Lyrics

Shadows on the pavement burn a watermark of you And every city siren calls your name down every avenue I'm falling into contemplation, broken to my knees But I need no resolution here though it cuts me at the seams I'm still the same But you're not going to take me down again I'm feeling old That doesn't mean you can break my soul See my youth begin to fade through the eyes of a child And I study every lesson learned that wiped away my smile And I learn that all your walls are just the cover of a book Every word a broken promise, every page a heart you took I'm still the same But you're not going to take me down again I'm feeling old That doesn't mean you can break my soul Break my soul Buried like a splinter Ripped apart like paper Blows away like ashes in my hands No, I won't see you later Go build another castle out of sand Like ashes in my hands I'm not drowning in your sea Believing in you will not be the death of me Not waiting for the curtain to drop Or waiting for the hurt to stop Not drowning in a teardrop for your love Break my soul Break my soul I'm still the same But you're not going to take me down again I'm feeling old That doesn't mean you can break my soul
