  • Listen to me closely as the story unfolds
    This could be the saddest story even been told
    I used to want the house with the biggest pool
    I've been missing out I just feel like a fool

    Keep breaking me down, down, down

    I used to throw the party at the New Year's Eve
    First one intoxicated, last one to leave
    Waking up in places that you would never believe
    Give me back the time, you can keep the memories

    Keep breaking me down, down, down

    Every book I've read said that I would meet somebody like you
    Whenever I was sorry, so sorry for the things I used to do
    A journal full of numbers that I used to go through
    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) all behind me now, all because of you

    Keep breaking me down, down, down

    You keep breaking me, you keep breaking me down
    I don't wanna walk out
    Don't wanna go down, down, down

    See there's a door that you can walk through
    Where there used to be a wall
    I don't care, it's cool as long as you catch me baby
    (Catch me when I fall) If there's ever a fall
    Closer to the breakdown, the closer we get Writer/s: PRINCE ROGERS NELSON
