Breaking Down - Live from Detroit / 2019 Lyrics

[Intro: Brian Burkheiser]
Hey, you guys have been amazing tonight
Give me a round of applause real quick
We're just a bunch of kids living the dream
I don't really know how we got here, but you motherfuckers made it happen, so seriously, thank you from the bottom of my heart
Now, this next song means more to me than probably any song we've written before
I wanna dedicate this one to my parents, to my little brother, my fiancé, my doctor
You know it's okay to struggle up here
It's okay to tell people if you ain't feeling okay sometimes, and that's what this song's about
It'd mean a hell of a lot if you would sing along
This one's called "Breaking Down"

[Chorus: Brian Burkheiser]
I think, I think too much
I'm a little bit paranoid, I think I'm breaking
Maybe it's in my blood
Got a pain that I can't avoid, I think I'm breaking down

[Verse 1: Brian Burkheiser]
Hate every single second, minute, hour every day
Person in the mirror, they won't let me feel a thing
Keep me focused on my problems, I'm addicted to the pain
Everybody’s out to get you

[Pre-Chorus: Eric Vanlerberghe]
I guess I never noticed how it came creeping in
My enemy emotion, but I can't sink or swim
I say I'm feeling hopeless, they give me medicine
They give me medicine, they give me medicine
[Chorus: Brian Burkheiser & Eric Vanlerberghe]
I think I think too much (Too much)
I'm a little bit paranoid, I think I'm breaking
Maybe it's in my blood (My blood)
Got a pain that I can't avoid, I think I'm breaking
Down, I think I'm breaking
Down, I think I'm breaking
I think I think too much (Too much)
I'm a little bit paranoid, I think I'm breaking down

[Verse 2: Brian Burkheiser]
Lies; every time they ask me, I just tell 'em that I'm fine
Try to hide my demons, but they only multiply
Keep me running from the voices on repeat inside my mind
Everybody fucking hates you

[Pre-Chorus: Eric Vanlerberghe]
I guess I never noticed, how it came creeping in
My enemy emotion, but I can't sink or swim
I say I'm feeling hopeless, but no one's listening
But no one's listening, but no one's listening

[Chorus: Brian Burkheiser & Eric Vanlerberghe]
I think I think too much (Too much)
I'm a little bit paranoid, I think I'm breaking
Maybe it's in my blood (My blood)
Got a pain that I can't avoid, I think I'm breaking
Down, I think I'm breaking
Down, I think I'm breaking
I think I think too much (Too much)
I'm a little bit paranoid, I think I'm breaking down
[Outro: Brian Burkheiser]
I don't really like myself
I don't really like myself
I don't really like myself
I don't really like myself
I think I'm breaking down
Thank you so much

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 [?]
