it won't break me, it won't break me

( i just fake it all and believe )

( it's just a long, long, long way to go to die )

some things you can't explain away

( but the heartache's in me til this day )

do you remember

( when you were young & you wanted to set the world on fire? )

so you broke down tryin' to leave town...

( ...i broke down crying on your return )
