're a good actor, must be a drag
To know me when I'm down
Get such a workout, talking in circles
Here, then back around
You tell me sweetly you wouldn't have me
Any other way
You're not a liar, but I can't believe you
When I'm in this state
[Chorus]
I cave
Like I was built to break
Like I was built to break
[Verse 2]
Shifting perspective, gets pretty hectic
When you're weak of will
Holding my breath and counting to ten
Like dread's numerical
When in my right mind, I seem to know
I'm not a pain to you
But somehow, knowing that doesn't conflict with
Knowing it's not truŠµ
[Chorus]
I cave
Like I was built to break
You stay
LikŠµ it's a passing rain
[Bridge]
How can you hold me
When I'm dissolving?
How can you hold me
When I'm dissolving?
[Chorus]
I cave
Like I was built to break
Like I was built to break
I cave
Like I was built to break
You stay
Like it's a passing rain
I cave
Like I was built to break
You stay
As if it's not in vain
