[Chorus]
Break down, hysteric and young
Uncomfortably numb
Then you sent my pain into oblivion
I was on the verge of breaking down
Then you came around
And not a second too late (Too late, too late, too late)

[Verse 1]
Well, give two fingers to the person that I used to be
You shook the noose, slipped my head loose
And now that boy is history
And you see that I knew better, yeah, I knew better
Than to refuse your hand, you rescued me from myself

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, just slip the noose
Untie the rope from my wrists
I was about to let go
'Til I knew you existed

[Chorus]
Break down, hysteric and young
Uncomfortably numb
Then you sent my pain into oblivion
I was on the verge of breaking down
Then you came around
And not a second too late
[Verse 2]
Well, loneliness is hell and you're alone
But I can tell you that it's everything you need
Because it brought you back to me
And now you see that I knew better, yeah, I knew better
Than to refuse your hand, you rescued me from myself

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, just slip the noose
Untie the rope from my wrists
I was about to let go
'Til I knew you existed

[Chorus]
Break down, hysteric and young
Uncomfortably numb
Then you sent my pain into oblivion
I was on the verge of breaking down
Then you came around
And not a second too late

[Bridge]
(Too late, too late, too late
Too late, too late, it's not too late, oh no)

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, just slip the noose
Untie the rope from my wrists
[Chorus]
So break down, hysteric and young
Uncomfortably numb
Then you sent my pain into oblivion
I was on the verge of breaking down
(Oh, just slip the noose, untie the rope from my wrists)
I was on the verge of breaking down
(I was about to let go 'til I knew you existed)
I was on the verge of breaking down
Then you came around
And not a second too late
