China Hearts Will Always Break

You've finally let me go, but only because you think I'll shatter without you. I know that.

And I know you think that given enough time, I'll come crawling back. I'll get down on my hands and knees and beg you to put the pieces together again. Right?

You're wrong.

My heart is made of steel and you're not going to break it. You're not going to break me.

I'm better than that. I'm better than you.

And deep down inside you know that too.
