Breakdown
(Mariah Carey)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 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 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 'til I go home at night
And I turn down all the lights and then I break down and cry
So what do you do when somebody you're so 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 say, "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 guise of 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 'til I go home at night
And I turn down all the lights and then I break down and cry
[Better break it down
Only if you let it
Everyday the situation is rockin' my mind
Tryin' to break me down
But I won't let it
Forget it (forget it)
I'll be feelin' like it gonna break me down
Turnin' me around
Stressin' me out
I'm thinkin it gonna 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, I'm feelin' precious, yo
But never the less
Krayzie won't fall
So-ber, is headin' near (near)]
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 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 'til I go home at night
And I 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 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 'til I go home at night
And I 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

'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
And I turn down all the lights and then I break down and cry
