Breakdown Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In your life
You seem to have it all
You seem to have control
But deep within your soul
You're losing it
You never took the time
Assume that you're to blame
You think that you're insane
Won't you spare me

[Chorus]
I know the breakdown
Everything is gonna shake now someday
I know the breakdown
Tell me again, am I awake now, maybe?
You can find the reason that
No one else is living this way, yeah
Living this way, yeah

[Verse 2]
Yeah, your lies
Your world is built around
Two faces of a clown
The voices in your head
Think there's four pawns down
Well, in this unity
Fate has found the need
So you better check yourself
Before you check out
[Chorus]
I know the breakdown
Everything is gonna shake now someday
I know the breakdown
Tell me again, am I awake now, maybe?
You can find the reason that
No one else is living this way, yeah
Living this way, yeah

[Bridge]
If you find yourself
Then you might believe
Then within yourself
You just might conceive

[Chorus]
I know the breakdown
Everything is gonna shake now someday
I know the breakdown
Tell me again, am I awake now, maybe?
You can find the reason that
No one else is living this way, yeah
Living this way, yeah

[Outro]
You can find the reason that (you can find the reason that)
No one else is living this way (you can find the reason that way)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
