"Breaking By" lyrics

I saw the images sliding away
I saw the innocence die in your eyes that day
A fickle mind in a fucked up place
When your willingness arrives, it's dying away
In the fall, I met this girl named Grace
With a face like Debbie Harry, who was nice on skates
And for a sec, she was my every day
Until her silence implied that I get out of the way

Breaking by
Beating your heart to keep alive
Playing to save your peace of mind
And oh, you sell it well
And I'll be sneaking by
Leaving your feet to sink inside
Praying the week won't take its time
You're so beside yourself

You know you sell it well
You know you sell it well
You know

Live in your mind sometimes
You live in your mind
You live in your mind sometimes
You live in your mind

Another week goes by
You gotta put that thing aside
I can't live without it
I can't seem to see or breathe without it
I can't lift my body, I hate my body
The things I'm running from
I know I keep on wanting to be somebody, oh

Breaking by
Beating your heart to keep alive
Playing to save your peace of mind
And oh, you sell it well
And I'll be sneaking by
Leaving your feet to sink inside
Praying the week won't take its time
You're so beside yourself

You know you sell it well
You know you sell it well
You know
