Breaking Down (Acoustic) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All alone
It was always there you see
And even on my own
It was always standing next to me

[Pre-Chorus]
I can see it coming from the edge of the room
Creeping in the streetlight
Holding my hand in the pale gloom
Can you see it coming now?

[Verse 2]
All alone
Even when I was a child
I've always known
There was something to be frightened of

[Pre-Chorus]
And I can see it coming from the edge of the room
Smiling in the streetlight
Even with my eyes shut tight
I still see him coming now

[Chorus]
Oh, I think I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think I'm breaking down
[Verse 3]
All alone
On the edge of sleep
My old familiar friend
Comes and lies down next to mе

[Pre-Chorus]
And I can see him coming from the edge of thе room
Smiling in the streetlight
Even with my eyes shut tight
I still see him coming now

[Chorus]
Oh, I think I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think I'm breaking down again
Oh, I think I'm breaking down

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
