Breaking Point lyrics

No one saw it coming

The breaking point

There'd been heartaches before

But never a breaking point

What made him turn

What made him turn and walk away

Last time we saw him

He had nothing much to say

Now I guess we'll never know

The breaking point

He never said nothing

Cause he had nothing left to say

Never known to quite

Deep down, something snapped and broke away

There'd been heartaches before

We always laughed at the price of love we pay

I wonder

The breaking point

They say when you break down

You are the last to know

No cries for attention

Seems like he just let it go

The breaking point

The breaking point

The heart of a lion

Always known for his smile

If somebody needed

He'd always go the extra mile

The smallest of cracks

And the difference it makes

When you're close to the edge

A sweet small kiss is all that it takes

They saw him walking away

And take one last look

Now all we can do is pray

And wonder what it took

But I guess we'll never know

I guess we'll never know

The breaking point

Ah, the breaking point

Oh, the breaking point

God save us from the breaking point

God save us from the breaking point

Yeah, yeah
