[Verse 1]
Don’t you know it’s gonna rain
All the things I said I'd do
I didn’t fix them, did I?
On a plane, I don’t want to go away
I couldn’t help it, could I?
[Chorus]
I don’t want to drag you down
I’m just gonna shelter you
Keep you warm, safe and sound
It’s not like you to listen to the crowd
It’s just this dirty town
[Verse 2]
It goes on and on for days
From the gutter, we see stars
I didn’t stop that, did I?
When the pain
We get better just to find the same again
I couldn’t help it, could I?
[Chorus]
I don’t want to drag you down
I just gonna shelter you
Keep you warm, safe and sound
It’s not like you to use your eyes like that on me
Don’t listen to the crowd
[Outro]
It’s just this dirty town
Don’t break me
Don’t break me
Don’t break me
Don’t break me
