Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Open up the book, you beat me with again
Read it all,  one sentence at a time
I'm tired of all the lines
Convictions and your lies
What right do you, have to point at me?
[Verse 2]
Well, I'm sittin' alone, thinkin' about it all over coffee
And still crowdin' my space are the things you still hold against me
You cannot save me
[Verse 3]
Well, it's not the time to breakdown
Well, it's not the time to breakdown
Well, it's not the time to break up this love
Keep it together, now
Well, it's not the time to break
[Verse 4]
Read it all, no need for separatin' it
You see what you want, and try to justify
All your little lines
Convictions and your lies
What right do you, have to point at me?
[Verse 5]
Well, I'm sitting alone, thinking about it all over coffee
And still crowding my space are the things you still hold against me
You cannot save me, yeah
[Verse 6]
Well, it's not the time to breakdown
Well, it's not the time to breakdown
Well, it's not the time to break up this love
Keep it together, now
Well, it's not the time to break
[Verse 7]
Open up the book, you beat me with again
Read it all one sentence at a time
[Verse 8]
Well, it's not the time to breakdown
Well, it's not the time to breakdown
Well, it's not the time to breakdown
Well, it's not the time to breakdown
Well, it's not the time to breakdown
Well, it's not the time to breakdown this love, keep it together now
Well, it's not the time to breakdown, yeah, breakdown, yeah
