PRINCE - The Breakdown lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Listen to me closely as the story unfolds

This could be the saddest story even been told

I used to want the house with the biggest pool

I've been missing out I just feel like a fool

(Chorus x4)

Keep breaking me down, down, down

(Verse)

I used to throw the party at the New Year's Eve

First one intoxicated, last one to leave

Waking up in places that you would never believe

Give me back the time, you can keep the memories

(Chorus x4)

Keep breaking me down, down, down

(Verse)

Every book I've read said that I would meet somebody like you

Whenever I was sorry, so sorry for the things I used to do

A journal full of numbers that I used to go through

(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) all behind me now, all because of you

(Chorus)

Keep breaking me down, down, down x4

You keep breaking me, you keep breaking me down

I don't wanna walk out

Don't wanna go down, down, down

(Verse)

See there's a door that you can walk through

Where there used to be a wall

I don't care, it's cool as long as you catch me baby

(Catch me when I fall) If there's ever a fall

Closer to the breakdown, the closer we get
