I Break Down

(album: Paintings In My Mind - 1990)

I try to go on, I try to be strong
I try to be the one to stand tall
I try to impress you, try to make you think
Nothing can hurt me, I can take it all

When the sky turns gray and the clouds bring thunder
I hold up a shelter for you to hide under
When the rain begins to fall
And my shelter hits the ground
Then I'm the one
To break down

I break down

They say in this world to make it you've got to be strong
Day after day, it gets harder to hold on
But sometimes I get sad
And my smiles turn to frowns
Then it's my turn
To break down

I break down

When you reach out and cry to me
Oh I hold on internally
But sometimes I get sad
And my smiles turn to frowns
Then I'm the one
I break down

When the sky turns gray and the clouds bring thunder
I hold up a shelter for you to hide under
(For you to hide under)
I break down
I break down
I break down
I break down
I break down
Now I'm the one
I break down
I break down
I break down

When the sky turns gray and the clouds bring thunder
I hold up a shelter for you to hide under
(For you to hide under)
I break down
I break down
I break down
I break down
I break down
Break
