Lyrics
Well you break me down so easily
and you crack the walls here surrounding me
and I'm so exposed and so incomplete
in the naked truth you so clearly see
And this sleight of hand is my only defense and you know
that this sleight of hand is my only defense from you
and if you should break in through my walls I wouldn't know what to do
Well you have no doubt I'll be back again
so you ruin me because you know you can
And I'm suffering but I'll never learn
how to keep you out when you want back in
And this sleight of hand is my only defense and you know
that this sleight of hand is my only defense from you
and if you should break in through my walls I wouldn't know what to do
And I wonder how much more now I can take
until I bleed to death from the wounds you've made
but if you would care to make a few more
I'd always let you back in
