Breakdown Lyrics

Melissa Etheridge

How could I stay
How could I breathe
There had to be more for me
Promises gone
Plastic and stone
Im doing fine all alone
So youre having a breakdown
So youre losing the fight
So youre having a breakdown
And Im driving and crying unraveled and flying
Im coming to your breakdown tonight
I cannot run
I cannot hide
It came with me locked inside
The bough will break
Cradle will fall it only takes one call
So youre having a breakdown
So youre losing the fight
So youre having a breakdown
And you need me tonight
I found my place in this downtown
Salt air and yellow street lights
So youre having a breakdown
And Im driving and crying
Unraveled and flying
Im coming to youre breakdown tonight
