Lyrics
When we first met it seemed so right me and you
Initial positive impression of the relationship when they first met.
We had it all, we had it made what we had was true
Expressing the completeness and authenticity of their initial connection.
But the years have passed and we didn't last the test of time
Time has passed, and the relationship couldn't withstand the test of time.
See you now and then thought you were my friend, I was wrong this time
Realization that the person thought to be a friend wasn't true, indicating a betrayal.
Breakin' breakin', she's breakin' down
Repetition emphasizing the emotional breakdown experienced by the subject.
Breakin' breakin', she's breakin' down
-Breakin' breakin', she's breakin' down
-Breakin' breakin'
-You've lost your sense of stability, now that you're free
The partner has become unstable after the breakup.
No memory of yesterday is what you say to me
Loss of memory or acknowledgment of the past, possibly as a coping mechanism.
Say you're so jaded but intoxicated is all you feel
Claims of being jaded but relying on intoxication to cope with emotions.
And now I've learned that what we've had was never real
Realization that the past relationship was never genuine.
Breakin' breakin', she's breakin' down
Repetition highlighting the ongoing emotional breakdown.
Breakin' breakin', she's breakin' down
-Breakin' breakin', she's breakin' down
-Breakin' breakin', she's breakin' down
-Breakin' down, she's breakin' down
The subject is metaphorically "breaking down" emotionally.
The things you've done show you don't care
Recognition of the partner's negative actions, leading to a decision to withdraw.
So I won't be there
Commitment to not be there for the partner due to their actions.
Breakin' breakin', she's breakin' down
Continued emphasis on the partner's emotional breakdown.
Breakin' breakin', she's breakin' down
-Breakin' breakin', she's breakin' down
-Breakin' breakin', she's breakin' down
-She's broken down, she's breakin' down
