Look at the man with the fancy dress He ain't got no time does his line, feels bad at best Look at his face got lines to spare Ain't had no sleep, worryin' late about his despair Sits at the bar crawls back to gin, goes home at four Wife locks the door, won't let him in Sleeps in the car most every nights Up at dawn quickly gone avoid a fight Breakin' down, breakin' down Take me away, don't spare me Breakin' down, breakin' down It crossed his mind about suicide But throws away the plan can't cut his hand, he's afraid to die He's a desperate man, can't find a way Blew his mind, can't find a cure, can't stand no more Looks in the mirror, can't find himself Runs away, can't face the day, don't like himself
And then comes the day to end it all A sacrifice for misery he takes his life Breakin' down, breakin' down Take me away, don't spare me Breakin' down, breakin' down Take me away It crossed his mind about suicide But threw away his plan couldn't cut his hand, was afraid to die A desperate man, couldn't find a way Blew his mind, find no cure, he was no more Looks in the mirror, can't find himself Runs away, can't face the day, didn't like himself And then comes the day to end it all A sacrifice for misery he takes his life Breakin' down, breakin' down Take me away, don't spare me Breakin' down, breakin' down Take me away, take me away I can't stand it, breakin' down
