Breakdown Lyrics by XIV

Iota

2017

[Verse 1]
It’s been a long, long time
Since you made it through
Since you made it through the night
And it’s been a long, long time
Since the words and the deeds
Since the words and deeds felt right

[Verse 2]
And if you’re wondering
Just how long, how long it has been
Well you can count the spaces between
Where we end now and how to begin

{Chorus]
Are you gonna break down, honey
Just like you always do
Until you find yourself a little something new?
Because you move too fast on things that don’t last
Better slow down honey or repeat the past
You’re gonna break down, honey
Just like you always do
‘Til you lose yourself in the things that you do
This pace can’t last
You’ll break down fast
Come on, honey now think it through

[Bridge]
Are you gonna break down
Honey
Just like you always do?
And why should I
Stick around
To end up broken down too?

{Chorus 2]
Are you gonna break down, honey
Just like you always do
Until you find yourself a little something new?
Because you move too fast on things that don’t last
Better slow down honey or repeat the past
You’re gonna break down, honey
Just like you always do
‘Til you lose yourself in the things that you do
This pace can’t last
You’ll break down fast
Come on, honey now think it through

Come on, honey now think it through
Come on, honey now think it through
Gonna (break) breakdown, (break) breakdown, breakdown
Come on, honey now think it through
Come on, honey now think it through
Gonna (break) breakdown, (break) breakdown, breakdown
