Beg me why?

I can't stand tall, 
I can't speak my mind
I hold it all inside 
I've been walking on thin ice
I can't do this, 
I can't do this anymore

And then you beg me why?
I need you to step aside,
Give me the chance to breathe
My breaking heart can't take this
When you're down on your knees,
You'll understand why-
I've gotta save me,
I've gotta save me over you...

I feel so small,
I'm breaking down
Reach me up,
Don't tear me down
You can't break me-
Can't break me

And then you beg me why?
I need you to step aside,
Give me the chance to breathe
My breaking heart can't take this
When you're down on your knees,
You'll understand why-
I've gotta save me,
I've gotta save me over you...

I close my eyes,
There you stand; with your broken wings
You've fallen so far, so far
You'll see how broken you really are
I can't hold you up,
I've gotta choose me
I can't take this...

And then you beg me why?
I need you to step side,
Give me the chance to breathe
My breaking heart can't take this
When you're down on your knees,
You'll understand why-
I've gotta save me,
I've gotta save me over you...

I can't keep up,
You've soared ahead-
You've left me so far behind
So when you ask me why,
Look in the mirror-
And see where the shattered pieces you've broken
You'll see why, why I've gotta choose


And then you beg me why?
I need you to step side,
Give me the chance to breathe
My breaking heart can't take this
When you're down on your knees,
You'll understand why-
I've gotta save me,
I've gotta save me over you...
