Lyrics

Breakin' Down

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You don't believe that I love you and

even if that was true why just to keep our unhappy home

I'm gonna try to pretend that I do but

I'm breakin' down

I'm breakin' down

I'm breakin' down

I'm breakin' down

My baby she left me

said she ain't comin' back around

I'm breakin' down

And if I thought that it was okay for a grown man to cry

I would have filled up the whole mighty ocean when she said goodbye and

I'm breakin' down

I'm breakin' down

I'm breakin' down

I'm breakin' down

you know my baby she left me

said she ain't comin' back around

I'm breakin' down

One day you said everything was just right

I don't see how it changed overnight

one day you said everything was so strong

the next day you turn to me and say

it's been wrong all along

Oh and now you won't even look at me

you pass me by in the street and

you won't even speak

I never meant to cause you any harm

how could two people start so close and end up so far

I'm breakin' down

I'm breakin' down

I'm breakin' down
