Breakin’ Down Lyrics by Skid Row

Subhuman Race

1995

[Verse 1]
What was it you once said
That there would be things in life that can't be
Not for a second did I believe you
Not for a minute did I believe that
[Pre-Chorus]
Within your need, you lie alone
This empty space you call your home
[Chorus]
If you just let me in
I wouldn't let you break down
I'm breakin' down
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
[Verse 2]
As if you thought the rain
Could wash away the day and could heal you
Not for a second did I believe it
Not for a minute did I believe it
[Pre-Chorus]
Within your need, you lie alone
This empty space you call your home
[Chorus]
If you just let me in
I wouldn't let you break down
'Cause I'm breakin' down
If you just let me in
I wouldn't let you break down, oh
'Cause I'm breakin' down
I'm breakin' down
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 1]
What was it you once said
There would be things in life that couldn't be
Not for a second did I believe you
Not for a minute did I believe that
[Chorus]
If you just let me in
I wouldn't let you break down
'Cause I-I'm breakin' down, yeah
If you just let me in
I wouldn't let you break down
I'm breakin' down
[Outro]
I'm breakin' down
(I'm breakin' down)
Breakin' down, yeah
(I'm breakin' down)
