We haven’t spoken there’s nothing to say
A passing chance shakes hands with my life
My completion is compulsion
I move away from the circles of strife
Caught in your method of breakdown
Caught in your method of pulling me down
Breakdown
Breakdown
At times it seems so very shallow and thin
The mirror’s turned to face the other way
I find obsession in the desertion
I throw away the reasons why I should stay
Caught in your method of breakdown
Caught in your method of pulling me down
Breakdown
Breakdown
The final break a state of delusion
I change the rules to love is the law
I’m pulled apart I’m stretched to the limit
I pay the price but now I am sure
Caught in your method of breakdown
Caught in your method of pulling me down
Breakdown
