Mariah Carey
Breakdown

Break, breakdown, steady breakin' me on down
Break, breakdown, steady breakin' me on down
Break, breakdown, steady breakin' me on down
Break, breakdown, steady breakin' me on down

You called yesterday to basically say
That you care for me but that you're just not in love
Immediatly I pretended to be feeling similary
And led you to believe I was OK
To just walk away from the one thing
That's unyielding and sacred to me

Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going the extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly loosing my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
Cause I don't want to reveal that fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise til I go home at night
And trun down all the lights and then breakdown and cry

So what do you do when somebody you're devoted to
Suddenly just stops loving you
And it seems they haven't got a clue
Of the pain that rejection is putting you through

Do you cling to your pride and sing "I will survive"
Do you lash out and say: "How dare you leave this way?"
Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away?

Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going the extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly loosing my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
Cause I don't want to reveal that fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise til I go home at night
And trun down all the lights and then breakdown and cry

Break, breakdown, steady breakin' me on down
Break, breakdown, steady breakin' me on down

It'll break you down only if you let it
Everyday crucial situation wrackin' my mind
Tryin' to break me down but I won't let it
Forget it, forget it

I've been feelin' like you're breakin' me down
Kickin' me around, stressin' me out
I think I better go and get out and let me
Release some stress (stress)

Don't ever wanna feel no pain (pain)
Hoping for the sun
But it looks like rain (rain, rain, rain)
Oh, I just wanna maintain

Yeah, when you feel the pressure's on
But nevertheless Krayzie won't fall
It's over, It's endin' here, here

Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going the extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in really I'm slowly loosing my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
Cause I don't want to reveal that fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise til I go home at night
And trun down all the lights nd then breakdown and cry
