[Intro]
I'm about to lose control
[Verse 1]
I, I don't know why
Why you need some reason to feel lost inside
You, you know that I'm alright
You know that I'm just the kind of girl that feels so hurt and smiles
[Chorus]
I don't want excuses
Don't ask why
It's just a breakdown
It happens all the time
So get out of my face
Don't even try
Ya wanna help me, just let me cry
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I loved you all my life
You don't even know a thing I feel inside
Know, by the look in my eye
That I'm just fine, but I might need you to hold me tight
[Chorus]
I don't want excuses
Don't ask why
It's just a breakdown
It happens all the time
So get out of my face
Don't even try
Ya wanna help me, just let me
I don't use excuses
Don't ask why
It's just a breakdown
It happens all the time
So get out of my face
Don't even try
Ya wanna help me, just let me
[Bridge]
I had a bad day, I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry
I had a bad day, I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry
I had a bad day, I 'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry
I had a bad day, I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry
Just let me... cry
Just let me cry, I'm crying, I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down, just let me cry
[Chorus]
I don't want excuses
Don't ask why
It's just a breakdown
It happens all the time
So get out of my face
Don't even try
Ya wanna help me, just let me
I don't want excuses
Don't ask why
It's just a breakdown
It happens all the time
So get out of my face
Don't even try
Ya wanna help me, just let me cry
I'm about to lose control
[Verse 1]
I, I don't know why
Why you need some reason to feel lost inside
You, you know that I'm alright
You know that I'm just the kind of girl that feels so hurt and smiles
[Chorus]
I don't want excuses
Don't ask why
It's just a breakdown
It happens all the time
So get out of my face
Don't even try
