Story Behind The Song
Breaking Point was written back during my senior year in high school when I couldn't get a girl to notice me. This was kind of a warning... how one day I wouldn't be there, giving her this attention, and no one would ever care as much as I did.

Lyrics
It's always one thing just playing with my mind
Every single day, time after time.
It seems like the misery will never end,
and it feels like my broken heart will never mend.
Sometimes I fall, I can't rise to my feet,
It feels like I'm melting from all this heat.
I'm startin' to think that this is more than I can take
Because I'm almost to the point where I'm about to break.
Sometimes I wake up,
And then I wanna fall asleep.
So I can be in that dream of you and me,
But then I realize, that it's only just my mind,
Playing these tricks, time after time.
But then I see you, and you're smiling like the sun,
You're talking about a guy that you think is the one.
But the man for you is not him, my dear,
You see the man for you is standing tall... right here.
You don't know what it's like to be hopelessly infatuated with you.
You don't know what it's like to be lost in a lie that seems so true.
It's always one thing, just playing with my mind,
Every single day, time after time,
Just when I thought you were done breaking my heart,
It wasn't the end, it was just the start.
I wanna give up, but I can't turn away,
I wanna leave but you're on my mind all day.
In my heart I feel that I need you here,
But my mind can tell that my breaking point is near.
You don't know what it's like to be hopelessly infatuated with you.
You don't know what it's like to be lost in a lie that seems so true.
The breaking point's here I can feel it coming on,
I'm 'bout to go wild, as I feel it coming strong,
Feels like I wanna scream, whenever I see you
Standing with a guy that should be me.
I won't be here forever, so here's your chance,
Now you can stick with your boys or you can have a real man.
I really don't care I'll give up without a fight...
I'll walk right up on out of your life.
You don't know what it's like to be hopelessly infatuated with you.
You don't know what it's like to be lost in a lie that seems so true.
You don't know what it's like to be hopelessly infatuated with you.
You don't know what it's like to be lost in a lie that seems so true.
No you don't know what it's like.
