Like a man who’s got nothing left to loseNot a penny but everything to proveLike a man on the edgeWho wishes that she had never left
Running in a circle to tie up ends still looseTryna pull his neck from out the nooseAnd win back her respectBut he’s not looking his best
When it all breaks downIt all breaks down, downDown
He can’t bare to consider someone newWhiskey and cigarettes won’t see him throughSays that he’s got a planHolding on as tight as he can
She played him for a foolBut he taught her toShe’s only ever happy
When it all breaks downIt all breaks down, downDown
She was trouble from the very startShe had a knack of tearing hearts apartNo one knows where it endsHe’s tryna not be nobody’s friend
And it all breaks downIt all breaks down, downDown

All by myselfIn the kitchen
I cook for strangersComing from the cold nightWaiting for a sunriseOh oh alone in the blue lightShe said: "j'ai bu tout l'eau des rosesAll by myself"And i already see usBreaking down in tears in the nightIn the middle of a fightAnd yet i knowI want to go this way

All through the nightWhen the moon is goneWe are two loversComing from the cold smokeAll pink like pollutionOh oh she smiles in the meantimeAt the sound of the falling roseAll by herselfAnd i already feelLike a boxer lost in my thoughtsCounting all the scars on my glovesAnd yet i knowI want to go this way

And i already see usBreaking down in tears in the nightIn the middle of a fightAnd yet i knowI want to go this way
