[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

Ashlee Simpson

Ashlee Simpson (born October 3, 1984) is an American singer-songwriter and actress. The younger sister of pop singer Jessica Simpson, she rose to prominence in the latter’s MTV reality show, and starred in her own spin-off The Ashlee Simpson Show which followed her creating her debut album, Autobiography, with the media noting her “punk-rock” image as a contrast to her sister. The album was released after the show’s first season in 2004 and became a big success, debuting at number one on the US albums chart being certified Triple Platinum. Following a North American concert tour and a film appearance, Ashlee released her second Platinum number-one album, I Am Me (2005). Ashlee assumed creative control over her less successful but well-received third album, Bittersweet World (2008), which differed from the pop-rock music of her previous efforts and featured a dance-pop, 1980s themed sound. In following years, she focused more on her acting career, scoring television and theatre roles while also starting her own family. In 2016, Simpson revealed she was working on new music with her husband Evan Ross and, in late 2018, they begun releasing music as a duo and called the project ASHLEE + EVAN.
