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

I can see you 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 him 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
