Songs Lyrics: Mariah Carey

Breakdown

Break break down

Steady breaking me on down

Break break down

Steady breaking me on down

Break break down

Steady breaking me on down

Break break down

Steady breaking me on down

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

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

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 breaking me on down

Break break down

Steady breaking me on down

Gonna break it down

Only if you let it

Everyday crazy situations rockin' my mind

Tryin' to break me down

But i won't let it

Forget it

I'll be feelin' like you're gonna break me down

Kickin' me 'round

Stressin' me out

I think I better go get out and let me relieve some stress

Don't ever wanna feel no pain pain

Hoping for the sun but it looks like rain rain rain rain rain

Oh I just wanna maintain

Yeah I can feel the pressure yo

But nevertheless Krayzie won't fall

It's over

It's ending here

Well I guess I'm trying to be

(Ooh, I'm crying)

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

(I'm gradually dying inside of my heart)

Underneath the disguise of a smile

Gradually I'm dying inside

Friends ask me how I feel

(How do I feel)

And I lie convincingly

(I'm losing my mind)

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

(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

(I'm slowly losing my mind)

Underneath the disguise of a smile

Gradually I'm dying inside

Friends ask me how I feel

(How do I feel)

And I lie convincingly

Cause I don't want to reveal

(Why do you think you gotta know I'm suffering)

The fact that I'm suffering

So I wear my disguise

(So I)

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 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
