  • All alone, it was always there you see
    And even on my own
    It was always standing next to me

    I can see it coming from the edge of the room
    Creeping in the streetlight
    Holding my hand in the pale gloom
    Can you see it coming now?

    Oh, oh, I think I'm breaking down again
    Oh, oh, I think I'm breaking down

    All alone, even when I was a child
    I've always known
    There was something to be frightened of

    I can see it coming from the edge of the room
    Creeping in the streetlight
    Holding my hand in the pale gloom
    Can you see it coming now?

    Oh, oh, I think I'm breaking down again
    Oh, oh, I think I'm breaking down

    All alone, on the edge of sleep
    My old familiar friend
    Comes and lies down next to me
    And I can see it coming from the edge of the room
    Smiling in the streetlight
    Even with my eyes shut tight
    I still see him coming now

    Oh, oh, I think I'm breaking down again
    Oh, oh, I think I'm breaking down again
    Oh, oh, I think I'm breaking down again
    Oh, oh, I think I'm breaking down Writer/s: Florence Leontine Mary Welch, James Ellis Ford
