Mariah Carey--Breakdown
album:Butterfly
Break break down,
Steady breakin me on down,
break break down,
Steady breakin me on down,
Break break down,
steady breakin me on down,
Break break down,
steady breakin me on down.
You called yesterday
to basically say
That you care for me but
that you're just not in love
Immediately, I pretended
To be feeling similarly
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
Non-chalant about it
And I'm going to extremes
To prove I'm fine without you
But in reality
I'm slowly losing 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
The fact that that I'm suffering
So, I wear my disguise
Till I go home at night
And turn down all the lights
And then I break down 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 to extremes
to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
Underneath the disguise 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
The fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise
Till I go home at night
And turn down all the lights
And then I break down and cry
Break break down,
Steady breakin me on down,
break break down,
Steady breakin me on down,
It'll break you down
only if you let it
Everday crazy situations rocking my mind
Tryin' to break me down
But I won't let it
Forget it ( forget it)
I be feelin' like you bringing me down
Taking 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) Lord,
I just wanna maintain
Yeah, I can feel pressures ya'll
But never the less Krayzie won't fall
It's over, it's ending here ( here )
Well I guess I'm trying to be
Nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes to prove
I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing 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
The fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise
Till I go home at night
And turn down all the lights
And then I break down and cry
Well I guess I'm trying to be
Nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes
to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing 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
The fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise
Till I go home at night
And turn down all the lights
And then I break down and cry
Well I guess I'm trying to be
Nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes
to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing 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
The fact that I'm suffering

Till I go home at night
And turn down all the lights
And then I break down and cry
