Breakin' down

Breakin' down Lyrics

Words by Ben Harper
Music by Ben Harper / JP Plunier

You don't believe that I love you
And even if that was true
Why just to keep our unhappy home
I'm gonna try to pretend that I do

And I'm breaking down
I'm breakin' down
I'm breakin' down
I'm breakin' down
My baby she left me
Said she ain't coming back around
And I'm breaking down
Oh - I'm breaking down

And if I thought that it was okay
For a grown man to cry
I would have filled up the whole mighty ocean
When she said goodbye

And I'm breakin' down
Oh - I'm breakin' down
I'm breakin' down
Oh - Oh - Oh
I'm breakin' down
You know my baby she left me
Said she ain't coming back around
And I'm breaking down

Oh - one day you said everything was just right
I don't see how
I don't see how it changed overnight
One day you said everything was so strong
The next day you turn to me and say
It's been wrong all along

Oh - one day you said everything was just right
I don't see how it changed overnight
One day you said everything was so strong
And the next day you say it's been wrong all along

Oh - and now you won't even look at me
You pass me by in the street and you won't even speak
I never
I never
I never meant to cause you any harm
How could two people start so close and end up so far

(I'm) breaking down
Oh - I'm breaking down
I'm breakin'
I'm breakin'
I'm breakin'
I'm breakin' down
I'm breakin' down
