When Love Breaks Down

Lisa Stansfield · The Moment [2005]

My love and I, we work well together, but often we're apart

Absence makes the heart lose weight, yeah

'Til love breaks down, love breaks down

Oh my, oh my, have you seen the weather ?

The sweet September rain

Rain on me, like no other until I drown, until I drown



When love breaks down, the things you do

To stop the truth from hurting you

When love breaks down, the lies we tell

They only serve to fool ourselves

When love breaks down, when love breaks down



My love and I, we are boxing clever, he'll never crowd me out

Both be free as old confetti and paint the town, paint the town



When love breaks down, the things you do

To stop the truth from hurting you

When loves breaks down, the lies we tell

They only serve to fool ourselves

When love breaks down, we join the wrecks

Who leave their hearts for easy sex

When love breaks down, when love breaks down



My love and I, we were high and climbing into the sky of blue

Loud with colours of a rainbow, a changing view, changing view



When love breoks down, the things you do

To stop the truth from hurting you

When love breaks down, the lies we tell

They only serve to fool ourselves

When love breaks down, we join the wrecks

Who leave their hearts for easy sex

When love breaks down, when love breaks down
