They Broke Him Down
Did I mention he was dreaming When the devil came to town? I was awoken by the screaming But nobody heard a sound And the lies we tell at breakfast Won't match the lies we share for lunch And the lies we serve for dinner They're the tallest of the bunch, yeah Did I mention he was cold When he finally lost control of the ghost? And the epilogue I dreaded Now seems likely to console And I'm still not understanding The things he did before he left And the one thing that will haunt me Is right before his final breath What he said Oh, they broke me down Yeah they broke me down So I can't be your saint, you see Cause I won't be hanging around And 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 And no one holds a grudge, dear, 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I've given up on letting go So here we are With nothing left, dear And now you've left here And I was last to know Holy smoke Some say he'd given up the ghost But he wouldn't do that I think he's hiding in the background Of his favorite photographs And he's living as a beggar Or maybe a millionaire But the one thing that I'm sure of Is he found some comfort there And that's fair Because they broke him down Oh, they broke him down So he can't be my saint no more He won't be hanging around Oh no And they broke him down Yeah, they broke him down He said I can't be your saint no more Cause I won't be hanging around And they broke him down Yeah, the broke him down So I stood there and I held my breath Because I knew that it wouldn't be long Before they broke me down
