I'll put on the gloves

Breaking me down

A fistful of lies
Dressed up in disguise
And make no mistake
I know they're all so fake, they're all so fake
My self-righteous friend
I just can't pretend
Your words are the truth
Sincere only when they suit you, it hurts..

My pride, step aside
'Cause I don't need your..

Chorus - x2

Breaking me down

Chorus - x2

Breaking me down
Breaking me down
