The Breakdown

for every step that he takes forward
he feels like he's losing
he's losing so much more 
standing up for what he believes is right
he plants both of his feet,
as he struggles to fight
he struggles from within as his lungs gasp for air 
he loves her
but she hardly realizes that he's there
so he's lead by her indecisiveness once again 
but she doesn't care 
and he breaks down
 yeah, she breaks down 
Open your eyes and stop believing these ignominous lies 
she's just the air the he continues to breathe
he's just the rumor that she wanted to believe 
he breaks down 
she breaks down 
they breakdown 
he sits there hiding all of his pain 
he puts on his disguise and lives life unchanged
but on the inside he breaks down 
his thoughts of constant losing 
her ways are so confusing and he hates the way she's using him 
so he breaks down 
Breakdown, 
her constant apprehension, 
it must be a given, 
because she hates the way she's living, 
so she breaks down, 
yeah, she breaks down

Very interesting lyric, Logan. An apparent peaceful surface but we face so many inner struggles. That's what we call Life I guess. Thank you for your comment on my "Roulette". Love, Iolanda
