Story Behind the Song
Breakdown is about well...breaking down. It's about wanting to scream all these things to somebody but for some reason you can't i.e. distance, not wanting to show your true emotions. So, you are only left with yourself and the overwhelming pain. So it all builds up inside you and you break.
Lyrics
Break Down
Look at you, you’re really unsure. What have you made yourself believe you wanted to do? You needed room, that part is true. But why are we second-guessing love, we acted too soon. The deed is done, the phone drops to the ground. I look around, there’s no one else when I break down. I break down. Sometimes the silence can be a deafening sound. Well look at me, up to my eyes in misery. You take this so goddamn easily, how can this be? Are you such a stone? Do you think you’re better off alone? This aint the face you’ve always shown me. And I’ve always known. Are you so much more then you thought you ever could be? And do they have everything that you were missing in me? Well, you’ll soon find there’s no love as true as mine. And there’s no such thing as fate. You’ll realize too late. And ill be gone. With no way to resurrect a flame that once burned so strong. The Deed is done, the phone drops to the ground, I look around there’s no one else when I break down. Weakened by feelings hid inside, that all at once come out. I break down.
