Breakdown Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Whenever I'm gone, you're the only one
Who know where to find me
Hiding from the dark, keeping up my guard
Please don't remind me (please don't remind me)
That I've been a stranger for a while
I've walked this road a thousand miles
With all the pain I can't forget
I'm tangled in a tourniquet
Alone, [line uncertain]
I'm getting close to fading now
When misery is a friend
Can someone push me off the edge?
[Chorus]
'Cause, I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait
Give me a breakdown
I don't wanna wait, take it all away
Give me a breakdown
[Verse 2]
Let me feel it now, tired of being down
What if I'm hopeless?
I need a reason to fix myself, dragging my fear won't help
I wanna be chosen
I've been a stranger for a while
I've walked this road a thousand miles
With all the pain I can't forget
I'm tangled in a tourniquet
Alone, [line uncertain]
I'm getting close to fading now
When misery is a friend
Can someone push me off the edge?
[Chorus]
'Cause, I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait
Give me a breakdown
I don't wanna wait, take it all away
Give me a breakdown
[Outro]
(Down) (Down) (Breakdown)
Break me down
Can someone push me off the edge?
'Cause, I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait
Give me a breakdown
I don't wanna wait, take it all away
Give me a breakdown
(Down)
