Break My Fall

Breaking Benjamin

You fought me once but not again

You let me feel your heavy hand

I will clean your fuckin mess

And leave no trace of evidence

I am losing you again

Let me out and let me in

'cause you're not alone here

Not at all

Let me belong here

Break my fall

Shelter me from this again

Dedicated to the end

Help me break my conscience in

To free her from our innocence

I am losing you again

Let me out and let me in

'cause you're not alone here

Not at all

Let me belong here

Break my fall


You fought me once but not again

Snape had fought his advances the first time. But not this time.

You let me feel your heavy hand

This time the man allowed him to feel the brutality he was truly capable of.

I will clean your fuckin mess

And leave no trace of evidence

And left Harry here to clean all traces of evidence.

I am losing you again

"Don't leave me here," he would plead. "Don't go."

Let me out and let me in

He wanted to push as far away as possible from the man, and yet get closer than ever before.

'cause you're not alone here

He was here, was he not?

Not at all

Or did he not register as anything?

Let me belong here

Please let me belong here with you.

Break my fall

Shelter me from this again

Always saved by his saving grace.

Dedicated to the end

"I'm staying. I'm in this to the end,"

"Fool."

Help me break my conscience in

"Have you no conscience, Potter! This is wrong. And has been so from the start!"

To free her from our innocence

"I wasn't aware…" the words were spoken as Harry advanced on Snape, and the previous discussion was again dropped.

I am losing you again

"No. Gods please don't go. Why! Why again?"

Let me out and let me in

'cause you're not alone here

Not at all

Let me belong here

And this time, he was truly gone. This time, Harry truly fell.
