Thorn in my side
Pain I can't hide
Diamonds that won't shine
Oh, my soul is black as coal
Feel like I'm headed for a breakdown
Feel like I'm headed for a breakdown
Feel like I'm racing and I can't come down
Feel like I'm headed for a breakdown
God, did he cry
Tears that don't dry
Tomorrow will come and it'll be alright
Oh, my soul lost control
Feel like I'm headed for a breakdown
Feel like I'm headed for a breakdown
Feel like I'm racing and I can't come down
Feel like I'm headed for a breakdown
Was I dreaming did I lose something in, in the night?
Did I lose you? Did I lose you?
Maybe I'm sleeping and in the morning I will only see the sunshine
Did I lose you? Did I lose my mind?
Feels like I'm headed for a breakdown
Feels like I'm headed for a breakdown
Feels like I'm racing and I can't come down
Feels like I'm headed for a breakdown
Feels like I'm headed for a breakdown
Feels like I'm headed for a breakdown
Feels like I'm racing and I can't come down
Feels like I'm headed for a breakdown
