You, you were the only one for me
You had me driftin' out to sea
You said goodbye without a word
Now I see the tide has turned

(I heard) he brought you to your knees
(Now you) are the one who's begging please

Breakdown, breakdown
Break down, breakdown

Yeah, ain't it a bitch when you get burned
Now you can live with what I've learned
He left you spinnin' on that wheel
Now you know just how it feels

(I heard) he brought you to your knees
(Now you) are the one who's begging please
(Don't come) looking for sympathy
When the phone don't ring, baby, that'll be me

Breakdown, breakdown
Break down, breakdown

Now your tears fall on broken dreams

Breakdown, breakdown
Break down, breakdown
