[Verse 1]
Everything was wonderful when you were in my life
Yesterday we were on a roll, baby, then we end up in a fight
Everywhere I look, I see problems where I'd never seen before
The cracks in the sidewalk, when I get home my key don't even fit the door

[Chorus]
The moon don't shine, it's broken down
The clouds are crying, they're broken down
The car won't start, it's broken down
And this shattered heart, it's broken down
My whole damn world, it's broken down
Since you left me, girl, I've broken down

[Verse 2]
Stepped outside into the night, I took a walk around the block
I stopped by the church that I used to go inside, but even that door was locked
So I came back home, feeling so alone, a light had burned out in the hall
My TV is broke, said I'm out of smoke, there's no one I can even call

[Chorus]
The moon don't shine, it's broken down
The clouds are crying, they're broken down
The car won't start, it's broken down
And this shattered heart, it's broken down
My whole damn world, it's broken down
Since you left me, girl, I've broken down
Said my whole damn world, it's broken down
Since you left me, girl, I've broken down

[Bridge]
Until you come back, come back to me
I'm going to be broken down
Until you come back, come back to me
I'm going to be broken down

[Chorus]
The moon don't shine, it's broken down
The clouds are crying, they're broken down
The car won't start, it's broken down
And this shattered heart, it's broken down
My whole damn world, it's broken down
Since you left me, girl, I've broken down
I mean my whole damn world, it's broken down
Since you left me, girl, I've broken down
My whole damn world, it's broken down
Since you left me, girl, I've broken down

It's broken down
It's broken down
