10.about to break

friends have gone
and left this world behind
so a small town lives
for tales of you and i
i’m in a broken home
your father’s in jail
when we try to leave
all we do is fail

when you think i’ll break, will you stand by me?
when you think i’ll break say things aren’t what they seem
i’m trying hard but i can’t catch a break
each day we stay becomes too hard to take

i have this broken dream
when i’m lost in your face
i see me with you
but i’m so out of place
should i let you go and
save your misplaced faith in me
or should i hope
for what good there could be

when you think i’ll break, will you stand by me?
when you think i’ll break say things aren’t what they seem
i’m trying hard but i can’t catch a break
each day we stay becomes too hard to take
