You don't believe that I love you
  And even if that was true
  Why just to keep our unhappy home
  I'm gonna try to pretend that I do
  But I'm breakin' down
  I'm breakin' down
  I'm breakin' down
  I'm breakin' down
  My baby she left me
  said she ain't comin' back around
  and I'm breakin' down
  I'm breakin' down
    And if I thought that it was okay
  For a grown man to cry
  I would have filled up the whole mighty ocean
  When she said goodbye
  and I'm breakin' down
  I'm breakin' down
  I'm breakin' down
  I'm breakin' down
  You know my baby she left me
  said she ain't comin' back around
  and I'm breakin' down
  I'm breakin' down
    One day you said everything was just right
  I don't see how it changed overnight
  One day you said everything was so strong
  The next day you turn to me and say
  It' s been wrong all along
    Oh and now you won't even look at me
  You pass me by in the street and you won't even speak
  I never meant to cause you any harm
  How could two people start so close
  And end up so far
  I'm breakin' down
  I'm breakin' down
  I'm breakin' down
  I'm breakin' down
