Breakdown

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.

How could I stay

How could I breathe

There had to be more for me

Promises gone

Plastic and stone

I\'m doing fine all alone

So you\'re having a breakdown

So you\'re losing the fight

So you\'re having a breakdown

And I\'m driving and crying

Unraveled and flying

I\'m coming to your breakdown tonight

I cannot run

I cannot hide

It came with me locked inside

The bough will break

Cradle will fall It only takes one call

So you\'re having a breakdown

So you\'re losing the fight

So you\'re having a breakdown

And you need me tonight

I found my place in this downtown

Salt air and yellow street lights

So you\'re having a breakdown

And I\'m driving and crying

Unraveled and flying

I\'m coming to you\'re breakdown tonight
