[Verse 1]
D
You're a good actor
E/D G D
Must be a drag to know me when I'm down
D
Get such a workout
E/D G
Talking in circles here, then back around
D
You tell me sweetly
E/D G D
You wouldn't have me any other way
E/D
You're not a liar, but I can't believe you
G D E Bm G D E Bm G
When I'm in this state
[Chorus]
D E
I cave
Bm G D E
Like I was built to break
Bm G
Like I was built to break
[Verse 2]
D
Shifting perspective
E/D G D
Gets pretty hectic when you're weak of will
E/D
Holding my breath and counting to ten
G
Like dread's numerical
D
When in my right mind
E/D G D
I seem to know I'm not a pain to you
E/D
But somehow, knowing that
G D E Bm G
Doesn't conflict with knowing it's not truе
[Chorus]
D E
I cave
Bm G D E Bm G
Like I was built to break
D E
You stay
Bm G
Likе it's a passing rain

When I'm dissolving?

How can you hold me

When I'm dissolving?
[Chorus]
D E
I cave
Bm G D E
Like I was built to break
Bm G D E Bm G
Like I was built to break
D E
I cave
Bm G D E Bm G
Like I was built to break
D E
You stay
Bm G D E Bm G
Likе it's a passing rain
D E
I cave
Bm G D E Bm G
Like I was built to break

You stay

As if it's not in vain
