lyrics
The Breakdown
Britton/Myers
Dirty little secrets
White little lies
Break you down to little pieces
Before you realize
Won’t you look a little closer
The writings on the wall
A little honesty baby
I see through it all
It’s a breakdown tonight
I don’t have the strength left to fight
I’d break down your lies
But I don’t want to break down and cry
Throw your little parties
You’re the little socialite
All the pretty people laughing
By the candlelight
You’re the best dressed mistress
Alone when the lights go down
In the dark reaching for me
I won’t be around
It’s a breakdown tonight
I don’t have the strength left to fight
I’d break down your lies
But I don’t want to break down and cry
Build it up just to tear it down
Take what’s left and grind it to the ground
Live it up in style while it crumbles around
Can’t you see these tired eyes?
If it’s all the same,
I’ll leave with just my name
It’s a breakdown tonight
I don’t have the strength left to fight
I’d break down your lies
But I don’t want to break down and cry
