Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I came back round
I was soaked to the bone
Don't need to say it out loud 'cause you already know
I'm in over my head
And the night's getting old
Each word is a wound and excuses are cold
[PreChorus]
Defeat and surrender always feel the same to me
But what does it matter, they both bring me to my knees?
[Chorus]
Break me down and put me back together
I surrender, I surrender now
And hold me in the promise of forever
I surrender, I surrender now
[Verse 2]
I cry havoc
Before you could know
Now I'm ready to pay the debt that I owe
And it's violent work
There's some death on the vine
I know that I'm walking a treacherous line
[PreChorus]
Defeat and surrender always feel the same to me
But what does it matter, they both bring me to my knees?
[Chorus]
Break me down and put me back together
I surrender, I surrender now
And hold me in the promise of forever
I surrender, I surrender now
Break me down and put me back together
I surrender, I surrender now
And hold me in the promise of forever
I surrender, I surrender now
