I sit in the darkness watching films of old shows
The crowd hears the drop of a pin and the silence explodes
I shuffle to the spotlight; hide what could be exposed
As I scan the crowd and begin; nobody knows

That I can't see through you
I can't see through
I can't see through you
So lay back and tell me the truth

I can't break
I can't break
No matter what you say to me
I can't break

As I bellow out stories and I put on a show
There's a girl that is trapped in a plan, dressed up, nowhere to go
I imagine you standing, right there in your brogues.
You’re the next on a long list of men, but the one that I chose.

But I can't see through you
I can't see through
I can't see through you
So lay back and tell me the truth

I can't break
I can't break
No matter what you say to me
I can't break
I can't break
Cause I've broken round the bones that were left here
I can't break
Now I'm stronger I cannot break anymore.

You came out back and you promised me that we would sail away
I'd heard that before and I knew how it'd play out, but you had something so much more
We drank ‘til the sun filled the hole I'd been hiding and you stayed ‘til I smiled
Three months passed by so fast and you turned your back, now I know…

I could break
I could break
No matter what you say to me
I could break

I can't explain how I feel when I dance in the rain.
But it feels like it feels when I hear you remember my name.

So I won't break I won’t break.
No, I won’t break
I won’t break
