[Verse 1]
Step one, first I'm off the pedestal
Went from miss perfect fo misunderstood
And now you don't ask any questions
So I questions all that you do
Don't know if it's a new me or a new you
Step two, you're really getting on my nerves
And you don't even have to say a word
Now we're fighting over dumb shit and it's taking all of our time
My heart is caught in conflict with my own mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, we've tried and we've tried and we've tried
'Cause we had something special (Special)
But it's time, yeah, it's time, you and I realize we should let go

[Chorus]
Here's a breakdown of a breakup (Yeah, it is, it is, it is)
Here's a breakdown of a breakup (Yeah, it is, it is, it is)
On a road toward the last step
We both know what's gonna happen
All the way down, all the way up, yeah
Here's a breakdown of a breakup, a-a breakup

[Verse 2]
Step three, now I'm talking to my friends
They tell me something starts when something ends
I don't wanna say it, but I know exactly where we're going
I'm done with holding out on what I hold in
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, we've tried and we've tried and we've tried
'Cause we had something special (Special)
But it's time, yeah, it's time, you and I realize we should let go

[Chorus]
Here's a breakdown of a breakup (Yeah, it is, it is, it is)
Here's a breakdown of a breakup (Yeah, it is, it is, it is)
On a road toward the last step
We both know what's gonna happen
All the way down, all the way up
Here's a breakdown of a breakup, a-a breakup

[Bridge]
Never thought it come to this (We met, we fell, we kissed)
But now it's too late to be fixed (We loved, we lost, we split)
And I know there be days when I'll miss you
Another step and another phase, I gotta get throught

[Chorus]
Here's a breakdown of a breakup (Yeah, it is, it is, it is)
Here's a breakdown of a breakup (Yeah, it is, it is, it is)
On a road toward the last step
We both know what's gonna happen
All the way down, all the way up
Here's a breakdown of a breakup, a-a breakup (Yeah)
