I sit here in this lonely room and I'm makin' funny sounds
I'm desturbing all the neighbors but I can't keep it down
This hurtin' thing got started when you'd left me behind
Everybody's got a breakin' point and I guess I've reached mine

Everybody's got a breakin' point and I guess I've reached mine
I never thought I'd see me cry especially all the time
I used to be a happy man and I thought that I was strong
But everybody's got a breakin' point and I just can't go on

[ fiddle - steel ]

I recall before we met everybody used to say
My nerves were steel and my cool would never melt away
But now my hands are shakin' and my knees are missin' time
Everybody's got a breakin' point and I guess I've reached mine
Everybody's got a breakin' point
But everybody's got a breakin' point and I just can't go on
