• I often wonder if this was always waiting to come for me, or if it could've been avoided. I don't know which is more depressing: the fact that I have no choice in this and that it was always there, or the fact that it was my fault, and something I did wrong.

   

  '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?
  
  Ah-ah, ah-ah I think I'm breaking down again
  Ah-ah, ah-ah I think I'm breaking down
  
  All alone even when I was a child
  I've always known there was something to be frightened of
  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?
  
  Ah-ah, ah-ah I think I'm breaking down again
  Ah-ah, ah-ah 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 it coming from the edge of the room
  Smiling in the streetlight even with my eyes shut tight
  I still see it coming now
  
  Ah-ah, ah-ah I think I'm breaking down again
  Ah-ah, ah-ah I think I'm breaking down again
  Ah-ah, ah-ah I think I'm breaking down again
  Ah-ah, ah-ah I think I'm breaking down'
