Lyrics

All alone It was always there you see And even on my own It was always standing next to me I can see it coming from the edge of the room Creeping in the streetlight Holding my hand in the pale gloom Can you see it coming now? Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down All alone Even when I was a child I've always known There was something to be find You know that I can see you coming from the edge of the room Creeping in the streetlight Holding my hand in the pale gloom Can you see it coming now? Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down All alone On the edge of sleep My old familiar friend Comes and lies down next to me And I can see you coming from the edge of the room Smiling in the streetlight Even with my eyes shut tight I still see you coming Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down
