what the hell have you got to look forward to
i don't hear anybody knocking at your door
your life has been a message in a bottle
dumped in the ocean, never reaching any shore
at the point where nothing makes you happy
these days seem darker than they've ever been before
here it comes again, that old familiar feeling
get sick and leave your troubles on the floor
            CHORUS
just when i thought you were breaking down
just when i thought you were breaking down, she found you
just when i thought you were breaking down
just when i thought you were breaking down
you're shuttin people out has become more like a reflex
they used to be your friends, but they don't know you anymore
don't mean to hurt you, but it's my only self defense
i make myself a mystery, so they don't know who to look for
look at yourself, have you noticed your complexion
looks like you've been spending too much time indoors
in the mirror can you see your reflection
or am i the only one who's noticed that you look bored
                       CHORUS
just when i thought you were breaking down
just when i thought you were breaking down, she found you
just when i thought you were breaking down
just when i thought you were breaking down
i watched you fall apart
and never made a sound
what the hell have you got to look forward to
i don't hear anybody knocking at your door
your life has been a message in a bottle
dumped in the ocean, never reaching any shore
at the point where nothing makes you happy
these days seem darker than they've ever been before
here it comes again, that old familiar feeling
get sick and leave your troubles on the floor
            CHORUS x2
just when i thought you were breaking down
just when i thought you were breaking down, she found you
just when i thought you were breaking down
just when i thought you were breaking down
