Breakdown Lyrics by Melissa Etheridge

Breakdown

0

[Verse 1]
How could I stay?
How could I breathe?
There had to be more for me
Promises gone
Plastic and stone
I'm doing fine all alone

[Chorus]
So you're having a breakdown
So you're losing the fight
So you're having a breakdown
And I'm driving and crying
Unraveled and flying
I'm coming to your breakdown tonight

[Verse 2]
I cannot run
And I cannot hide
It came with me locked inside
The bough will break
Cradle will fall
It only takes one call

[Chorus]
So you're having a breakdown
So you're losing the fight
So you're having a breakdown
And I'm driving and crying
Unraveled and flying
I'm coming to your breakdown tonight
(Ooh, ah, oh)
So you're having a breakdown
So you're losing the fight
Oh, so you're having a breakdown
And you need me tonight (Oh)
I found my place in this downtown
Salt air and yellow street lights
So you're having a breakdown
And I'm driving and crying
Unraveled and flying
Coming to your breakdown tonight

[Outro]
Mmm
Breakdown
