Boy Break Down Slow song lyrics

I was on the avenue reeling off the energy,

Oh, but you remained just forever on my brain.

Like a walkin' effigy, the pedestal was left for me,

But I was so afraid that it wouldn't hold my weight.

'Cause baby I ain't got the time for your show.

You see, I'm under a changing sight like a cancer grows.

And now that honey I'm breaking down oh so slow

I ain't got all the time to let you go.

You see I built an aviary to hold in all my memories.

I'm still afraid that they all might just fly away.

Don't you tear my mind down from the apple tree.

You've got fruit in your hands, but it ain't for free,

And I'm not for sure of anything anymore

'Cause baby I ain't got the time for your show.

You see, I'm under a changing sight like a cancer grows.

And now that honey I'm breaking down oh so slow

I ain't got all the time to let you go.

Oh, this is what you get for chasing dreams.

Oh, this is what you get for chasing dreams.

Oh, this is what you get for chasing dreams.
