about

This song was written about my circle of friends during one of those periods it seems like everyone's breaking up and what's the point. It was written a few years before it was recorded.

lyrics

You see it all over this town
People breakin’ up and people breakin’ down
You wonder what’s wrong with this crowd
‘cause people don’t give up, they get kicked around

I tell you to play a casual game
They can’t break your heart if you don’t know their name

‘cause you see it all over this town
People breakin’ up and people breakin’ down

Why do people even bother?
Falling into love is falling in hot water
They use hearts for cannon fodder
always lighting fuses, they seem to like it hotter

I’d tell you to build a wall around your heart
But you’re one of them and like falling apart

‘cause you see it all over this town
People breakin’ up and people breakin’ down

People breakin’ up and breakin’ down
People makin’ up and makin’ out
People fallin’ in and fallin’ out
People givin’ in and givin’ out

People breakin’ up and breakin’ down
People makin’ up and makin’ out
People fallin’ in and fallin’ out
People fallin’ in and fallin’ out of love!
out of love! out of love! (falling in and falling out of falling in….)

You see it all over this town
People breakin’ up and people breakin’ down
You wonder what’s wrong with this crowd
‘cause people don’t give up, they get kicked around

I tell you to play a casual game
They can’t break your heart if you don’t know their name

‘cause you see it all over this town
People breakin’ up and people breakin’ down
‘cause you see it all over this town
People breakin’ up and people breakin’ down
