Breakdown
by Mariah Carey

Krayzie:
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,

Mariah:
You called yesterday
to basicallly 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 it was ok
To just walk away from the one thing
That's unyielding and sacred to me

Chorus:
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 a 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

Mariah:
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 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

Wish:
Yeah, c' mon, yeah, c' mon, c' mon

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

Wish:
Itll break ya down,
only if you let it
Everday crazy situation's rockin my mind
Tryin' to break me down
But I won't let it (forget it)

I been feelin like you breakin me down
kickin me round stressin me out
I think I better go and get out
And let me releve some stress
Dont ever wanna feel no pain pain
Hopin for the sun but it looks like rain rain rain
Lord I just will not maintain

Oh yeah, often feel the pressures ya' all
but never the less crazy wont fall
it's over, it's endin' 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 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
( repeat 3x)
