Breaking Down - Shannon Hurley

Come to bed

You’ve been up for hours

I want you to hold me

You’re working late

And I hardly see you anymore

You don’t even know me

Once upon a time

Everything was fine

Now my hope has died

And inside I am breaking down

Losing sleep I’m losing ground

Happiness is all around

But Inside I am breaking down

I try to laugh

I try to rise above it all

To stop me from hurting

But every day

Is getting harder than the last

To keep myself going

I just play along

And hide behind a song

Pretending nothing’s wrong

But inside I am breaking down

Losing sleep I’m losing ground

Happiness is all around

But Inside I am breaking down

Now you slowly disappear until everything is gone

As you turn away my dear

I’ll stay silent through my tears
