Nina Simone Break Down and Let It All Out

Break down and let it all out
Break down and let it all out!

I’ve held back my tears
Just as long as I could
Now my eyes can see it’s all over for you and me
And holding back ain’t gonna do no good

So I’m gonna break down and let it all out
Break down and let it all out!

I’ve hidden my heart too many times before
Now my aching heart knows that we’re apart
I can’t hide it anymore

So I’m gonna break down and let it all out
Break down and let it all out!

I remember when you used to love me and oooh how sweet it was
But it’s not enough just to remember ‘cause what good is the past?
Once upon a time cause those old memories can set my heart in ease
So before I lose my mind yeah

I’m gonna break down and let it all out
Break down and let it all out!
My eyes are open and now I see it’s all over for you and me
Break down and let it all out
Break down and let it all out
Now my aching heart knows that we’re apart
Break down and let it all out
Break down and let it all out
All those old memories can set my heart at ease
Break down and let it all out
Break down and let it all out!
