Текст песни Streetlight Manifesto - They Broke Him Down

Did I mention we were dreaming
When the devil came to town?
I was awoken by the screaming,
But nobody heard a sound.
And the lies we told at breakfast
Won't match the lies we had for lunch
And the lies we said for dinner (for dinner), for dinner (for dinner)
They're the tallest of the bunch.

Did you notice he was cold (did you notice he was cold)
When he finally lost control of the ?goal?
And the epilogue I dreaded
It seemed likely to get ?stole?
And I'm still not understanding (and I'm still not understanding)
The things he did before he left
And the one thing that will haunt me (will haunt me), it will haunt me (will haunt me)
Right before his final breath
He said,

And they broke him down
Yeah they broke him down
He said, "I'll never be your saint you see, 'cause I won't be hangin' around."
So they broke him down
Yeah they broke him down
So I stood there and I held my breath
'Cause I knew that it wouldn't be long 'till they broke me down

Did I mention we were flailing (did I mention we were flailing)
When the angels came around (when the angels came around)
They just sat there, they were waiting (they just sat there, they were waiting for the first of us to drown)
For the first of us to drown
And I started going under (and i started going under)
But I didn't hold my breath (but I didn't hold my breath)
Cause the last thin that I needed (I needed), oh, I needed (I needed)
Was to ?wtf I have no idea for this part?

And no one holds a grudge, yeah
Like I do
I see it through
And you may not remember
It was nothing much at the time,
But I kept it bottled inside.

Oh, and we all know how that goes
Yeah. I'd given up on letting go
So here we are
With nothing left here
And now you left dear
And I was last to know

And they broke him down (and they broke him down)
Yeah they broke him down (yeah they broke him down)
So I can't be your saint you see, 'cause I won't be hangin' around
So they broke him down (so they broke him down)
Yeah they broke him down (yeah they broke him down)
So I stood there and I held my breath
'Cause I knew that it wouldn't be long until they broke me down

Holy smokes
Some say he'd given up the ?ghost?
But I think he's in the background (somewhere in the background)
Hiding in his favorite photograph
And he's leaving as a ?bagger? (and he's leaving as a ?bagger?)
Or a millionaire (or a millionaire)
But the one thing that I'm sure of (I'm sure of), I am sure of (I'm sure of)
Is he found some comfort then

And they broke him down (and they broke him down)
Yeah they broke him down (yeah they broke him down)
So I can't be your saint you see, 'cause I won't be hangin' around
So they broke him down (so they broke him down)
Yeah they broke him down (yeah they broke him down)
So I stood there and I held my breath
'Cause I knew that it wouldn't be long until they broke me down

And they broke him down (and they broke him down)
Yeah they broke him down (yeah they broke him down)
So I can't be your saint you see, 'cause I won't be hangin' around
So they broke him down (so they broke him down)
Yeah they broke him down (yeah they broke him down)
So I stood there and I held my breath
'Cause I knew that it wouldn't be long until they broke me down
