Lyrics

Come on, baby
Come and break me
Into little pieces.
And then pour me
Like the whisky
Into a glass.

And wash me down
All I am
Free yourself
If you can.

Come on, baby
Come and break me
Into little pieces
And then sweep me
Like a memory
From your life

And wash me out
All I am
Save yourself
If you can

And fade me out
All I am
Free yourself
If you can

So come on baby,
Come and break me
Into little pieces
And then mourn me
Little pieces
Of the hero you used to be, you used to be.
And then mourn me
Little pieces
Of the hero
You used to be.
