[Intro] Mmm Everybody saw me smiling Nobody saw me unraveling Funny how a heart can break Without making a sound [Verse 1] You called me up so casually Like you were changing plans Said your feelings weren't the same And I tried to understand I said "It's okay" Like those words didn't cut deep Like I wasn't lying awake When the whole world went to sleep Played it cool in public Told my girls I'd be alright But every unanswered question Kept me company at night [Pre-Chorus] Cause healing doesn't happen The moment somebody leaves Sometimes it starts The moment you finally grieve [Chorus] Break down, break down When the night gets loud When the tears fall down And there ain't no crowd Break down, break down Used to think I'd drown Now I'm finding pieces That I never found (Found, found) (Never found) Down, down, down Till the healing comes around Round, round, round Watch me turn this thing around (Turn it around) (Turn it around) I break down Then I break through I let go Then I come through What was meant to shake me Only made me brand new (Breakthrough) (Breakthrough) (Brand new) (Brand new) Break down Breakthrough Break down Breakthrough Every tear became a river Every river led me to My breakthrough (Breakthrough) (Breakthrough) (I'm coming through) (Coming through) Used to cry all night Now I understand why Every breakdown Had a breakthrough Waiting on the other side [Verse 2] I stopped checking my phone Stopped replaying old scenes Stopped trying to understand Things that weren't meant for me Every crack in my spirit Started letting light come through And I learned some doors close Because they're leading back to you Not you Me The woman I abandoned Trying to hold on To something already gone [Pre-Chorus] And maybe all this pain Wasn't punishment Maybe it was transformation [Chorus] I break down When nobody's around When the lights go low And the truth gets loud I break down Till the tears run out What felt like the ending Was finding my way out Break down, break down When the night gets loud When the tears fall down And there ain't no crowd Break down, break down Used to think I'd drown Now I'm finding pieces That I never found (Found, found) (Never found) Down, down, down Till the healing comes around Round, round, round Watch me turn this thing around (Turn it around) (Turn it around) I break down Then I break through I let go Then I come through What was meant to shake me Only made me brand new (Breakthrough) (Breakthrough) (Brand new) (Brand new) Break down Breakthrough Break down Breakthrough Every tear became a river Every river led me to My breakthrough (Breakthrough) (Breakthrough) (I'm coming through) (Coming through) [Bridge] Let it fall Let it hurt Let it wash away Everything that no longer serves Let it break Let it burn Let it teach you What your soul deserves Because every breakdown Carries a doorway If you're brave enough To walk through [Final Chorus] I broke down But I didn't stay there I found strength Hidden underneath despair I broke down And I found my light Now the woman in the mirror Looks me in the eyes And smiles [Outro] Everybody saw me smiling Nobody saw me healing But that's the thing about storms They don't come To destroy the garden They come To water it
