Break My Soul
Hybrid Feat. Charlotte James Lyrics

Shadows on the pavement burn a watermark of you
The memories of you are imprinted into my mind and affect every aspect of my life.

And every city siren calls your name down every avenue
Every familiar sound reminds me of you, making it difficult to move on.

I'm falling into contemplation, broken to my knees
The pain and memories are overwhelming me, bringing me to my lowest point.

But I need no resolution here though it cuts me at the seams
I do not need closure from you to heal, but the pain still deeply affects me.

I'm still the same
I am still myself and will not change for someone else.

But you're not going to take me down again
I will not allow you to hurt me again and bring me back to a darker place.

I'm feeling old
The pain has aged me and taken a toll on my soul.

That doesn't mean you can break my soul
However, I will not allow the pain to destroy who I am.

See my youth begin to fade through the eyes of a child
I am reminiscing on my past experiences and realizing how much they have changed me.

And I study every lesson learned that wiped away my smile
I reflect on the hard lessons that I have learned and how they have negatively impacted my life.

And I learn that all your walls are just the cover of a book
You have presented yourself as something you are not and your true intentions are hidden.

Every word a broken promise, every page a heart you took
Every promise you made to me was broken and resulted in you hurting me.

Buried like a splinter
The pain you caused is deep and hard to remove.

Ripped apart like paper
The hurt was so intense that it felt as though I was being ripped into pieces.

Blows away like ashes in my hands
The memories and pain feel fleeting and disappear like ashes in the wind.

No, I won't see you later
I refuse to continue to allow you to hurt me again.

Go build another castle out of sand
Go ahead and attempt to create a new facade, but I will not be fooled again.

I'm not drowning in your sea
I will not let myself be consumed by the pain and sadness that comes with thinking of you.

Believing in you will not be the death of me
I will not allow myself to continue to believe in you and allow you to bring me down again.

Not waiting for the curtain to drop
I am not waiting for an end to the pain, but actively trying to move on.

Or waiting for the hurt to stop
The pain will still be present, but I will not allow it to control me.

Not drowning in a teardrop for your love
I am not going to let my love for you cause me to be consumed by sadness and tears.

Break my soul.
Even though the pain has affected me deeply, I refuse to let it completely break me down.
