“Bringing Me Down”, takes a dramatic topic turn from battles and numbness, to a well, a breakup song. Narrator can’t believe he let his partner walk all over him and use him.
[Verse 1]
Every day, always the same
I hear your name, and it cuts through me
Like a chainsaw, and I fall back into
That simple fool that you once knew
[Pre-Chorus]
And just as soon as I let you back in
Seems I'm reminded of all of this again
[Chorus]
(I) I can't believe (Can't believe)
That I let you walk all over me
(I) And I can't believe (Can't believe)
That you had such a hold on me
Bringing me down, you're bringing me down
You're bringing me
[Verse 2]
How much more will it take
Until I break
And I drive that stake
Right into that thing that you call your heart?
Hell, it's fallen apart
And I don't think it worked right from the start
[Pre-Chorus]
And just as soon as I let you back in
Seems I'm reminded of all of this again
[Chorus]
(I) I can't believe (Can't believe)
That I let you walk all over me
(I) And I can't believe (Can't believe)
That you had such a hold on me
[Post-Chorus]
Bringing me down, you're bringing me down
You're bringing me down, down, down
Bringing me down, you're bringing me down
You're bringing me down, down, down
[Refrain]
Bringing me down... Bringing me down...
Bringing me down... Bringing me down
Down, down, down
[Chorus]
(I) I can't believe (Can't believe)
That I let you walk all over me
(I) And I can't believe (Can't believe)
That you had such a hold on me
[Outro]
And I can't believe
That I let you walk all over me
And I can't believe
That you're still bringing me, bringing me down
You're bringing me, you're bringing me
You're bringing me, you're bringing me
