Breaking Down

All alone

It was always there, you see

And even on my own

It was always standing next to me



I can see it coming from the edge of the room

Creeping in the streetlight

Holding my hand in the pale gloom

Can you see it coming now?



Oh, I think I'm breaking down again

Oh, I think I'm breaking down



All alone

Even when I was a child

I've always known

There was something to be frightened of



And I can see it coming from the edge of the room

Creeping in the streetlight

Holding my hand in the pale gloom

Can you see it coming now?



Oh, I think I'm breaking down again

Oh, I think I'm breaking down



All alone

On the edge of sleep

My old familiar friend

Comes and lies down next to me



And I can see you coming from the edge of the room

Smiling in the streetlight

Even with my eyes shut tight

I still see you coming now



Oh, I think I'm breaking down again

Oh, I think I'm breaking down again

Oh, I think I'm breaking down again

Oh, I think I'm breaking down
