Deep horrible blues, watching you work the room
There's a frequency of trouble in the car to Malibu
I'll be crying on your milk-white sheets
Hoping one day we'll marry in a house you'll build around me

I guess I believe, I believe in old-fashioned things
Imagining us
But the longer I stay, I can see what's happening
What's happening

Welcome to my Melrose meltdown
Nobody ever breaks up, we just break down
We really fucked it up in diamonds and drug stores
That's what we came for
And when you get it, you got what you need

Handing out gold stars for tailor-made behavior
I can see your team is shining like prizes
I'm sat out on the balcony, too sad to go to the party
It's a crime loving you so, it's a crime letting you go

I guess I believe, I believe in old-fashioned things
Imagining us
But the longer I stay, I can see what's happening
What's happening

Welcome to my Melrose meltdown
Nobody ever breaks up, we just break down
We really fucked it up in diamonds and drug stores
That's what we came for
And when you get it, you got what you need

Got what you need
When you hang up and say: I'll see you later
Got what you need
Write it down, California paper
Got what you need
For evermore my anti-hero
For loving and letting me go down, down

Welcome to my Melrose meltdown
Nobody ever breaks up, we just break down
We really fucked it up in diamonds and drug stores
That's what we came for
And when you get it, you got what you need

Welcome to my Melrose meltdown (meltdown, meltdown)
We just break down (break down, break down)
