Breakdown Lyrics by Mariah Carey

Breakdown Lyrics

    VERSE 1
    You called yesterday to basically say
    That you care for me but that you're just not in love
    I'mmediately I pretended to be feel similarly
    And led you to believe I was O.K.
    To just walk away from the one thing
    That's unyielding and scared to me

    CHORUS 1
    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 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 turn down all the lights and then i break down and cry

    VERSE 2
    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

    CHORUS 2
    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 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 turn down all the lights and then break down and cry

    Bone Thugs:
    It's gonna break ya down down down
    everyday situations breakin' my mind
    tryin to break me down
    but I won't let it, forget it
    yeah the situation's gettin me down, stressin' me out
    oh God won't ya let me get out and let me
    relieve some stress
    don't ever wanna feel no pain, pain
    hopin' for the sun but it looks like rain
    Lord I just wanna maintain
    I feel the pressures yo
    But nevertheless Crazy won't fall
    its over, it’s endin here

    CHORUS 3
    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 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 turn down all the lights and then break down and cry
    REPEAT fade out
