Every time you think that things are going well
And the skies above are clear but you can tell
Something knocks you back again
Someone kicks you back again
When at last you can do all you never could
And you start to think that things are looking good
And you’re smiling to yourself
And you’re laughing at yourself
Something throws you back again
Someone slams you down again
Something brings you round again
Someone drags you down again
Here comes the breakdown
Here comes the moment to cry
How far can you take this obsession?
You’ll never know until you try
In a world you know where some things never change
And you’re happy but it feels so very strange
And you open up your eyes
And you’re glad to be alive
And it’s never going to rain again
Something tears you right apart
Upside down and inside out
Round and round and round about
Down and down and down and out
Here comes the breakdown
Here comes the moment to cry
How far can you take this obsession?
You’ll never know until you try
Here comes the breakdown
Here comes the final goodbye
How far can you take this obsession?
You’ll never know until you
Never know until you
Never know until you try
