Broke Me Down
Janine Lyrics

I know you love to stand on your chair and look down at me
You enjoy having power over me and looking down on me.

Do I make you insecure is that why you betray me?
Do my actions threaten you and make you feel insecure, which is why you betray me?

I was just hoping you'd stick around for me
I expected you to stay and support me when I needed you.

I was holding you up but you weren't down for me
I was supporting you, but you did not reciprocate or support me in return.

And I don't wanna go if I'm goin nowhere
I do not want to leave if it will lead me to nowhere.

I don't want a love if it's filled with fear
I am not interested in a relationship that is based on fear or anxiety.

I don't wanna stay in your cyclone
I do not want to remain in your chaotic and tumultuous life.

Baby you broke me down, down, down, down, down
You caused me to feel broken and defeated.

Baby you broke me down, down, down, down for nothing
You broke me down without any valid reason or justification.

I'm looking in the mirror can't recognize myself
I feel so lost and confused that I cannot even recognize myself anymore.

You broke me down, down
You caused me to feel broken and defeated.

I know you love to look at yourself
You enjoy admiring your own reflection and focusing solely on yourself.

But you don't look at yourself
However, you do not reflect on your own actions or take responsibility for your mistakes.

You go and make a mess and then you blame everyone else
You make a mess of situations and then refuse to take responsibility, instead blaming others.

Not gonna lie I'm still in love with you
I must admit that I am still in love with you, despite everything.

But I've been learning how to love me too
Although I still love you, I am also learning how to love and prioritize myself.

Honestly we can't merge the two
However, I realize that we cannot merge our differing priorities and values.

And it hurts but I can't be with you cause it's
Although it is painful, I cannot be with you because it would not be healthy for either of us.

Too late too much heartbreak
It is too late to prevent the heartbreak and damage that has already occurred.

Too many of the same mistakes
We continue to make the same mistakes and repeat the same patterns.

Too many girls in your bed
You have been with too many other girls, which has led to trust issues and heartbreak.

And it's been doing in my head
These issues have been affecting my mental health and well-being.

Da da da da da da down

Down da da down da da down down da down

I just wanted you forever
I wished to be with you forever and build a lasting relationship.

Down da da down da da down down da down

I just wanted you forever baby
I specifically wished to be with you forever, as my partner and lover.

Down da da down da da down down da down
