"Breakdown" lyrics

"Breakdown"
(feat. Demi Lovato)

[Demi Lovato, (G-Eazy):]
I got big plans, but none of them feel like mine (Yeah)
And I miss days where I used to feel like me (You know)
'Cause I've been trapped in all the freedom
Throw my heart up at the ceiling
I take another drink so I can kill the voice of reason
I got big plans (Too much is too much)
But none of them feel like mine

[G-Eazy:]
You know, uh
Been fightin' my demons, but they ain't fightin' fair
But I keep saying that "Everything is alright, I swear"
All alone in a dark space, ain't no light in there
What's fucked up is I might actually like it there
Pouring everything on this paper my pen is on
Feel like I'm breakin' in places they put the pressure on
I'm the one in my circle they all dependin' on
To do it though, I need these drugs I've become dependent on
Someone tried to confront me, now we don't get along
In my business, they trippin' on what I'm sippin' on
They can't reach the pedestal that my head is on
But, truthfully, I've been breaking down, just finally lettin' on

[Demi Lovato, (G-Eazy):]
Oh, I'm in the middle of a breakdown, baby (Uh, yeah)
I need you, I need you (I got you)
Oh, I'm in the middle of a storm now, baby
I need you, I need you to come over (I got you)
Tell me this'll be over, over soon now (Uh, yeah)
Oh, I'm in the middle of a breakdown, baby
I need you, I need you (I got you, uh)
I-

[G-Eazy:]
Crowded space, but I feel alone
Eyes on me, at all times, in the judgement zone
Somewhere on the road, fucked up, but I'm missin' home
No rest for the wicked, where could I put a pillow on
Anywhere, feel misunderstood, they try to patronize
They judging my ways, but won't empathize
You couldn't walk in my shoes, I'm not telling lies
Since 21, I've been running a whole enterprise
Provide for too many people, I can't jeopardize
But I've been breaking in half to two separate lives
Mr. Hyde just died looking in Jekyll's eyes
I start becoming somebody I can't recognize

[Demi Lovato, (G-Eazy):]
Oh, I'm in the middle of a breakdown, baby (Uh, yeah)
I need you, I need you (I need you too)
Oh, I'm in the middle of a storm now, baby
I need you, I need you to come over (I got you)
Tell me this'll be over, over soon now (Uh, yeah)
Oh, I'm in the middle of a breakdown, baby
I need you, I need you (Hey, woo!)

[Demi Lovato {G-Eazy}:]
Woah, oh-woah-ah {Uh}
(I need you) {I got you}
Oh-woah, oh-woah-ah
(I need you) {I got you}
So come over
Tell me this'll be over, over soon now {Uh, yeah}
Oh, I'm in the middle of a breakdown, baby
I need you, I need you {I got you}

[Demi Lovato, (G-Eazy):]
I got big plans, but none of them feel like mine (You know)
And I miss days where I used to feel like me

"Breakdown" was featured in the official trailer of Netflix's series "Titletown High" and on its soundtrack.

"Hearing this song with their stories brought the meaning behind the lyrics to a whole new level. We're hella excited to be a part of this series!"
