LYRICS

Oh, ooh, oh, oh
Oh, ooh, oh, oh

Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable
Like nothin’ could go wrong
Now I can’t breathe, no, I can’t sleep
I’m barely hanging on

Here I am, once again I’m torn into pieces
Can’t deny it, can’t pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won’t get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that’s left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
Cause I can’t breathe, no, I can’t sleep
I’m barely hangin’ on

Here I am, once again
I’m torn into pieces
Can’t deny it, can’t pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won’t get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don’t cry on the outside
Anymore… anymore

Here I am, once again
(Once again)
I’m torn into pieces
Can’t deny it, can’t pretend
(Can’t deny it)
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won’t get to see the tears I cry
(I cry) behind these hazel eyes

Here I am (am), once again (again)
I’m torn into pieces
Can’t deny it, can’t pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won’t get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
