This song is such a powerful commentary on how badly parents can screw up their kids. Especially in modern times, where the divorce rate is over 50% of marriages. I mean why would the young boy want to live if he thinks that this is what he's going to grow up to: watching someone you love cheat on you, constant arguing. In the song, his "breakdown" was his suicide (obviously). I think that "breakdown" can be interpreted different ways; like what noiamnotwhereibelong was saying, she lost her boyfriend because she couldn't figure out what she wanted. That's her breakdown, losing someone she loves. Such a sad song, I cry every time I hear it.
