Breaking Down Is Hard to Do

Darling girl, come run and see

All the damage that you've done to me

From the wreckage that was me and you

And breaking down is hard to do

You're the angel and I'm the cad

So good together but ... the timing's bad

We paint the town, first red, then blue

And breaking down is hard to do

I never meant to leave in pieces

I never meant to be that small

But as the honesty increases

There's nothing left of me at all

And darling girl should look away (ooo ooo ooo)

It just gets ugly if you choose to stay (ooo ooo ooo)

I'll disappear and see it through (ooo ooo ooo)

And breaking down is hard to do (ooo ooo ooo)

I never meant to leave in pieces

I never thought myself so small

But as your love for me decreases

Just grab your shoes and leave the ball

And look at all these angry words we throw around like paint

Airing each complaint, when we might have shown restraint

I never meant to leave in pieces

I never meant to be that small

But as the honesty increases

There's nothing left of me at all
